Key ingredients

Soothing antiaging ingredient that gives cells energy. Help prevent recurrence of dark spots and unwanted skin pigment.

Glycerin (Glycerol) is the best natural moisturizing ingredient to hydrate skin quickly. May give products a sticky feel.

Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract
Green tea extract. Strong antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, sun protective.

Attracts water, giving cells and skin volume. Plays a key role in cell signals and other vital processes. It cushions the skin, providing resilience and firmness. This moisturizing humectant temporarily plumps fine lines and wrinkles. HA makes skin feel dewy and look radiant and glowing. Great for oily skin because it feels lightweight and non-greasy on the skin. Safe for all skin types. HA helps other skincare products get into the skin. This antiaging and hydrating ingredient can radically alter how your skin routine works by affecting penetration and absorption of other ingredients- so make sure you use it in the correct step of your skin care routine.
