Ingredient callouts

  • Exfoliating acids (glycolic acid 4.80% - 5.90%). 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.
  • This product also contains Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid). It can be an effective active for anti-aging and evening out the skin tone, but in this product it is used for stabilizing other ingredients in the formulation. In this concentration (0.20% - 0.40%) it cannot have a noticeable benefit for the skin.
  • Peptides (sh-polypeptide-22 0.05% - 0.10%, sh-oligopeptide-1 0.10% - 0.20%, sh-polypeptide-22 0.20% - 0.40%, sh-oligopeptide-1 0.20% - 0.40%, sh-polypeptide-9 0.20% - 0.40%, sh-polypeptide-8 0.20% - 0.40%, sh-oligopeptide-2 0.20% - 0.40%, sh-polypeptide-1 0.20% - 0.40% and sh-oligopeptide-1 0.20% - 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.
  • Panthenol (pro-vitamin B5) at about 1.10% - 1.30% concentration. In this concentration, Panthenol works effectively to improve the skin barrier and reduce inflammation.
  • Humectants (alanine 0.20% - 0.35%, glyceryl acrylate/acrylic acid copolymer 0.20% - 0.40%, betaine 0.20% - 0.40%, glycerin 0.25% - 0.45%, sodium hyaluronate 0.20% - 0.40%, polyglutamic acid 0.20% - 0.40%, saccharide hydrolysate 0.20% - 0.40%, polyglycerin-3 0.25% - 0.45%, trehalose 0.20% - 0.40%, glycerin 0.25% - 0.45%, sh-polypeptide-8 0.20% - 0.40%, sodium pca 0.75% - 1.15%, panthenol 1.10% - 1.30% and glycerin 1.90% - 2.30%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.
