Ingredient callouts

  • This product contains acids (lactic acid 0.80% - 1.20%). 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.
  • What makes this product special is the inclusion of Cannabidiol, or CBD (0.30% - 0.50%). CBD is a new active in skincare, and the research about it is still ongoing. It is already clear though that CBD can bind to skin cell receptors. It can help reduce inflammation, itching, and help support skin barrier function. It also has a promise in reducing acne.
  • This product contains an effective form of Retinoids (vitamin A): retinol 0.25% - 0.45%. Retinoids are potent multitasking actives. They work to improve and prevent early signs of aging, reduce hyperpigmentation (age spots and post-acne marks), and prevent inflamed blemishes and clogged pores. The downside of Retinoids is that they can be irritating. If you are not already using a Retinoid in your routine, it is best to start slowly and apply the Retinoid product only a few times per week. If your skin tolerates it well, you can gradually increase the frequency to daily.
  • Ceramides (ceramide np 0.30% - 0.60%). 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.
  • Humectants (sodium pca 0.10% - 0.25%, sodium lactate 0.15% - 0.25%, glycerin 0.30% - 0.60%, betaine 0.25% - 0.45%, glycerin 0.30% - 0.55%, arginine 0.25% - 0.45%, glycerin 0.30% - 0.60%, citrulline 1.40% - 1.70%, glycerin 3.80% - 4.60% and citrulline 0.25% - 0.45%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.
