Ingredient callouts

  • A good concentration of Niacinamide (2.40% - 2.90%). Niacinamide is a well-studied multi-tasking active. It is stable, and can work well in almost any hydrating formulation. There is solid evidence that Niacinamide can help support skin barrier, regulate oil production and reduce acne and clogged pores. It also helps to fight photodamage and improve the skin tone, reducing pigmentation marks.
  • This product contains acids (glycolic acid 0.45% - 0.65% and lactic acid 0.45% - 0.70%). Their concentration is low, and they will not have a strong exfoliating effect. Instead, they work to support the skin natural acid mantle and to attract water (as humectants). Lactic acid is particularly good in attracting water to the upper layer of the skin and improving the skin barrier.
  • Ceramides (ceramide ng 0.70% - 1.10%). Ceramides are a type of lipids that our skin produces itself. They are a building block of the skin's barrier. Ceramides used in skincare are synthetic or extracted from plants. They work well for softening the skin surface and "patch holes" in the skin's barrier.
  • We love that there is also Linoleic Acid in this product (0.70% - 1.05%). Linoleic Acid is one of the skin's natural emollients. It supports the skin barrier and can even help reduce clogged pores.
  • Humectants (sucrose 0.25% - 0.45%, sodium hyaluronate 0.25% - 0.50%, acetyl glucosamine 0.25% - 0.45%, thermus thermophillus ferment 0.25% - 0.50%, saccharomyces lysate extract 0.35% - 0.65%, algae extract 0.50% - 0.75%, trehalose 1.40% - 1.70% and glycerin 3.10% - 3.80%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.
