The Benefits

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.

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.

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.

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.

Plumping

Skin plumping involves using active ingredients to boost the production of key structural components like collagen, the dermal-epidermal junction, and glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), giving your skin more volume and density. Collagen provides structural support and firmness, while the dermal-epidermal junction, a thin connective layer, ensures smooth, wrinkle-free skin by facilitating cell communication. GAGs, like hyaluronic acid, keep your skin hydrated and plump from within. By stimulating these components, active ingredients help restore your skin's plumpness and radiance.

Anti-Pigmentation

Dealing with pigmentation means targeting melanin overproduction to reduce dark spots and prevent new ones. Melanin production can be triggered by UV exposure, pollution, hormonal changes (like during pregnancy), and inflammation (from acne or cuts). This excess pigment is then transferred to surrounding cells in epidermis called keratinocytes, which then moves to the skin's surface, causing visible dark spots.

To treat hyperpigmentation, a personalised and consistent approach is needed. Our anti-pigmentation products include lightening agents to block tyrosinase (the enzyme that creates melanin), antioxidants to fight free radicals, and ingredients to speed up skin cell turnover, removing pigmented cells. Using broad-spectrum sun protection is crucial to prevent new pigmentation during treatment.

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.

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.

Enzymatic Exfoliation

Enzymatic exfoliation uses natural fruit enzymes like papain (from papaya) and bromelain (from pineapple) to gently break down dead skin cells on the surface, making it perfect for sensitive skin. Unlike chemical exfoliation, which uses acids like AHAs and BHAs to dissolve bonds between cells for deeper exfoliation, enzymatic exfoliation is milder. It promotes smoother, brighter skin without the risk of irritation, giving you a gentle yet effective way to reveal your natural radiance.

Active Ingredients

Gluconolactone

Gluconolactone is a type of Polyhydroxy Acid (PHA), known for its larger molecular size compared to AHAs and BHAs. This characteristic enables it to penetrate the skin more gently, making it suitable for sensitive skin types. PHAs like Gluconolactone offer dual benefits: they exfoliate while also serving as humectants and antioxidants. Humectants are substances that attract and retain moisture from the environment or deeper layers of the skin, helping to hydrate the skin effectively. This moisturising effect, coupled with its antioxidant properties, helps improve skin hydration, protect against free radicals, and promote a brighter, clearer, and more youthful skin appearance.

Tranexamic Acid

Tranexamic Acid is a powerful active ingredient known for its anti-pigmentation and skin brightening effects. It works by inhibiting tyrosinase, an enzyme crucial for melanin (pigmentation) production, and subsequently blocks the transfer of pigment to the surrounding cells in the upper layers, effectively preventing the formation of dark spots. Additionally, Tranexamic Acid exhibits anti-inflammatory properties, which prevents post-inflammatory pigmentation and post-blemish marks.

Venn's 17 Amino Acid Complex

Venn's Amino Acid Complex combines 17 different Amino Acids, featuring Proline, Glycine & Lysine that aid the synthesis, repair and regeneration of collagen alongside Tyrosine and Phenylalanine that help to regulate melanin (pigment) production. The result is a plumper, smoother and more toned skin; a clearer and depigmented skin; and a brighter and more even complexion.

Bakuchiol

Bakuchiol is a clinically proven, natural alternative to retinol, studies have demonstrated that Bakuchiol offers retinol-like benefits such as boosting collagen production, brightening and promoting skin cell renewal, resulting in firmer, smoother, and more event toned complexion. Unlike retinol, Bakuchiol is non-irritating and non-photo-sensitising, thus safe to use every day, morning and evening, without the usual side effects of retinol. Moreover, Bakuchiol provides anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anti-bacterial properties that help soothe, protect, and minimise blemishes.

Hydrolyzed Collagen

Hydrolyzed Collagen refers to collagen that has been broken down by enzymatic hydrolysis into amino acids and smaller peptides for deeper and better absorption. Amino Acids and Peptides assist in skin repair processes and encourage collagen synthesis resulting in firmer and more resilient skin. Hydrolyzed Collagen also act as a potent humectant, attracting and retaining water in the skin for hydrated, plump complexion.

Soluble Collagen

Soluble Collagen is a vegan Collagen synthesised using Yeast fermentation technology. This innovative process produces Collagen that closely mimics human type-3 Collagen, ensuring exceptional compatibility with human skin. Its molecular structure allows for efficient absorption, delivering skin firming and plumping results.

Centella Asiatica

Centella Asiatica is a powerful antioxidant which has immense anti-inflammatory, soothing and wound-healing benefits. Rich in chlorophyll, it is also extremely proficient at reducing redness. Also known as "Tiger Grass" as tigers were known to roll in it after having been wounded.

Vitamin B3 (Niacinamide)

Vitamin B3 also known as Niacinamide, is versatile and highly effective ingredient with many benefits. It helps to strengthen skin barrier function and increase water retention by increasing natural ceramide production. It's anti-inflammatory and sebum regulating properties soothe, repair and balance irritated, weakened and acne prone skins. Niacinamide is also a potent antioxidant with protective and brightening properties helping to restore skin's natural glow.

Papain and Bromelain Enzymes

Papain and Bromelain Enzymes are proteolytic enzymes derived from papaya and pineapple. They act as gentle exfoliants by breaking down proteins that bind dead skin cells to the surface, revealing brighter, smoother skin underneath. This enzymatic exfoliation is milder than chemical or physical exfoliation, making it suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin. Additionally, their anti-inflammatory properties help to reduce redness and promote a more even-toned complexion.

Xylitol

Xylitol is a naturally occurring sugar alcohol found in various fruits and vegetables. Xylitol acts as a humectant (hydrator) enhancing the skin's ability to attract and retain hydration from its surroundings. It also supports the production of Natural Moisturising Factors (NMFs), to provide long-lasting hydration, plumpness and softness.

Glutathione

Glutathione is a natural antioxidant found in the skin, and plays a crucial role in protecting cells against environmental aggressors. In skincare, it functions as a potent brightening and anti-pigmentation agent by inhibiting tyrosinase, the enzyme involved in melanin pigment) synthesis. This action helps to promote a more even complexion and leaves the skin visibly healthier and radiant.
