• Proprietary compound optimizes and reinforces collagen synthesis and moisture absorption in the skin

 

• Hyaluronic Acid (Botanically Derived) 11.0%
• Humectant; demonstrates hydrophilic properties – attracts and binds up to 1800 times its molecular weight in water

 

• Saccharum Officinarum (Sugar Cane) Extract (Source of Glycolic Acid) 7.0% Desquamation agent that encourages exfoliation of stratum corneum
• Vaccinium Myrtillus (Bilberry) Fruit/Leaf Extract (Source of Lactic Acid) 5.7% Desquamation agent with moisturizing properties; enhances exfoliation of the stratum corneum without dehydrating the skin

 

• Ascophyllum Nodosum Extract (Norwegian Kelp Extract) 5.0%
• Interrupts communication between melanocyte and keratinocyte and increases controlled exfoliation, helping to remove pigmented areas

 

• Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate (Vitamin C) 5.0%
• A lipid soluble analogue of L-Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C). Potent antioxidant and free radical scavenger. Lightens by inhibiting melanin synthesis, which is necessary for healthy collagen synthesis. Inhibits MMP enzymes

 

• Alpha-Arbutin 2.0%
• Inhibits tyrosinase enzymes that produce melanin, thereby controlling hyperpigmentation

 

• Polyporus Umbellatus (Mushroom) Extract (Source of Kojic Acid) 1.0%
