Ingredients:
- 0.5% Pure Retinol (Vitamin A) – is converted to retinoic acid in the skin and helps to normalize cell turnover and increase water content in the epidermis. The retinol used in Intensive Clarity Treatment is stable and completely pure, making it highly potent and effective. It decreases follicular keratinization to reduce the occurrence of breakouts and evens pigmentation by inhibiting melanosomes from being transferred from the melanocytes into the keratinocytes.
- Vigna Aconitifolia Seed Extract – is a botanical that has demonstrated the ability to stimulate the growth factors that increase epidermal cell turnover.
- Syringa Vulgaris (Lilac) Leaf Cell Culture Extract – is the most active component of lilac leaf. Its major component is verbascoside, a potent antioxidant derived from the stem cells of the lilac plant. Lilac stem cell extract has been shown to inhibit sebum production and the melanogenesis process.
- Bakuchiol – is a potent antibacterial agent that controls excess oil production while also providing anti-inflammatory activity, MMP inhibition and antioxidant benefits.
- Phenylethyl Resorcinol, Licorice Extract and Phytic Acid – act as potent melanogenesis inhibitors, aiding in the clearing of discolorations.
- Gluconolactone – is a naturally occurring, non-irritating, antioxidant poly hydroxy acid (PHA). It provides strong anti-inflammatory action and dramatically reduces the number of both inflamed and non-inflamed lesions while providing moisturizing and barrier–strengthening properties.
