The Benefits

Brightening

Brightening your skin means restoring its natural glow. One of the best ways to do this is through exfoliation. By exfoliating, you promote faster skin cell turnover, replacing old, damaged cells with fresh, radiant ones. This keeps your skin looking vibrant and healthy.

Regenerating

Regenerative benefits work to restore and renew your skin at a cellular level. By stimulating cell turnover and boosting collagen and elastin production, they help repair damage, diminish fine lines and wrinkles, and improve overall skin texture. The result is a rejuvenated, firmer, and more youthful complexion that radiates vitality.

Repairing

Repairing your skin means restoring cells damaged by external factors like UV rays and free radicals, which can harm cell DNA and slow regeneration. Although our cells naturally repair themselves, this ability weakens over time due to ageing and repeated environmental exposure. Active ingredients can boost this natural process, preserving your skin's health, elasticity, and radiance. By supporting skin cell repair, these ingredients combat premature ageing and help maintain a firm, plump, and toned complexion.

Anti-Ageing (Senescence)

The advancement in anti-ageing skincare now enables us to combat cellular senescence—a state where cells stop dividing but remain metabolically active, continuing processes like protein synthesis. This means that while these cells no longer contribute to tissue renewal, they still engage in metabolic activities, producing proteins and other molecules that can affect the surrounding tissue. Skin senescence is triggered by factors such as stress, poor diet, lack of sleep, DNA damage, inflammation, and genetic predisposition. Over time, the accumulation of these senescent cells accelerates ageing by secreting harmful compounds that cause inflammation and damage surrounding tissues and cells. Innovative technologies in anti-ageing skincare can now target cellular senescence using advanced actives to inhibit senescence-associated markers and promote cell regeneration. By regenerating skin cells, these products reduce visible signs of ageing, such as wrinkles, sagging, and discoloration, while enhancing skin resilience and overall health.

Chemical Exfoliation

Chemical exfoliation uses acids to dissolve the "glue" holding dead skin cells together, promoting skin cell turnover and replacing old cells with new, healthy ones. Acids like AHAs, BHAs, and PHAs not only help shed skin but also offer benefits like brightening, clarifying, and anti-ageing, depending on the type used.

Complexion-Evening (Anti-Blotchiness)

Evening skin tone is all about reducing blotchiness and achieving a more uniform complexion. Skincare products designed for this purpose use a blend of active ingredients, including soothing agents, anti-pigmentation compounds, antioxidants, and skin-restoring elements. These ingredients work together to diminish redness, inflammation, and pigment irregularities caused by inflammation, while also strengthening and protecting your skin against environmental irritants and future damage. This promotes healing and resilience, leaving your skin more balanced, radiant, and beautiful.

Pore Tightening & Minimising

Pore minimising involves reducing the appearance of enlarged pores. Enlarged pores often result from excess oil production and accumulated impurities, which stretch them over time. ageing also plays a role, as reduced skin elasticity makes pores more visible. Pore-minimising formulas tackle these issues by regulating oil production and boosting collagen and elastin to enhance skin elasticity. This helps pores return to their natural, less noticeable shape, giving your skin a smoother, more refined look.

Firming

Skin firming focuses on boosting your skin's elasticity and tightness to reduce sagging and wrinkles, leaving your skin looking firmer. This is done by stimulating fibroblasts to produce more elastin, the protein that helps your skin stretch and bounce back. To keep your skin firm longer, antioxidants protect these elastin fibres from free radical damage, which can cause early breakdown. This combined action helps maintain a youthful, resilient complexion.

Anti-Wrinkle

Anti-wrinkle products work to smooth out fine lines and wrinkles by boosting collagen and elastin, essential proteins that keep your skin glowing. Collagen helps reduce wrinkle depth, while elastin shortens their length. Keeping your skin hydrated is crucial, as dehydration can make wrinkles more noticeable. For smooth, bouncy skin, ensure you stay well-hydrated and use products that promote collagen and elastin production.

Microbiome Balancing

Microbiome Balancing involves maintaining a healthy balance of microorganisms (bacteria, fungi, viruses) that live on your skin. Your skin's microbiome is crucial for protecting against pathogens, regulating pH, maintaining a healthy barrier, and ensuring optimal hydration. A balanced microbiome leads to clearer, healthier skin that’s more resilient to irritation and inflammation. Probiotics, prebiotics, and postbiotics are key ingredients that support a healthy microbiome. Probiotics introduce beneficial bacteria, prebiotics fuel the growth of good bacteria and help balance pH, and postbiotics enhance hydration and strengthen the skin barrier. This combination helps your skin stay healthy and vibrant.

Active Ingredients

Antioxidant Tripeptide

Antioxidant Tripeptide is a synthetic peptide with DNA protecting and repairing properties. Its antioxidant capabilities offer photo-protection, maintaining a healthy DNA structure and ensuring effective cell regeneration. Additionally, it can identify damaged DNA strands and initiate the natural repair process. Its unique ability to protect cells form internal and external factors make it a potent anti-ageing active.

Rhamnose

Rhamnose is a protective sugar obtained by a bacterial fermentation. It soothes irritated skin after exposure to UV, pollution or harsh ingredients. Rhamnose limits cell message propagation, acting as a decoy to reduce inflammation and protecting cells from further damage.

Cranberry Extract

Cranberry Extract is naturally rich in Flavonoids and Vitamins A, C & E all of which have strong antioxidant properties. This antioxidant powerhouse shields the skin cells from harmful free radicals, maintaining a healthy and youthful skin.

Complex based on Elderflower, Chestnut wood & Myrobalan Leaf Extract

A complex based on Elderflower, Chestnut Wood & Myrobalan Leaf Extract is ultra-rich in polyphenols and flavonoids. These ingredients provide strong antioxidant properties, protecting the skin cells from premature ageing whilst boosting microcirculation. Additionally, the complex helps to tone and firm the skin.

Skin-Protective Sugars

Skin-Protective Sugars are obtained through a fermentation process. They support a healthy and balanced skin microbiome, enhancing the skin's defence mechanisms against environmental aggressors and pathogens that can cause skin irritation.

Poly-Hydroxy Acids

Poly-Hydroxy Acids are a chemical exfoliant which exfoliate the top layers of the skin. However unlike AHAs & BHAs, they consist of larger molecules so they tend to sit on the surface of the skin for longer and penetrate slowly. Therefore, they are particularly good for more sensitive skins. As well as sloughing off dead skin cells, revealing a smoother, clearer and brighter complexion; this acid is also a fantastic hydrator.

Beta-Hydroxy Acids

Beta Hydroxy Acid is a chemical exfoliant which penetrates deeply into pores to dissolve debris and dead skin cells. Because BHAs are oil-soluble, anti-bacterial & anti-inflammatory, they are particularly adept at treating active, inflamed and infected acne; even cystic acne. Also known as Salicylic Acid, this powerful ingredient is great at sebum-regulating the skin, reducing pores, lightening hyperpigmentation, fighting bacteria and easing inflammation.

Walnut Extract

Walnut Extract counteracts skin ageing by stimulating fibroblast activity and inhibiting elastase. Meaning that it prevents the natural elastin in our skin from degrading, promoting a more elastic and smoother skin, whilst reducing fine lines & wrinkles and promoting a more toned skin. This ingredient also has powerful antioxidant properties which prevents cells from oxidative stress.

Prickly Pear Cactus Extract

Prickly Pear Cactus Extract has strong water retention capabilities which have powerful nourishing benefits and therefore are extremely effective at combatting dry skin. Moreover, its piscidic acid content is adept at protecting the skin from oxidative stress, preventing premature cutaneous ageing. Lastly, it contains soothing benefits as it blocks stress markers in the skins' sensory nerve cells, which calms the skin.
