Why it’s different
Self-Stabilizing Antioxidants
L-Ascorbic Acid is a highly potent form of vitamin C, which is known to quickly lose efficacy when exposed to oxygen. The additions of vitamin E and ferulic acid to this formula not only increases its antioxidant content load, but also creates a self-stabilizing environment to preserve effectiveness, while working synergistically with vitamins B3 and B5 to provide a boost in antioxidant performance.
Dual-action Moisture
Hyaluronic acid, glycerin, and sodium PCA are natural humectants that continuously attract moisture to the skin. Simultaneously, vitamin E nourishes and protects the lipid barrier by keeping the moisture from escaping, thereby ensuring that hydration stays at optimum levels.
Unrivaled Efficacy
Each ingredient is used in its most effective form, and was specifically selected for its ability to affect real results on the skin.
Key Benefits
- Antioxidants defend against free radical damage
- Increases moisture
- Helps skin appear brighter
- Improves elasticity
Skin Concerns
- Environmentally Induced Skin Sensitivity
- Photo-damage
- Premature Aging
- Hyperpigmentation
- Skin Dehydration
How It Works
Antioxidants are very valuable weapons in the fight against aging. They effectively disarm environmental pollutants such as smog, smoke, and even light pollution, which could be harmful. Free radicals are unstable molecules that contain unpaired electrons. In this highly reactive state, they search their environment, looking to scavenge replacement electrons. This creates a domino effect, as free radicals steal electrons from healthy cells, creating more free radicals. When cells come in contact with damaged oxygen molecules, collagen begins to break down, and wrinkles and lines are formed. Antioxidants act as the first line of defense by neutralizing free radicals.
Key Ingredients
Ferulic Acid
A plant-based antioxidant found in the cell walls of grains, ferulic acid effectively neutralizes free radicals that could otherwise cause premature aging. It also stabilizes vitamin C and enhances the nourishing benefits of vitamin E.
Vitamin C (L-Ascorbic Acid)
Vitamin C in its most efficacious form, L-Ascorbic acid is a powerful antioxidant. It is known for its ability to brighten the appearance of hyperpigmentation and effectively defend from oxidative stress.
Vitamin E (Tocopherol)
A hydrophobic molecule, meaning a molecule that is not water soluble, Tocopherol restores hydration by nourishing the lipid barrier and preventing the evaporation of existing moisture, known as transepidermal water loss, or TEWL. It also acts as an antioxidant and is highlighted by its stabilizing abilities in this formula.
Vitamin B3 (Niacinamide)
Also known as vitamin B3, niacinamide can improve the appearance of enlarged pores, brighten dull skin, as well as defend against environmental toxins. Niacinamide also has a hydrophilic molecular structure, meaning it attracts water from its environment.
Vitamin B5 (Panthenol)
This form of Provitamin B5 is a hydrophilic, or water absorbing, humectant and conditioner that works to pull in and bind moisture to the skin.
Hyaluronic Acid (Sodium Hyaluronate)
Known for its ability to hold up to 1000 times its weight in water, Hyaluronic Acid is a humectant that draws moisture into the skin.
Sodium PCA
Sodium PCA is a naturally occurring humectant that is a derivative of amino acids. It is known to be hygroscopic, or able to absorb water from the air, making it an excellent hydrating ingredient.
Glycerin
Glycerin is a humectant that works by balancing moisture levels, helping skin feel smoother and softer
