Key Ingredients:
- Gluconolactone: Gluconolactone is composed of multiple water-attracting hydroxyl groups, allowing the skin to become more moisturized and hydrated. It's capable of chelating metals and scavenging free radicals, protecting the skin from UV radiation and other infections or diseases. Signs of aging have been known to significantly reduce with this ingredient, improving firmness in the skin while reducing fine lines, wrinkles, roughness, and hyperpigmentation. It can, also, improve rosacea in patients partially due to its gentleness on sensitive skin.
- Hamamelis Virginiana Leaf Extract: Witch hazel extract is distilled from the twigs and bark of the small, deciduous Witch Hazel tree native to eastern North America. Native Americans first recognized that this odorless, clear liquid has anti-inflammatory and astringent properties. The extract can help shrink swollen tissue and tighten pores, making this ingredient ideal to gently heal acne and blemishes.
- Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract: Green tea extract is derived from the leaves of a wild herbaceous shrub grown in East Asia. The tinted green liquid is full of antioxidants that help to detoxify the skin to rid the body of free radicals. This makes the ingredient highly effective at reducing signs of aging, wrinkles, and sagging skin. The catechins found in green tea extract act as a very strong antioxidant that can even help lower the risk of cancer and heart disease.
- Glycyrrhiza Glabra Root Extract: Derived from the glycyrrhiza glabra plant, licorice has long been prized in Japan due to its medicinal properties and health benefits. Scientists more recently discovered that licorice root extract is an emulsifier, which allows both water and oil-based ingredients to mix effectively. Licorice root extract is a natural tyrosinase inhibitor. It has a component called glabridin that plays a vital role in inhibiting tyrosinase activity and therefore provides skin brightening effects. It can also reduce pigmentation induced by UVB, brighten the skin, calm inflammation, and soften the skin.
- Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Seed Extract: possesses antimicrobial, antioxidant and antibacterial properties as well as Vitamin C & Vitamin E. This nutrient dense ingredient helps to protect the skin from harmful irritants such as UV light, pollution, sun damage, smoke, and free radicals. Grape Seed Extract on its own has many anti-aging properties to help fight the battle against fine lines and wrinkles. The high concentration of Vitamin C in Grape Seed Extract helps hydrate your skin while smoothing out wrinkled skin. Grape Seed Extract works great on all skin types and is a great addition to any skin care routine.
Suggested Use: Use 1 to 3 times daily on affected areas. Work into the lather with fingertips. Rinse off thoroughly.
