What is the skin science behind salicylic acid?

This skincare acid helps in the removal of the outer layer of the skin in addition to reducing inflammation. Salicylic acid is classed as a Beta Hydroxy Acid. This is the most commonly prescribed acid for the treatment of acne, blackheads, zits & other skin conditions.

This is the go-to skin acid for the treatment of acne. Salicylic acid helps pimples by dissolving the type of skin debris that clogs pores (keratin plugs) that causes acne. Salicylic acid can also reduce oil production & exert an anti-inflammatory effect on the skin.

What is the science behind hyaluronic acid?

This miracle molecule is composed of ‘sugar molecules’ known as polysaccharides. Hyaluronic acids (referred to as HAs)is a naturally occurring ingredient found in skin, bones, joints & eyes. It helps keep skin taut & youthful, & acts as a lubricant in the joints. This skin care ingredient is in the form of gels, lotions, creams, masks, tablets, capsules & of course injectables.

Hyaluronic acid can draw moisture from the environment to keep your skin moist, holding almost 1000 times its own weight in water. Hence it is not only a moisturizer, it has the ability to hold extra moisture. Found in the dermal layers of skin, HAs maintain skin integrity, reducing wrinkles & provides structural support.

Do eye creams work?

Eye creams for wrinkles are formulated to target the delicate skin around the eyes, which is often the first area to show signs of aging. As we age, the skin around the eyes loses elasticity and collagen, leading to the development of lines.

Eye creams for wrinkles can help to address these concerns by providing targeted hydration and nourishment to the skin.
