KEY INGREDIENTS
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.
Urea: a natural moisturising factor - NMF. NMFs are important components that help the skin to contain water and keep it plump, elastic and hydrated. It also strengthens the skin barrier function. It acts as a mild keratolytic agent (some of its moisturising action is thought to come from urea's ability to break down bonds in the protein called filaggrin and thus freeing up amino acids in the skin), enhances antimicrobial peptide expression and improves skin barrier function.
NMF Complex: Boosts skin hydration. Has components of natural moisturising factors and is part of the skin barrier & increases the level of skin hydration.
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.
How to use
On cleansed and dry skin, apply a few drops of serum and gently spread all over the face, avoiding the eye area. After absorption, wait 10-15 min and follow with day cream or night cream. Do not use in combination with retinol, retinal or other acids at the same time.
Very dry, sensitive skin: Apply 1x a week.
Skin that has used lactic Acid: Apply every 2-3 days.
For greater effect, use 2 layers - apply 1 layer of serum, wait until absorbed, add 2nd layer, wait 10 min and apply cream.
CAUTION!
Do not combine with retinoids, peptides and high concentrations of niacinamide (do not apply directly one on top of the other, but you can in separate routines or on different days).
