GREEN TEA
It contains caffeine, a vasoconstrictor that quickly reduces puffiness and swelling and tightens skin under the eyes. An essential component of our Daily Mini Peel Powder, it is also one of the most potent antioxidants available.
HORSE CHESTNUT EXTRACT
This plant extract coming from the sea has definite anti-inflammatory properties as well as the ability to help reduce the permeability of capillaries. This makes it effective in cases of fragile or broken capillaries. Consequently, its benefits in Algologie’s Triple C Cream and Fleur De Mer are very effective and quick-acting Rosacea Serum.
LARIX EUROPAEA HAIR GROWTH STIMULANTS
Larix Europaea Wood Extract. Its action on the scalp, hair follicles and hair products is robust and healthy hair growth.
LICORICE ROOT EXTRACTS
One of the most potent skin & dark spot lighteners. They are used in our 28-Day Whitening Cream. Deficient levels produce the same inhibition of melanin synthesis as the powerful and effective Kojic Acid.
MUCOPOLYSACCHARIDES
Sodium Hyaluronate (Hyaluronic Acid) attracts, binds and holds valuable moisture in our skin. It is a natural component of our skin. Diminishes with ageing, leading to dry, dehydrated skin and, consequently, an older-looking appearance. Generally believed to be a potent humectant. Injected by medical professionals and applied topically by Beauty Therapists internationally. That’s why our pure Sodium Hyaluronate Serum is so effective instantly and continuously.
PROTEINS—AMINO ACIDS
Marine Collagen. It helps your skin look firmer and more youthful. Clinical trials have proved fewer wrinkles and wrinkle depth improved and hydration. That’s why our Collagen Drops are so popular and successful. But it must be collagen type 1 being used. Elastin used in our MultiTreatment Cream with Marine Collagen looks after the elasticity of our skin as we age.
PEPTIDES
Long or even short chains of amino acids, which themselves are the tiny building blocks of proteins. They are cells communicating and guiding the cells on how to react and what to do. For benefits other than water binding, they must be stable in the formula, paired with a carrier that allows penetration into the skin and can reach their targets while remaining active. In this case, they can reduce the ageing signs.
