Key Ingredients
Gluconolactone
- A Polyhydroxy Acid (PHA) that works on the surface of the skin dissolving the glue that holds dead skin cells together to reveal the fresher skin beneath
- Increases skin cell turnover and helps bring pimples and ingrown hairs to the surface faster
- New generation of exfoliants that is unique due to its large molecule. This allows it to work on the skin's superficial layer with minimal penetration and irritation
- It is a gentle exfoliant ideal for sensitive skin
Salicylic Acid
- A Beta Hydroxy Acid (BHA) that is oil-soluble. As a result can readily penetrate through the lipid layers between skin cells and inside pimples
- Works deep inside the pimple to dissolve trapped dead skin cells and excess sebum that lead to breakouts
- Contains anti-inflammatory properties that help red inflamed pimples go away faster
- Helps clean pores and speeds up removal of the dead skin cells from the top layer of the skin to prevent recurrence
Mandelic Acid
- An Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) that removes the top layer of dead skin cells and stimulate the production of new cells
- Increases the skin cell turnover to help bring pimples and ingrown hairs to the surface faster
- One of the largest molecules in the AHA family with minimal penetration and irritation ideal for sensitive skin
- Has antibacterial activity which helps reduce the appearance of skin blemishes
Lactic Acid
- Part of our skin's natural moisturising factor (NMF) which attracts and retains water on the skin to reduce dehydration
- An Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) that speeds up desquamation which is the natural process of shedding dead skin cells. It gently breaks the bonds that hold dead, dry and scaly skin cells on the surface
- A powerful humectant to increase skin hydration. Perfect for dry and sensitive skin
- Forms a film on the skin to reduce transepidermal water loss (TEWL) and skin dryness
- Helps soften and smooth the skin and improve its overall texture ideal for rough or scaly skin
Allantoin
- Powerful Humectant that increases water content of the extracellular matrix and the hydration levels of the skin
- Due to anti-inflammatory, anti-irritant and soothing action helps to prevent damage to the skin cells
- Promotes new cell growth and skin rejuvenation
- Speeds up skin cell turnover by increasing and enhancing the desquamation of upper layers of dead skin cells hence improving skin smoothness
Propanediol
- A humectant with skin-friendly performance that offers soothing and enhanced moisturisation ideal for sensitive skin
- Absorbs and retains moisture in the air nearby, enhances water absorption in the outer layer of skin and increases skin hydration
- Attracts water from deeper layers of skin to the outer skin layers in dry environments
- Creates a film on the surface of skin to reduce transepidermal water loss (TEWL) to minimise moisture loss
Sodium Lactate
- Part of our skin's natural moisturising factor (NMF) which attracts and retains water on the skin to reduce dehydration
- Forms a film on the skin to reduce transepidermal water loss (TEWL) and skin dryness
