Moisturizing

This product can help improve hydration of the skin with the two types of ingredients.

The first type is called “humectants”:
these ingredients help attract water. When humectants are on the surface of the skin, they “pull in” the moisture from the outside environment, or from within deeper layers of the skin. The following ingredients in this product do the job: arginine, caprylyl glycol.

This product also contains ingredients called “occlusives”. They help reduce the speed with which our skin loses moisture to the outside environment. These ingredients also help soften the upper layer of the skin, so it feels less tight and nicer to the touch. The following ingredients in this product do the job: arginine, caprylyl glycol.

arginine 2.3% - 3.4%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

An amino acid that is naturally present in skin and helps keep it hydrated. When used together with AHAs, it can reduce their irritating effect on the skin

caprylyl glycol 1% - 1.5%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: LOW

Helps preserve products and creates a nice product texture

Anti-blemish

What does the product description say?

A serum infused with 85% Houttuynia Cordata Extract and 9.7% Tea Tree Extract to refine pores and soothe troubled skin with antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties.
