BIOMIMETIC POLYSACCHARIDES:
Naturally derived, made up of an assembly of sugars obtained by biotechnology from plant substrates such as corn. It has humectant (water-binding) and soothing properties, Forming a flexible smoothing film on the skin's surface to retain moisture and strengthen the barrier function.
Anti-aging properties by stimulating epidermal renewal and youth proteins sirtuins :1 to fight against aging and restructure the skin architecture
CELLACTIVE®-WHITE:
Acts on all levels of skin pigmentation for a uniform, lightened complexion. Watercress extract and complexed zinc with high bioavailability inhibit tyrosinase, the key enzyme in melanin formation. Vitamin B3 (Niacinamide) and an Essential Cell Boost Factor influence melanin transport. Vitamin B3 inhibits melanosome transfer from melanocytes to keratinocytes. The Essential Cell Boost Factor promotes the formation of cell adhesion proteins, which contribute to the even distribution of pigment in the skin.
PANTHENOL:
Improves skin hydration by attracting water molecules; also has anti-inflammatory benefits that calm and soothe skin.
A perfect hydrating ingredient, also known as provitamin B5, it attracts and retains moisture, increasing skin hydration while decreasing trans epidermal water loss.
Helps to reduce sensitivity-induced redness and supports healing and barrier repair.
RETINAL:
Retinal (also known as retinaldehyde) behaves similarly to the better-known retinol but is much more stable and effective. When the body does not use vitamin A, it is stored within the skin cells as retinyl esters. Once the skin is ready to metabolize vitamin A, these esters are converted to retinol and then to retinaldehyde before ultimately becoming retinoic acid that is utilized by the skin.
That's why all variations of vitamin A, including retinol and retinal, must be converted to retinoic acid before they can take effect. Retinol must be metabolized to retinal and then to retinoic acid, whereas retinal only requires one conversion to retinoic acid. Crucially, this last step is extremely rapid compared to the previous conversions, which is why Retinal can provide such quick results (up to 11 times faster) than retinol. In addition, retinal has a much higher exfoliation rate than retinol to reduce skin roughness and increase dermal thickness, collagen strength, and new collagen fibers.
These benefits can be delivered without the skin irritation effects often accompanying retinoic acid.

SIMMONDSIA CHINENSIS (JOJOBA) SEED OIL:
An emollient extracted from the seeds of a perennial shrub is a rich source of numerous fatty acids and antioxidants. It enhances the skin's restorative properties and provides topical skin-soothing benefits. The texture of Simmondsia Chinensis (jojoba) seed oil is similar to the sebum (oil) human skin produces, which makes it a brilliant ingredient for dry skin. Moisturizing the skin in two ways: Mixed with sebum, it forms a thin, non-greasy, semi-occlusive layer; and it soaks into the skin through pores and hair follicles, then diffuses into the intercellular spaces of the outer layer of the skin to make it soft and supple.
ORGANIC ALMOND OIL:
Helps to retain moisture and is a rich source of skin-replenishing ingredients, including triglycerides and several fatty acids (oleic, linoleic).
Contains several other skin goodies such as antioxidant vitamins E and B and Vitamin A to accelerate skin cell turnover to help the skin look smooth and soft without a greasy residue.
TIME RELEASED AHA:
A synergy of 28% AHAs (15% glycolic / 7% lactic / 6% citric acid) in a biomimetic lamellar structure behaves like an intracutaneous AHA reservoir. This is a new way of applying AHAs in a time-released manner that equals the performance of a conventional AHA treatment while avoiding a burning sensation and redness. The skin becomes brighter, and hyper-pigmentation, spots, blackheads, and acne scars diminish.
PERSIAN SILK TREE EXTRACT St Paul's worth:
Derived from the Persian silk tree, it offers some impressive benefits as an anti-glycation ingredient. It boosts cell energy, revitalizes tired skin, supports the skin's natural detoxification process, and tightens weak contours – for a fresh and smooth complexion.
It reduces signs of fatigue swiftly, visibly, and lastingly:
Repairs skin protein structures that have suffered damage through glycation and protect them from further damage.
Optimizes the energy supply in the skin (ATP)and keeps the microcapillary system intact.
Diminishes dark eye circles and puffy eyes and prevents spots from forming and relaxes deep expression lines.
HYALURONIC ACID:
Provides intense smoothing hydration to the skin, can improve skin elasticity, suppleness, and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
ALLANTOIN:
Anti-inflammatory with great calming benefits on the skin: soothes, protects, cleans, heals, and promotes cell regeneration.
Perfect as a balancer for resurfacing ingredients.
ALOE VERA:
The juice expressed from the aloe plant leaves has excellent antioxidant and moisturizing properties.
It soothes irritation, reduces redness, and calms the skin.
It has a long history of treating sunburned skin and accelerating wound healing.
ASTAXANTHIN:
A naturally occurring reddish pigment derived from microalgaeHaematococcus pluvialisis considered the most potent natural antioxidant without any pro-oxidative nature and highly efficient at counteracting reactive oxygen molecules. Besides its antioxidative potential, it has excellent anti-inflammatory properties.It has been shown to improve overall skin health and counteract aging by providing comprehensive protection against oxidative degradation. Positive effects were demonstrated, particularly concerning elasticity, moisture retention, age spots, wrinkle depth, and skin texture. Astaxanthin improves skin elasticity by strengthening collagen and revitalizing stressed skin by removing free radicals in all dermal layers. It can restore the skin's natural antioxidant balance and protect cell membranes against lipid peroxidation.
VITAMIN E:
Promotes skin health and hydration and helps to improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Occurs naturally in human skin, is a potent natural antioxidant, neutralizes free radicals, and protects against photo-aging.Has wrinkle smoothing emollient properties when applied topically and can penetrate the skin to impart lasting moisture. It also promotes a stronger skin moisture barrier—a key characteristic of smooth, healthy-looking skin.It increases the skin's capacity to retain water, effectively preventing dehydrated skin. By limiting trans-epidermal water loss, vitamin E also helps keep the natural moisture barrier intact.
