Architect is an intensive serum emulsion for all skin types prone to imperfections with visible UV damage (hyperpigmentation, age spots and acne scarring). It has a gentle, light and non-oily texture that easily easily absorbs into the skin leaving it feeling silky smooth and hydrated.
The Architect Serum has anti-inflammatory and hydrating ingredients such as ectoin, green tea, panthenol, allantoin, caffeine and resveratrol. This combination of ingredients strengthen the efficacy of bakuchiol without irritation and constantly soothes and replenishes the skin, making the skin barrier healthy and strong.
✨ alcohol-free, fragrance & essential oil-free.
KEY INGREDIENTS
Ectoin®: the powerful active for long-term hydration, reducing wrinkles and fine lines, and supporting your skin's barrier repair. Ectoin has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, pollution& light protecting, skin hydrating, barrier repairing as well as anti-aging properties.
Bakuchiol: a plant-derived ingredient that tackles signs of ageing. It has soothing properties that help comfort the skin and minimise sensitivity and reactivity. It is also a potent antioxidant and helps fight signs of ageing, such as fine lines and loss of firmness by targeting free radicals.
Bakuchiol has similar results to retinol with consistent use, is less irritating and can be used in pregnant and lactating women.
How does 1% bakuchiol affect the skin during 3 month period?
- has antimicrobial effects (targeting S.auerus and P.acnes)
- has strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects
- normalises sebum production by diminishing synthesis of 5-alpha reductase
- reduces hyperpigmentations and brightens the skin
- strengthens protein synthesis of extracellular matrix and epidermis - dermis junction which increases elasticity, tightness and plumpness of the skin
Camellia Sinensis (White Tea): Green tea is one of the most researched natural ingredients with proven antioxidant activity,UV protection, anti-inflammatory properties , anticarcinogenic and antimicrobial benefits. Green tea and white tea both share these properties and they are a great choice for anti-aging and also for skin diseases including rosacea, acne and atopic dermatitis.
Lactic acid: an AHA that is the second most researched and studied AHA after glycolic acid. It removes dead skin cells from the skin and pores to reveal a healthy and fresh glow while keeping the skin moisturised.
How to use
Apply to cleansed skin once a day. When introducing Architect, apply it conservatively and cautiously, especially if you are already using strong actives. If tolerated, over time you can start using this product twice daily. If you have hyper-reactive or sensitive skin, use it only once daily and follow up with soothing products.
