Peptides are short-chain amino acids. As we age, our natural production of essential proteins like collagen, elastin, and keratin declines. Peptides tell those skin cells to rebuild and repair, while mending the skin barrier + locking in moisture.

Lactic acid is an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA). It doesn't penetrate pores as deeply as other acids, making this exfoliator ideal for surface texture issues like firmness, hyperpigmentation + dark spots.

Vitamin C replenishes natural lipids, restores healthy skin barrier function, aids in collagen production + neutralizes free radicals.

Salicylic acid is a BHA (beta hydroxy acid). It breaks down bonded skin cells to balance sebum production, unclog pores + remove dead skin.

Retinol is a form of vitamin A. This potent over-the-counter exfoliator increases cell turnover, unclogs pores + helps regain elasticity.

A form of vitamin B3, niacinamide improves skin's natural barrier by boosting ceramide production + increasing cell turnover.

Glycolic acid is an AHA (alpha hydroxy acid). Made from sugar cane, its tiny molecules penetrate skin easily to stimulate collagen + dissolve the top layer of dead cells.

The largest naturally-occurring humectant in the skin, hyaluronic acid hydrates skin cells by pulling in and retaining a high volume of water.

Full of natural antioxidant properties, squalane builds and strengthens skin's natural moisture barrier to lock in hydration at the cellular level.

Sulfur removes dead skin by drying it out and allowing it to easily slough away. This keeps pores clear and allows fresh new layers of skin to grow in its place. It also has antibacterial properties, combating bacteria that lead to acne + other forms of skin irritation.
