What we use to give you results:

ALPHA-ARBUTIN
A powerful skin-brightening ingredient derived from the bearberry plant. Known for its ability to even out skin tone, it works by inhibiting tyrosinase, an enzyme involved in melanin production, effectively reducing the appearance of hyperpigmentation. It also addresses glycation, a process that can weaken collagen and elastin, helping to maintain skin firmness and elasticity. Unlike some brightening agents, alpha-arbutin is gentle on the skin, making it suitable for sensitive and blemish-prone skin types. With regular use, it promotes a brighter, more radiant complexion and enhances overall skin clarity

BAKUCHIOL
Bakuchiol is a natural ingredient derived from the seeds and leaves of the psoralea corylifolia plant, commonly known as the "babchi" plant. It is a gentle, plant-based alternative to retinol, offering anti-aging benefits like reducing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and improving skin texture. Bakuchiol is non photosensitizing, meaning it does not increase the skin's sensitivity to sunlight, making it suitable for use during the day. It also has anti-inflammatory, soothing and powerful antioxidant properties.

CARNOSINE
A naturally occurring dipeptide composed of beta-alanine and histidine, known for its powerful anti-aging benefits. It acts as a potent antioxidant, neutralizing free radicals and preventing oxidative stress. A standout property of carnosine is its ability to combat glycation, a process that stiffens collagen and elastin, leading to skin aging. By reducing glycation, it helps maintain skin firmness and elasticity. Additionally, carnosine supports the skin’s barrier and soothes inflammation, promoting healthier, more resilient skin

COQ10 (UBIQUINONE)
CoQ10 is a vitamin-like, fat-soluble substance present in all human cells. It's responsible for cell protection and production of the body’s energy. Studies have shown that the properties of ubiquinone (CoQ10) help reduce the appearance of wrinkles and sun damage by stimulating healthy collagen production. The body also uses CoQ10 for its antioxidant properties to protect the skin from damage caused by harmful free radicals. This ingredient is also known as a liposome, which helps deliver key ingredients deeper into the skin. Naturally derived from non-GMO soybeans

Lilac stem cells also soothe irritated skin and improve overall skin texture by stimulating the regeneration of skin cells. In addition to these anti-aging and brightening benefits, lilac stem cells are beneficial for blemish prone skin, as their soothing and anti-inflammatory properties help reduce redness and irritation associated with breakouts. Additionally, studies show that lilac stem cells can help balance oil production

MANDELIC ACID
An alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) derived from bitter almonds. Known for its gentle exfoliating properties, it promotes cell turnover, helps smooth skin texture and brightens the complexion. Due to its larger molecular size, mandelic acid penetrates the skin more slowly, making it less irritating than other AHAs, which is ideal for sensitive or acne-prone skin. Additionally, it has antibacterial properties that help unclog pores and reduce breakouts while improving the appearance of fine lines and uneven skin tone

PALMITOYL TRIPEPTIDE-38
Palmitoyl tripeptide-38, also known as matrixyl 3000 or matrixyl synthe'6, is a highly effective peptide in skincare known for its anti-aging properties. Studies have shown that it enhances the synthesis of key components in the skin’s extracellular matrix, leading to improved skin structure, elasticity, and firmness. This peptide works by activating specific enzymes that regulate cell activity and promote skin regeneration, which helps to smooth out fine lines and wrinkles. In clinical studies, Palmitoyl tripeptide-38 has been shown to improve skin hydration, texture and overall appearance, reducing the visible signs of aging, such as wrinkles and lack of elasticity

PALMITOYL TRIPEPTIDE-5
Palmitoyl tripeptide-5 is a small peptide which mimics the human body’s own mechanism to produce collagen. This ingredient protects the naturally produced collagen in the skin, and helps prevent collagen degradation. As a result, it slows down aging and the reduces visible lines, wrinkles, sagging, and dryness. Additionally, palmitoyl tripeptide-5 helps to deactivate the key enzymes in collagen degradation and prevents cellular activities that cause inflammation, leaving the skin more youthful and regenerated.

PEPTIDE (ACETYL HEXAPEPTIDE-8)
Acetyl hexapeptide-8, also known as "argireline," is a peptide specifically designed to target expression lines and wrinkles caused by repeated facial movements. It works by temporarily relaxing facial muscle contractions, reducing the appearance of fine lines, particularly around the eyes and forehead by inhibiting the neurotransmitters that trigger muscle contractions. Known as a "botox-like" ingredient, it offers a non invasive option for smoothing the skin and promoting a more youthful appearance

PEPTIDE (ACETYL TETRAPEPTIDE-5)
Eyeseryl is a tetrapeptide that is added to cosmetics for its ability to tighten skin around the eyes and face. This ingredient counteracts the skin’s loss of elasticity due to aging, and works to reduce water accumulation and puffiness around the eyes. It can also be used to moderately reduce dark circles that become apparent as matured skin thins and loses its elasticity overtime

RETINAL
Retinal, also known as retinaldehyde, is a potent form of vitamin A that is just one conversion process away from pure retinoic acid, the active form used by the body. It helps stimulate collagen production, promote cell turnover, and improve skin texture, making it effective for reducing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and hyperpigmentation. Additionally, retinal has brightening properties and is beneficial for acne-prone skin by helping to unclog pores and reduce inflammation. Retinal offers the benefits of retinoic acid with a lower risk of irritation, making it suitable for sensitive skin
