L-Mandelic Acid
Mandelic acid is a kinder, gentler alpha-hydroxy acid that is derived from bitter almonds. Though mandelic acid is powerful in accelerating the turnover of skin cells, it is much less irritating than many other alpha hydroxy acids.This leads to a brighter, smoother, more even complexion. Mandelic acid’s antibacterial properties are extremely helpful in treating acne keeping bad things out of your pores. It also helps to regulate sebum production and in turn, decrease the occurrence of breakouts.
Lactic Acid
Lactic acid is an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) and derived from foods. Lactic acid helps your skin shed dead skin cells because it operates as a non-friction type of exfoliant---the power of a good scrub without the scrubbing! A great choice for sensitive skin, lactic acid is gentle yet powerful and helps rejuvenate your skin and brighten your complexion. Lactic acid helps the appearance of large pores making them appear smaller.
Niacinamide
Niacinamide is a calming ingredient that gives numerous benefits to your beautiful skin. Not only is it an effective skin-repair agent, niacinamide works to hydrate and brighten your skin. The outer layer of your skin is strengthened by the addition of this vitamin B3 as it fuels cellular bonds. This gives you smoother, brighter skin that is both calmed and stable. Clinical trials show niacinamide helps lower sebum excretion (as in less oily skin!) and other studies have shown niacinamide reduces both acne lesions and acne severity.
Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice
Aloe barbadensis is simply another name for aloe vera. Rich and moisturizing, aloe also has two important hormones, auxin and gibberellins. These two hormones promote healing and help calm inflammation. Giberellin stimulates new cell growth which helps skin to heal quickly and naturally with added protection against scarring. Aloe vera also helps boost the water content in your skin and leaves it hydrated without making your skin feel yucky and greasy.
Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Fruit Extract
Orange peel oil has a solid reputation based on its uplifting citrus aroma and high levels of the antioxidant vitamin C making it a natural choice as a skincare ingredient. It is also used in beauty products for its content of alpha-hydroxy acids (AHA's). AHA's can be used as water-binding agents in cosmetics, but are mostly used in modern cosmetics for their exfoliating and therapeutic properties which help with and minimize photodamaged skin.
Eucalyptus globulus (Eucalyptus) leaf oil
Used for centuries, eucalyptus leaf oil is a fighter first and foremost. It functions as an anti-inflammatory that calms your skin, an antiseptic to promote healing, and antibacterial to kill off germs, an antioxidant to shield your skin from environmental damage, an antiviral that inhibits viral attack, and an anti-fungal to prevent and treat fungal infection.
