Peptides

Peptides are chains of amino acids that are the building blocks of proteins in the skin. One important protein in our skin is collagen. Collagen gives skin its thickness and suppleness. When collagen breaks down in the skin (from age and environmental factors like the sun and stress), wrinkles form. More specifically, collagen is made of three polypeptide chains, so adding peptides can stimulate your skin to make collagen. More collagen can lead to firmer, younger-looking skin.

Retinol

The 'Gold Standard' in skin care, Retinoids reduce fine lines and wrinkles by increasing the production of collagen. They also stimulate the production of new blood vessels in the skin, which improves skin colour. Additional benefits include fading age spots and softening rough patches of skin. Known for their influence on acne and collagen production, there is "strong scientific evidence" behind Retinoids and their impact on the skin.

Hyaluronic Acid

Hyaluronic acid is a vital natural substance that’s a youth-supporting part of skin. Hyaluronic acid works to keep every aspect of skin stable, safeguarded, and constantly renewed. It also has the capacity to attract and hold vast amounts of moisture. One of the qualities of youthful skin is its ability to hold water and retain a balanced amount of moisture. As we age, skin loses the ability to maintain this vital, plumping moisture as well as it once did. The result is visible loss of firmness, pliability, and diminished appearance of plumpness and suppleness.

Vitamin C

The antioxidant properties of vitamin C (ascorbic acid) and its role in collagen synthesis make vitamin C a vital molecule for skin health. The reason it's so popular? It is a powerful antioxidant and is one of the best skin-brightening tools around.​Vitamin C has the anti-ageing effect, it's a good all-rounder for signs of ageing … as well as protecting against future ageing. It works by soaking up the free radicals on your skin, produced from things like UV rays and pollution, before they cause damage. That damage can build up to cause signs of premature ageing.​There are also studies showing that vitamin C can reduce certain types of hyperpigmentation

Jojoba Oil Rich in Vitamin E

Jojoba Oil is rich in Vitamin E and has a very close chemical composition to the skins sebum, making it suitable for all skin types especially skin that is prone to outbreaks and is gentle oil that is moisturising and hydrating with an excellent softening effect, adding a beautiful healthy glow.

Niacinamide
