Sodium Ascorbyl

Phosphate is an excellent in scavenging reactive oxygen species from the skin surface. Activates ceramide synthesis which prevents comedogeneisis and further assists in managing breakouts

Niacinamide (Vitamin B3)

Works with the natural substances in skin to visibly improve the appearance of blemishes and pores.

Hyaluronic Acid

Helps replenish and maintain moisture content in the skin, resulting in hydrated, plump skin. Replenishing moisture content diminishes fine lines. Modified Hyaluronic Acid is able to penetrate to all depths of the skin, ensuring that deeper layers have optimal moisture content.

Polyglutamic Acid

Is a naturally occurring biopolymer that increases the production of natural moisturising factors in skin.

B5

Has soothing and anti-inflammatory properties to assist skin healing.

Retinol

A Vitamin A derivative, is effective for ageing, acne and dark spot concerns. Retinol inhibits collagen breakdown that causes elastosis, unclogs blocked pores, reducing acne breakouts. Promotes cell turnover, encouraging new cell growth for a more even complexion.

Mandelic Acid

Is an effective exfoliator that gently removes dead skin cells from the surface of the skin.
