INGREDIENTS:
SKIN ALPHABET VITAMIN A SERUM
- Retinol 0.1%: Retinol gets activated within the cellular structure of the skin and protects against degradation of collagen, and improves the elasticity of the skin.
- Encapsulated Beta Carotene (Vitamin A) + Carrot Root Extract 1.5%: Beta carotene is a powerful natural antioxidant, which creates an environment that allows retinol to flourish while protecting the skin from sun damage.
- Plant-derived Squalane 1%: Formulated to supplement the existing squalane in the sebum of our skin, which creates a barrier on the surface, this helps your skin maintain the right balance of oil and water and keeps it nourished and moisturised.
- Sodium Hyaluronate: 0.1% - This low-molecular-weight (40-60 kDa) mucopolysaccharide, gets easily absorbed into the lower layer of the skin and binds water serving as a natural humectant providing intense moisturisation and elasticity to the skin.
SKIN ALPHABET VITAMIN C SERUM
- Vitamin C derivative - Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate 10%: Helps address age spots and acne scars, by reducing peroxide formation and carbonylated proteins, which gives your skin an even tone and natural glow. It also reduces bacteria that cause acne.
- Marine Probiotics 5%: These probiotics are derived from a Pseudomonas strain. They minimize oiliness and shine on the skin along with the number of visible pores and their surface area. They reduces the accumulation of sebaceous lipids and the maturation of sebocytes, which gives you naturally glowing and balanced skin.
- Aloe Vera 5%: Reduces UV induced erythema and soothes the skin.
- Sodium Hyaluronate 0.1% : This low-molecular-weight (40-60 kDa) mucopolysaccharide, gets easily absorbed into the lower layer of the skin and binds water serving as a natural humectant providing intense moisturisation and elasticity to the skin.
- 5 Spot Complex: 1% - This is a combination of 5 actives, including 3-0-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid, Potassium Azeloyl Diglycinate, and Bisabolol that helps address other concerns like pigmentation and dark spots.
