“This gel-cream does it all, and then some it works effortlessly alongside potent brighteners, soothers, hydrators and (pore) clarifying agents to help retexturize the skin surface, lift discolouration, fade stubborn hyperpigmentation, refine pores, combat breakouts and help smoothen the appearance of lines and wrinkles.”
This product can help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness because it contains glycolic acid.
Keep in mind that it typically takes at least 6 weeks to notice any results because the changes that are needed to improve fine lines and elasticity happen in the deeper layers of the skin. No topical anti-aging product can “erase” wrinkles or fully reverse signs of aging.

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:
glycerin, saccharide isomerate.
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: melia azadirachta seed oil, nigella sativa seed oil.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: panthenol
“When formulating this, we wanted to address breakouts and hyperpigmentation at the same time.”
This product can help reduce hypepigmentation and even out the skin tone because it contains the following effective ingredients: glycolic acid, mandelic acid
The following ingredient (ingredients) in this product might be helpful, but there is no evidence to confirm that it actually can help even out the skin tone: glycyrrhiza glabra root extract.
Keep in mind that you would need to apply any topical skincare targetted at hypigmentation consistently for a couple of months to get a result. No topical skincare product can help get rid of hyperpigmentation (including post-acne marks and age spots) instantly.
“It’s Deeper Than Skin™The Accelerator™ is a next-generation multitasker 12.5% Enzyme Acid blend of Dioic, Mandelic, Salicylic and Pomegranate Enzymes.”
This product can help exfoliate the skin. In other words, it helps break down the bonds between dead cells on the surface of the skin and speed up the skin turnover. Skin often appears softer and brighter after exfoliation, but overdoing it can result in disrupted skin barrier. The following ingredient is doing the exfoliating job in this product: glycolic acid, mandelic acid.
“When formulating this, we wanted to address breakouts and hyperpigmentation at the same time.”
This product contains ingredients (glycolic acid, mandelic acid, zinc pca) that could help reduce blemishes and clogged pores in theory, but there is not enough evidence that they actually work.
