Retinol is a well known, proven anti-aging and anti-acne skincare ingredient. To date, the use and effectiveness of topical retinol has been restricted by formulation stability and skin irritability problems. Retinyl palmitate, in microemulsion formulation, overcomes these stability and irritation problems to provide effective retinoid antiaging and acne treatments.
Vitamin C is an important multi-functional skincare ingredient that plays a vital role is a number of antiaging and skin health processes. Because it is such an important ingredient with many scientifically proven skincare benefits, Vitamin C should be a necessary component of all antiaging and UV protecting skincare regimes.
Although many cosmeceutical formulations contain Vitamin C and/or Vitamin E, very few of them are actually effective in topical application4. Either the concentration is too low, the formulation stability is compromised or the vitamins fail to penetrate the skin. However, with the development of new nano-encapsulation formulations, topical combinations of Vitamin C and Vitamin E provide synergistically enhanced skincare benefits.
Because of its unique structure and lipophilic nature, LHA has many antiaging skin and acne treating benefits coupled with mild action. LHA treatment can result in dermal thickening, with increases in glycosaminoglycan, hyaluronic acid, collagen, and elastin levels.
Hydroxy acids are naturally occuring organic acids that offer antiaging skin benefits. They can stimulate skin collagen production and exfoliate dead skin to restore a more youthful appearance.
Salicylic Acid has been skincare favourite for many years because of its many antiaging skin benefits and mild action. It provides the same effective hydroxy acid benefits but with higher skin tolerance and less skin irritation than AHAs.
Lactobionic Acid has been described as the new Superacid in skincare. It’s unique structure provides hydroxy acid benefits without irritation, it provides strong humectant, anti-oxidant and skin barrier repair benefits. Our new generation, nano-encapsulation technology is well suited for use with Lactobionic Acid
