Mandelic acid acts as a gentle alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) that gently exfoliates the top layer of skin. The gentle exfoliation removes dead skin cells, which stimulates skin regeneration. At the same time, Mandelic acid helps stimulate collagen production, resulting in improved skin texture and a more even complexion. As an added benefit, the moisturizing properties intensify skin hydration for a supple, smooth complexion.
As a beta-hydroxy acid (BHA), the deep-acting salicylic acid’s lipophilic molecular structure makes it fat-soluble, which enables it to efficiently dissolve sebum and dead skin cells. With this unique mode of action, salicylic acid cleanses the pores thoroughly and prevents them from clogging, which reduces the appearance of blemishes such as blackheads and pimples. Salicylic acid also helps soothe irritated skin, reduce redness and swelling, and minimize existing blemishes.
The azelaic acid derivative is a universal skincare ingredient that is known for its antibacterial properties. The fact that it is better tolerated by the skin normalizes the skin’s sebum production and availability and prevents pores from clogging. The antioxidant properties protect the skin from harmful free radicals and thus prevent premature skin aging. As an added benefit, the balancing effect of this derivative may help soften hyperpigmentation and dark acne spots for a more balanced skin tone.
BIOGEN PLANT EXTRACT and Vitamin E also protect the skin against harmful environmental influences. The exquisite plant extract is derived from 8 highly potent plants of different genera. It has been researched and continuously improved for 6 decades, making it a true masterpiece of modern cosmetic research. The synergy of secondary plant substances, phenols, flavonoids, and other active ingredients revitalizes the skin by protecting it from free radicals and oxidative stress. The skin’s natural processes are improved, while the omnipotent essences unfold a positive effect on the skin microbiome. With each application, the skin is stimulated to produce a more revitalized, strengthened, and balanced complexion.
