The chemistry, if you want it
Matrixyl 3000. A well-studied peptide backed by research on collagen support. Helps the look of firmer, more resilient skin over time.
Vitamin C (THD Ascorbate). A stable, oil-soluble form of Vitamin C that penetrates deeper than traditional Vitamin C. Brightens the look of skin and supports even-looking tone.
Tranexamic Acid. Well-studied for stubborn dark spots and the look of persistent uneven tone. Works with your skin's natural cycle for a more even-looking appearance.
Alpha-Arbutin. A stable brightener that helps regulate the look of uneven pigment. Especially useful for skin dealing with sun-triggered dark spots.
Snow Algae Extract. A cold-adapted algae studied for its ability to help skin stand up to environmental stress.
CollagenGuard's Matrixyl 3000 and Vitamin C smooth the look of fine lines and add glow. PigmentProtect's Tranexamic Acid and Alpha-Arbutin fade the dark spots left behind.
