Main Ingredients:

Sodium hyaluronate is part of hyaluronic acid. It can be extracted and used separately. This is important because it changes how the substance affects the skin. Sodium hyaluronate has a lower molecular weight than hyaluronic acid. It’s small enough to penetrate the epidermis, or top layer of the skin. In turn, it can improve hydration from the underlying skin layers. When applied topically, it attracts moisture in skin cells helping to reduce dryness and flaking by increasing skin hydration.

Bakuchiol is a potent antioxidant that neutralizes environmental attacks (think pollution and damaging molecules generated from sun exposure) that take their toll on skin over time. These attacks, if not curbed, can go on to prematurely age skin and promote uneven skin tone as well as a loss of firmness. Bakuchiol visibly reduces photo-damage (discolorations from environmental exposure) and helps even out skin tone. It increases the appearance of skin’s firmness, in turn reducing signs of fine lines and wrinkles. It also has a pronounced soothing effect that calms skin and helps forestall signs of aging.

Sodium-L-Ascorbyl-2-Phospahte Dihydrate. Just like pure vitamin C, SAP has been clinically proven to improve the tone, texture and clarity of the skin. By fending off free radicals before they get a chance to damage DNA and valuable proteins within the skin, SAP helps fight off the visible signs of aging such as dullness, dryness, fine lines, wrinkles, sagging and dark spots.

Palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7 is a synthetic peptide composed of the amino acids glutamine, glycine, arginine, and proline. It works as a skin-restoring ingredient and is noted for its soothing ability since it can interrupt factors within skin that lead to signs of irritation (including from exposure to UVB light) and loss of firmness. This peptide blend can help the skin regain a firmness and engage in repair to visibly reduce wrinkles. Along with the four amino acids, this peptide also contains the fatty acid palmitic acid to enhance stability and penetration into the skin. .

Palmitoyl tripeptide-1 is a synthetic fatty acid-linked peptide that can help repair visible skin damage and strengthen skin’s underlying supportive elements. It’s categorized as a “signal peptide” because of its ability to “tell” skin how to look better, specifically regarding reducing signs of sun damage like wrinkles and rough texture. Research has shown that this peptide has similar anti-aging benefits to retinol.

Caffeine can stimulate blood circulation around the eyes, helping to improve the look of dark circles and puffy under eyes. Studies have found caffeine can help protect your skin cells from UV radiation and slow down sun damage that leads to wrinkles. Some research has found that by improving blood flow, caffeine may help remove fatty acids from fat and dissolve fat right below the skin resulting in smoother skin.
