ACTIVE OIL
ACTIVE OIL
The oil of all oils! Vitamin C and retinol add a serious force to this formula, making it a truly activated oil. We use tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate at 5%, a highly stable form of vitamin C to target pigmentation, and retinol at 1%, an absolute powerhouse that delivers visible skin-restoring results. Additional ingredients like vitamin E, bakuchiol, and licorice root extract enhance the effectiveness of the actives, with the oil base and remaining ingredients soothing and moisturizing, delivering an actual all-in-one skincare solution.
What does tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate (vitamin C) do?
Tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate provides all of the benefits of the more commonly used vitamin C derivative, ascorbic acid, but is gentler, more stable, and has an exceptional ability to penetrate skin, among other advantages. It works to preserve skin’s collagen, neutralize free radicals to prevent damage, and lessen signs of photoaging like hyperpigmentation and premature wrinkles.
What does retinol (vitamin A) do?
Retinol is an incredibly researched and well-documented proven skincare powerhouse that addresses a wide variety of skin concerns by communicating with your skin to look and act healthier. Vitamin A can generate clinical improvements in photoaged skin, reverse UV damage, increase skin smoothness, decrease hyperpigmentation, and refine pore size.
We believe in dynamic products, with ingredients at effective levels, serving beneficial functions. No fillers, sensitizing ingredients, or fragrance of any kind.
