📌KEY INGREDIENTS (percentages are unknown, unfortunately):
✨Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate (SAP) - stable form of Vitamin C. Antioxidant, brightens and lightens skin, promotes collagen formation, fights acne and damage caused by UV-radiation.
✨ Glycolic Acid - exfoliates, fights hyperpigmentation, increases synthesis of collagen and elastin.
✨ Lactobionic Acid - has gentle exfoliating, antioxidant and regenerating properties
✨ Matrixyl 3000 - promotes collagen and elastin production, improves skin firmness and reduces wrinkles, suppresses the release of inflammatory factors and eliminates inflammation.
✨ Alpha-Arbutin - fights hyperpigmentation, lightens the skin. Works even more efficiently in combination with exfoliants.
✨ Salicylic Acid (<1%) - helps to unclog pores, decreases seboproduction, gently exfoliates.
✨ Niacinamide (<1%) - works with enlarged pores, uneven skin tone, but percentage is low.
✨Humectants, healing, soothing and anti-inflammatory ingredients, antioxidants.
✨Complex of mixed fruit acids.
📌MY EXPERIENCE:
🌟First of all I have to say that I don’t understand how this mix of ingredients works together (my knowledge of cosmetic chemistry is weak though). SAP works with pH 6-7, Peptides need pH 5-7, Glycolic acid needs a bit lower pH, under 5🤔 Usually AHA/BHA damage the efficacy of the peptide molecule, but some complexes allow to use them together safely. I hope these are the ones used here.
🌟 Super-lightweight translucent liquid. No fragrance, vegan ingredients👍 2 oz (60 ml) - excellent volume.
🌟I apply this serum on the dry clean skin in the evening. It is absorbed in a matter of seconds. And despite all my doubts my skin in the morning is smooth and has even tone without any irritation ❤️
🌟 This serum is not for intensive exfoliation in one use, but for daily gentle work of improving skin texture and fighting pigmentation. Suitable for sensitive skin.
