The Benefits

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.

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.

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.

Sebum Regulating (Mattifying)

Sebum regulation involves normalising oil production in your sebaceous glands to reduce shine, oiliness, and breakouts, restoring your skin's natural balance. Overactive sebaceous glands can be triggered by internal factors like genetics, hormonal changes, and stress, as well as external factors such as climate, pollution, and diet. Excessive sebum production can lead to enlarged pores, acne, and an oily, shiny appearance. Effective sebum regulation means using skincare products that balance oil levels without over-drying your skin, helping you achieve a clearer, more matte complexion.

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.

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.

Hydrating

Hydration is all about the water content in your skin that keeps it supple and healthy. Humectants, ingredients with water-binding properties, deliver this hydration by attracting water molecules from the atmosphere. For the best results, apply hydrating serums right after a shower. Humectants not only replenish your skin's hydration but also enhance its water retention, creating a long-lasting hydration reservoir. Adding humectants like hyaluronic acid to your routine will restore your skin's healthy glow, minimize fine lines, and provide a plumping effect.

Antioxidant

Antioxidant Protection shields your skin and preserves its youthful glow. It refers to a defence system that protects against harmful molecules and keeps your complexion healthy and radiant. Free radicals, those incredibly reactive molecules, come from everyday sources like sunlight, diet, smoking, and pollution. They attack healthy cells, accelerating skin ageing, causing wrinkles, loss of firmness, pigmentation, and dullness.

Incorporating antioxidants, such as vitamins C and E, into your skincare routine creates a protective shield on your skin. These powerful ingredients neutralise free radicals, preventing them from causing damage. The result is skin that stays youthful, firm, and luminous.

Active Ingredients

Alpha-Hydroxy Acids

Alpha-Hydroxy Acids are a chemical exfoliant which exfoliate the top layers of the skin, offering a variety of benefits. They are mostly derived from plant-based sources. Some of the most common AHAs are Glycolic Acid, Lactic Acid, Citric Acid and Malic Acid. Depending on the type of AHA, they can reduce dullness, even skin tone, reduce pigmentation, tighten pores, stimulate collagen production, hydrate the skin and offer antioxidant protection. AHAs are generally less irritating and drying to the skin as they are water-soluble.

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.

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.

Cider Vinegar

Cider Vinegar is extracted from fermented apples and contains high concentrations of fruits acids. Particularly potent in Acetic Acid, Citric Acid and Malic Acid; Cider Vinegar contains powerful exfoliating, purifying and renewing properties. High in Polyphenols, this ingredient also has significant antioxidant effects, combatting damageing photo-induced free-radicals.

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.

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.

Horsetail

Horsetail is a herbaceous plant rich in actives that help to stimulate key components within the dermis: Collagen, Elastin & Glycosaminoglycans such as Hyaluronic Acid. The stimulation of these components improves the skin's firmness, tone and hydration. Horsetail extract is also rich in antioxidants and boasts healing properties, ensuring the skin is protected against environmental aggressors and premature cell ageing.

Blue Agave Yeast Extract

Blue Agave Yeast Extract provides an intense plumping effect by stimulating the natural Hyaluronic Acid production in the dermis.

Keratolytic Enzyme

Keratolytic Enzymes mimic the activity of Cathepsin D, a naturally occurring enzyme in our skin responsible for breaking down intercellular proteins, allowing the skin cells to shed away effortlessly. Keratolytic Enzymes have a great affinity with the skin, which allows them to exfoliate the skin without irritation.
