Ingredient callouts

  • Exfoliating acids (mandelic acid 1.00% - 1.20% and lactic acid 4.10% - 5.00%). In this concentration, they will have a noticeable exfoliating effect. They can also have an anti-aging effect and stimulate collagen production in a long-run. Lactic Acid can also help to attract water to the upper layer (works as a humectant).
  • Peptides (sh-polypeptide-11 0.25% - 0.45%, sh-oligopeptide-1 0.25% - 0.40% and palmitoyl tripeptide-5 0.25% - 0.40%). There are many different kind of Peptides and they are naturally present in our skin. They all are a combination of aminoacids. Some of them work as natural antibiotics, promote wound-healing and production of collagen. The science is still not settled on how effective Peptides are in skincare, but it is very likely that they have a benefit. They might help restore the skin barrier and fight the signs of aging. At the very least, Peptides work as humectants: they attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve its hydration.
  • Salicylic acid (1.10% - 1.30%). This is an oil-soluble exfoliating acid. Because of this property, it can work inside pores and help reduce the congestion. It has an anti-inflammatory effect and is used to treat acne. Because it is a quite strong exfoliator, be careful with using this product too often: it could result in over-exfoliation.
  • Panthenol (pro-vitamin B5) at about 1.20% - 1.50% concentration. In this concentration, Panthenol works effectively to improve the skin barrier and reduce inflammation.
  • Humectants (hyaluronic acid 0.25% - 0.40%, sodium hyaluronate 0.25% - 0.45%, hyaluronic acid 0.25% - 0.40%, arginine 0.65% - 1.00%, panthenol 1.20% - 1.50%, glycerin 3.00% - 3.60%, lactic acid 4.10% - 5.00% and sodium lactate 0.35% - 0.60%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.
