Discover what ingredients are the most effective at fighting signs of aging and defending skin health.
1. RETINOL
Retinol is a derivative of Vitamin A. It has been scientifically proven to effectively fight signs of skin aging like fine lines, wrinkles, dark spots and it is also an efficient acne treatment.
Vitamin A is the first ever FDA approved vitamin that can fight wrinkles. It acts as an agent that has the ability to change the appearance of the skin surface and has anti-aging effects!
Usually, it takes several weeks to see the results of retinol use. If retinol is applied regularly, it turns into retinoic acid, the component responsible for the growth of new and healthy skin cells.

2. VITAMIN C
Vitamin C is an essential and powerful antioxidant that skincare cannot be without! It has the ability to protect skin, rejuvenate skin cells and provides a strong antioxidant effect against damaging free radical and UV rays exposure.
It can also boost the production of collagen that our body needs, making it one of the most effective and beneficial ingredients in the world of skin care!
VITAMIN E
One of the vitamins that can also nourish and protect our skin is Vitamin E. It has actually been used and recommended for more than 50 years already!
Vitamin E can reduce skin damage and hyperpigmentation caused by UV irradiation. Also, when we ingest Vitamin E, they go directly to the skin through our sebum. It is the reason why people with oily skin actually have higher levels of Vitamin E.

Vitamin C and E are usually formulated and combined together as ingredients in skincare because their synergistic effects can give our skin the maximum benefits it needs. With the two ingredients combined, the protection and brightening effects our skin needs are doubled up!

3. GLYCOLIC ACID
A proper skincare will not be complete without Glycolic Acid for a lot of people. It is the most natural, safe and effective exfoliator available after all!
Glycolic acid is a form of Alpha-Hydroxy Acid or what we call AHA. AHAs are considered the magic ingredient that can give dull, wrinkled, and rough skin its dewy, smooth, plump and luminous appearance! AHAs are shown to act as a skin barrier against harmful external aggressors. It is also an important element against DNA breakage and damage!
AHAs are acids that can be naturally or synthetically sourced. Natural glycolic acid is sourced from sugar cane, pineapple and sugar beets.
Glycolic acid can effectively remove dead skin cells found in the different layers of the skin to reveal a new, fresh, and healthy skin that is brighter and more vibrant! It is more commonly used to remove scars and dark spots but it can effectively fade lines and wrinkles as well!

Hyaluronic acid or HA plays a very significant role in regulating skin repair, wound healing, and tissue regeneration. It is widely used as an imperative component of cosmetic and nutricosmetic products!
Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance present in our body. This powerful ingredient can provide hydration, firmness, and volume to dry and dehydrated skin!

Niacinamide has become an essential in dermatology and skincare. Depending on its concentration, it has wonderful properties that are antimicrobial and photo protective, which means it has the ability to protect against the harmful effects of UV light.
It also has sebostatic effects to inhibit the excessive production of sebum or oil in the skin, and it can effectively reduce hyperpigmentation, skin discolorations and dark spots!
