Ingredient callouts

  • Peptides (acetyl tetrapeptide-2 0.35% - 0.85%). 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 0.35% - 0.85%. 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).
  • Actives derived from an extract of the Centella Asiatica plant (also known as Gotu Kola) - madecassoside 0.35% - 0.85% and asiaticoside 0.30% - 0.75% The Centella Asiatica Actives help strengthen and restore the skin barrier, decrease inflammation in skin and neutralize free radicals. They also can help to reduce scarring. The good news is that these actives work even in low concentrations.
  • Panthenol (pro-vitamin B5) at about 0.35% - 0.85% concentration. In this concentration, Panthenol works effectively to improve the skin barrier and reduce inflammation.
  • Humectants (sodium hyaluronate 0.35% - 0.85%, yeast extract 0.35% - 0.80%, saccharomyces ferment filtrate 0.35% - 0.85%, glycerin 0.40% - 0.95%, diglycerin 0.35% - 0.85%, glycerin 0.40% - 0.95%, dextran 0.35% - 0.85%, panthenol 0.35% - 0.85%, betaine 0.35% - 0.85%, glycerin 0.40% - 0.95% and glycerin 1.10% - 1.70%).
