Top Ingredients for Specific Skin Concerns
All skin is different. In the ever-evolving world of aesthetics, it can be a challenge to keep up with what’s best for your specific concerns. Ingredients that overlap, multiple issues at once and different tolerability levels to active ingredients can make at-home skincare intimidating, but we’re here to help!
Fine Lines & Wrinkles
If you experience fine lines – retinoids, (a derivative of vitamin A) like All-Trans Retinol can help smooth skin through the stimulation of natural collagen. For hydration, Hyaluronic Acid is a must and can help further plump skin while Vitamin C will prevent Free-Radical damage and the formation of future wrinkles.

Lifting Saggy Skin
The key here is “jump-start” collagen production through the combined use of All-Trans Retinol and Collagen Peptides, the building blocks of collagen. Tranexamic Acid is also an emerging star for addressing skin elasticity as both a skin tightener and absorption enhancer for follow-up treatment products.

Balancing Uneven Tone
Tranexamic acid, again, is emerging as a powerhouse ingredient that can help inhibit melanin production at a cellular level, and prevent the formation of new dark spots while decreasing the contrast between darker and lighter areas of skin. Kojic Acid behaves similarly in that it can help inhibit discoloration with the additional antioxidant benefits. Vitamin C is also a well-known tone-enhancer, with its benefits stemming from the ability to scavenge free-radicals - a precursor to discoloration.

Enhancing Natural Glow
Set the stage by ridding skin of surface debris with Alpha Hydroxy and Beta Hydroxy acids, TCA (Trichloroacetic Acid) specifically. This will help clear the way for fresh skin cells to develop and brighter, more radiant tone to emerge. Snail Growth Factor can help expedite skin’s natural healing process, and quicker results for glowing skin following exfoliation. Consistent use of Collagen Peptides can also extend the longevity of glowing, healthier-looking skin between exfoliation sessions.

Sensitive Skin
By methodically introducing skin to low concentrations of All-Trans Retinol, sensitivity can be addressed while building tolerability and conditions for stronger skin. The use of Arnica Montana while utilizing All-Trans Retinol can drastically reduce topical irritation while naturally hydrating. The use of Probiotics in skincare can also drastically help improve conditions for less skin sensitivity by balancing natural conditions for healthy, balanced skin on the skin surface.

Hydrating & Nourishing
Some common ingredients found amongst quality moisturizers are coconut milk, squalane and Sodium Hyaluronate, a form of hyaluronic acid that penetrates deep into the skin to stimulate natural hydration. Urea contributes to skin's natural barrier function by helping to strengthen skin's outer layer, which is crucial for preventing moisture loss and protecting against external irritants. Panthenol, like hyaluronic acid, is a humectant, which means it has the ability to attract and retain moisture from the air. This helps to keep the skin hydrated by preventing water loss and maintaining the skin's moisture balance.
