A beta hydroxy acid that penetrates oil to exfoliate inside pores, making it exceptionally effective for acne-prone and oily skin. Well-researched anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties help clear congested pores while reducing acne lesions and improving skin texture.
Ceramides
(Ceramide NG / Ceramide NP) Essential lipids that make up 40–50% of the skin's barrier lipid matrix, crucial for maintaining barrier function and preventing moisture loss. Clinical studies show ceramides help repair damaged barriers, reduce sensitivity, and improve overall skin health and hydration.
Myristoyl Tripeptide-4
A short-chain lipopeptide that enhances skin penetration while targeting specific cellular processes for skin improvement. Designed to support skin structure, firmness, and texture.
Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1
Stimulates collagen and glycosaminoglycan synthesis, promoting skin repair and reducing signs of aging. In a study with 23 women, application led to a statistically significant increase in skin thickness of approximately 4%.
Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7
Reduces secretion of interleukin-6 (IL-6), decreasing inflammation and preventing collagen degradation. Shown to provide significant improvement in appearance of wrinkle depth, skin density, and elasticity.
Squalane
A stable, lightweight emollient that mimics skin's natural squalene, providing excellent moisturization without greasiness. Highly compatible with all skin types, it absorbs quickly while supporting barrier function and skin suppleness.
