Bakuchiol (pronounced ba-koo-heel): an extract derived from the leaves and seeds of the babchi plant. It’s an herb commonly used in Indian Ayurvedic and Chinese medicines, as well as Tamil Siddha practices to help heal, calm, and soothe the skin, thanks to its anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties. a 2018 study published in The British Journal of Dermatology concluded that bakuchiol is comparable with retinol in its ability to improve photoaging, preventing wrinkles, improving elasticity, and smoothing skin texture.

Retinol 1%: Retinol is a very active form of Vitamin A that improves the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and photodamaged skin. Retinol increases the cell proliferation process and normalizes the enzyme activity of the keratinocytes improving the physiology of the skin. This leads to an improved skin barrier function, helping the skin retain moisture, evening skin pigmentation, and improving skin firmness.

Bisabolol: from organically cultivated ginger extract. This antioxidant protects the skin from daily free radical aggressions, soothes redness and irritated skins by targeting factors that can trigger an inflammatory response.

Multiex BSASM: a blend of seven plant extracts; Centella, Green Tea, Chamomile, Licorice, Rosemary, Skullcap, and Japanese Knotweed. Well known and used in Asia to obtain fast and efficient soothing and hydrating effects. Works to prevent skin irritation.

Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5: a patented tripeptide with a unique sequence that imitates the human body's own collagen-producing mechanism while simultaneously protecting against collagen degradation. Studies showed after one month of application the skin appeared to have improved skin firmness and elasticity, refined skin texture, a reduction in the appearance of pores for smoother, rejuvenated, younger looking skin.

Vitamin A is one of the most critical skin vitamins. Every time we go out into sunlight we significantly deplete our vitamin A . Vitamin A is responsible for regulating so many functions in the skin. Start with every other evening for a few weeks, then increase to daily evening application. Working up to daily use is ideal.
