Ingredient callouts

  • A good concentration of Niacinamide (1.60% - 2.40%). 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.
  • Peptides (tripeptide-1 0.15% - 0.50%, palmitoyl tripeptide-1 0.10% - 0.50%, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7 0.10% - 0.50%, palmitoyl pentapeptide-4 0.10% - 0.40%, palmitoyl hexapeptide-12 0.10% - 0.40%, oligopeptide-1 0.10% - 0.40%, nonapeptide-1 0.10% - 0.45%, hexapeptide-11 0.10% - 0.45%, dipeptide-2 0.10% - 0.40%, copper tripeptide-1 0.10% - 0.45%, arginine/lysine polypeptide 0.10% - 0.45%, acetyl tetrapeptide-3 0.10% - 0.45% and acetyl hexapeptide-8 0.10% - 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.
  • Adenosine 0.15% - 0.55%. It is a chemical present inside our skin cells. A clinical trial confirmed that topical application of Adenosine in a low concentration can reduce dynamic wrinkles (these are the wrinkles that appear with age in a places where our mimic is the most active, for example, in the corners of the eyes or on the forehead).
  • Panthenol (pro-vitamin B5) at about 0.35% - 0.80% concentration. In this concentration, Panthenol works effectively to improve the skin barrier and reduce inflammation.
  • Humectants (sodium acetylated hyaluronate 0.05% - 0.20%, hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid 0.10% - 0.35%, hyaluronic acid 0.10% - 0.35%, acetyl hexapeptide-8 0.10% - 0.40%, sodium hyaluronate crosspolymer 0.10% - 0.45%, panthenol 0.35% - 0.80%, sodium hyaluronate 0.55% - 1.30%, glyceryl glucoside 1.20% - 1.80%, trehalose 1.40% - 2.00% and glycerin 2.60% - 3.80%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.
