Alpha-Hydroxy Acid for Fine lines & Pigmentation (AHAs)

Nowadays, many skincare products containing Alpha-Hydroxy Acids (Glycolic, Lactic, Tartaric, and Citric Acids, etc.) have become increasingly demanding in recent years. Creams and lotions with Alpha-Hydroxy Acids may help with fine lines, irregular pigmentation and age spots, and may help shrink enlarged pores. There are few Side effects associated with Alpha-hydroxy Acids include mild irritation and sun sensitivity. To avoid burning, sunscreen with Alpha-Hydroxy Acid should be applied in the morning. To help prevent skin irritation, start with a product with a maximum concentration of 10% to 15% AHA. To allow your skin to get used to Alpha-hydroxy Acid, you should only initially apply the skin care product every other day, gradually working up to the daily application.

Beta-Hydroxy Acid For Removing Dead Skin (Salicylic Acid)

Salicylic Acid removes dead skin and can improve the texture and colour of sun-damaged skin. It penetrates oil-laden hair follicle openings and, as a result, it also helps in acne problems. There are many skin care products available with us that contain Salicylic acid. Some are available over-the-counter, and others need a doctor’s prescription. Studies have shown that salicylic acid is less irritating than skincare products containing Alpha-Hydroxy Acids while providing a similar improvement in skin texture and colour.

Hydroquinone for Skin lightening (Hyperpigmentation)

Many skincare products containing Hydroquinone are often called bleaching creams or lightening agents. These skincare products are used to lighten hyperpigmentation, such as age spots and dark spots related to pregnancy or hormone therapy (Melasma or Chloasma). Over-the-counter skincare products such as our various fade cream contain Hydroquinone. Intense concentration of Hydroquinone can also damage your skin and cause skin burn, So if you are allergic to Hydroquinones, you may benefit from the use of products containing kojic acid instead.

Kojic Acid for Pigmentation

Kojic Acid is also is a remedy for the treatment of pigment problems and age spots. Found in 1989, kojic Acid works similarly to Hydroquinone, Kojic Acid is derived from a fungus, and studies have shown that it is useful as a lightening agent, slowing production of melanin (brown pigment) which causes dark or brown skin.

Retinol for Anti-Aging

Retinol is derived from vitamin A and is found in many over-the-counter “anti-ageing” skincare products. Tretinoin, which is the active ingredient in prescription Retin-A and Renova creams, is a stronger version of retinol. Don’t use a higher concentration of Retinol in your skincare product because sometimes skin is too sensitive to use Retin-A. Over-The-Counter retinol is an excellent alternative. Here’s why skin responds to skin care products with retinol: vitamin A has a molecular structure that’s small enough to get into the lower layers of skin, where it finds collagen and elastin. Retinol is proven to improve mottled pigmentation, fine lines and wrinkles, skin texture, skin tone and colour, and your skin’s hydration levels. Retinyl palmitate is another ingredient related to retinol but is less potent.

L-Ascorbic Acid ( Vitamin C)

This is the only form of vitamin C that you should look for in your skincare products (Vitamin C serum ) There are many skincare products in the market today that boost vitamin C derivatives as an ingredient (Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate or Ascorbyl Palmitate, for example), but L-ascorbic acid is the only useful form of vitamin C in skincare products. With age and sun exposure, collagen synthesis in the skin decreases, leading to wrinkles. Vitamin C is the only antioxidant proven to stimulate the synthesis of collagen, minimizing fine lines, scars, and wrinkles.

Hyaluronic Acid

Our many skin care products containing this substance are often used with vitamin C products to assist in effective penetration. Hyaluronic Acid (also known as Glycosaminoglycan) is commonly used for its ability to “reverse” or stop ageing. Nowadays, you might have heard of Hyaluronic Acid as the “key to the fountain of youth.” This is because the substance occurs naturally (and quite abundantly) in humans and animals, and is found in young skin, other tissues, and joint fluid. Hyaluronic Acid is a component of the body’s connective tissues and is known to cushion and lubricate. As you age, however, the forces of nature destroy Hyaluronic Acid. Diet and smoking can also affect your body’s level of Hyaluronic Acid over time. Our third-party skincare products with Hyaluronic Acid are most frequently used to treat wrinkled skin and other skin related issues.

Copper Peptide for Skin Regeneration

We use copper peptide in our skincare products because it’s most effective in skin regeneration, even though it’s only been on the market since 1997. Here’s why: Studies have shown that copper peptide promotes collagen and elastin production, acts as an antioxidant, and promotes the production of glycosaminoglycans (think Hyaluronic acid, as an example). Studies have also shown that copper-dependent enzymes increase the benefits of the body’s natural tissue-building processes. The substance helps to firm, smooth, and soften skin, doing it in less time than most other anti-ageing skincare products. Clinical studies have found that copper peptides also remove damaged collagen and elastin from the skin and scar tissue because they activate the skin’s system responsible for those functions.

Alpha-Lipoic Acid Miracle for Anti-Aging

You may have heard of Alpha-Lipoic Acid as “the miracle in a tube” for its Anti-Aging Effects. It’s a newer, ultra-potent antioxidant that helps fight future skin damage and helps repair past damage. Alpha-lipoic Acid has been referred to as a “universal antioxidant” because it’s soluble in both water and oil, which permits its entrance to all parts of the cell. Due to this quality, it is believed that alpha-lipoic acid can provide the highest protection against damaging free radicals when compared with other antioxidants. Alpha-lipoic Acid reduces the fine lines, gives skin a healthy glow, and boosts levels of other antioxidants, such as vitamin C.

DMAE (Dimethylaminoethanol) for Fine Lines Reduction 

If you’ve heard of fish referred to as brain food, you can thank DMAE. This substance is naturally produced in the brain, but DMAE is also present in anchovies, salmon, and sardines. DMAE boosts the production of acetylcholine, which is essential for proper mental functions. DMAE in skin care products shows remarkable effects when applied topically to the skin, resulting in the reduction of fine lines and wrinkles.
