AHA & BHA: Removes dead skin cells, improves skin texture and unclogs pores.
Probably the two most common ingredients used in skincare, alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) and beta hydroxy acids (BHAs) are excellent exfoliators. They not just help eliminate the dead skin cells but also render anti-aging benefits like smoothing fine lines and improving the skin texture. Prolonged use of these ingredients promises brighter, smoother and clearer skin. While AHA is water-soluble and effective in treating fine lines, uneven skin tone, sun damage and other issues affecting the surface of the skin, BHA is oil-soluble and works deep within to unclog pores by dissolving excess oil. These ingredients as a combination works wonders for acne-prone skin.
Zinc PCA: A preventive ingredient for skin aging that counteracts collagen degradation
Wielding the best result for oily, acne-prone skin, Zinc PCA is a synergistic combination of two great components – Zinc and L-PCA. L-PCA stands for pyrrolidone carboxylic acid and is a key molecule in the skin. The zinc part in this association helps regulate sebum production thereby limiting the proliferation of acne-causing bacteria while L-PCA enhances the process of hydration and energy. L-PCA does not just hydrate the skin but also helps increase the efficacy of zinc. Antimicrobial in nature, it is highly effective in tackling acne and other bacterial strains. The active is also a promising anti-aging component in the face wash that boosts the production of type-I collagen.
Niacinamide: Inhibits melanin production by reducing the transfer of melanosomes.
Niacinamide inhibits the oxidative processes that are responsible for producing Amadori products. Amadori products are yellowish brown in color that accumulate in skin matrix components like collagen as one advances in age; Niacinamide helps tackle the detrimental effects of such processes. Niacinamide also enhances the skin’s barrier function, decreasing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and promotes skin
elasticity.
Oligopeptide-10: Eliminates harmful bacteria and exposes a healthy, radiant skin.
A common ingredient used in modern anti-acne skin care products, Oligopeptide-10 is highly compatible with other anti-acne ingredients such as salicylic acid. It works in perfect synergy with other components of a product to provide the best results. This antibacterial peptide is clinically proven to reduce blemishes, acne scars, red spots and skin blotchiness. It also helps in improving the skin’s natural defense mechanism by eliminating harmful acne-causing bacteria and alleviating skin irritation and redness. It unveils a naturally radiant skin and makes it uniform in appearance. Considered a safe ingredient, it is an obvious choice for anti-acne products owing to its non-toxic and non-mutagenic nature in addition to other properties like low irritation and sensitization profile.
Sarcosine: Ideal for acne-prone, oily skin, acts as a purifying agent, dermo-protector and sebum regulator.
A natural amino acid that is also found in body tissues, sarcosine is a water-soluble, safe ingredient that is widely used in skincare, particularly in sunscreens. It is known to significantly reduce sebum production mattifying the skin and is ideal for use by all skin types. It is also used to treat seborrhea-induced conditions of the skin and scalp that include enlarged pores, acne and oily shine on the T zone. It is used as a skin conditioning ingredient as it attracts water that is available for the skin cells to utilize for hydration. Furthermore, sarcosine forms a mesh-like coating over the epidermis that not just prevents the skin from drying but also enhances penetration of other useful ingredients. It keeps the oil production by sebaceous glands in check protecting the skin from infections.
