Advanced Blemish Serum 

 

Ingredients:

Polyoxyethylene-Polyoxypropylene 

 

R3A- proprietary ingredient- Why R3A is unique?

 

R3A enables us to use heat to cause "solid dispersion" of the active ingredient (non-water soluble ingredient).  This breaks the active ingredient down to its individual molecules.  This gives us the greatest surface area and the smallest molecule size.

 

How R3A works in the skin?

 

Due to the fact that we now have the smallest size, the active ingredient can now go into the dermis.  R3A is peculiar, in that it is a liquid at room-temperature and forms into a gel at body temperature. So, when the R3A enters the skin as a liquid, it quickly forms a gel and becomes a topical filler (we believe the world's first).

 

Primary benefits of R3A?

 

1. Small size allows to penetrate the size.

2. Active ingredient gets to where it needs to be inside the skin.

3. Reverse thermal hydrogel.  Goes in as a liquid and forms a gel.

Topical filler.

 

Levulinic Acid:

Levulinic Acid conditions and softens skin. It acts as a mild preservative with good antibacterial properties without altering the structure and pH of other ingredients in the product.

Propylene Glycol: 

1. Attracts water: At low concentrations, propylene glycol acts like a humectant, which means it binds water and pulls in hydration to the outer skin layer. When used in cosmetic products, it helps give the skin a hydrated, dewy appearance.

2. Boosts other ingredients: Because of its binding properties, propylene glycol can enhance the delivery of other active ingredients into the skin.

3. Lightly moisturizes: As a humectant, it also offers moisturizing benefits and smoothes the skin with a light, non-sticky feel.

4. Addresses visible signs of aging: The humectant property also makes it a useful ingredient for dry or aged skin. "As we age, our skin loses a component called Natural Moisturizing Factor (NMF) and subsequently dries out, which emphasizes wrinkles and contributes to flaking and roughness,Propylene glycol helps bind water from the environment, helping to counter the water loss that accompanies aging.

5. Enhances penetration: It helps the active ingredients of cosmetics penetrate through the skin, which in turn makes them more effective.

6. Prevents water loss: As an emollient, propylene glycol forms a protective film on the skin that prevents water loss and helps to smooth and soften skin. 

7. Is safe for acne-prone skin: Because it’s not oily,  it’s also ideal for those with acne.

8. Helps lessen the appearance of spots over time: Due to its moisturizing properties, propylene glycol nourishes the skin, helping to lessen the appearance of marks and acne spots.

 

Diazolidinyl Urea:

Diazolidinyl urea is an ingredient used in skincare and cosmetic products to help ensure the safety and longevity of the product. 

Diazolidinyl urea is a preservative, preventing the growth of bacteria, protecting your products from spoilage. Diazolidinyl urea is a water-soluable preservative that is considered to be safe at concentrations up to 0.5%.

 

Iodopropynyl Butylcarbamate:

IPBC is a preservative that helps prevent mold, bacteria, and other germs from spreading in creams, lotions, and other products.

Hyaluronic Acid

 

Ascorbic Acid: 

Topical vitamin C is a science-backed, dermatologist-favorite ingredient that may help slow early skin aging, prevent sun damage, and improve the appearance of wrinkles, dark spots, and acne. Vitamin C is an antioxidant, meaning it fights harmful free radicals (toxins) that come in contact with your skin from external sources like air pollution, or from inside the body as a result of normal processes like your metabolism. Free radicals can damage the skin, and applying topical vitamin C can combat free radicals and may improve the skin’s overall appearance.
