A potent, peptide-rich moisturizer formulated with Niacinamide, Resveratrol, and CoQ10 to target signs of aging while providing deep hydration through an Aloe and botanical oil base.
This is an exceptionally well-rounded formula that functions as a high-performance anti-aging treatment. It features a robust peptide complex (Matrixyl Synthe ’6 and Syntacks) known for stimulating collagen and improving skin structural integrity. The inclusion of Niacinamide adds barrier-repairing and brightening capabilities. Furthermore, the formula contains a superior antioxidant network including Resveratrol, CoQ10, Green Tea, and Vitamin E (both Tocopherol and Tocotrienols) to protect against environmental damage. The base of Aloe and Sodium PCA provides excellent hydration without relying solely on water.
The formula avoids parabens, harsh sulfates, and drying alcohols, utilizing a modern and gentle preservative system (Phenethyl Alcohol, Ethylhexylglycerin). However, individuals with acne-prone skin should be cautious, as Coconut Oil and Isopropyl Palmitate are highly comedogenic ingredients that may clog pores. Additionally, while Steam Distilled Lime Extract eliminates most phototoxicity risks associated with citrus, it remains a potential sensitizer for those with hyper-reactive skin or fragrance allergies.
This product earns a high rating for its sophisticated blend of clinically proven actives like peptides, niacinamide, and ubiquinone. It bridges the gap between a standard moisturizer and a potent anti-aging serum. While it is a powerhouse for dry or mature skin, the presence of pore-clogging emollients prevents a perfect score, as it may be too heavy or congesting for oily and acne-prone skin types.
This facial moisturizer represents a sophisticated blend of scientific innovation and botanical nourishment, aiming to tackle multiple signs of aging simultaneously. The formula is built upon a soothing base of Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice rather than plain water, instantly elevating its hydration and calming potential.
The star performers here are undoubtedly the peptides. The inclusion of Matrixyl Synthe ’6 is significant; this powerful peptide regulates cell activity and wound repair remodeling, specifically targeting the rebuilding of collagen and the skin matrix to smooth out wrinkles. Complemented by Syntacks, a dual-peptide complex that focuses on the dermo-epidermal junction, this product works tirelessly to improve skin structural integrity and firmness.
Beyond peptides, the inclusion of Niacinamide is a brilliant choice for strengthening the skin barrier, regulating oil production, and brightening the complexion. This is reinforced by a heavy-hitting antioxidant profile featuring Resveratrol, Co-enzyme Q10, Green Tea, and White Tea Extracts. This cocktail offers exceptional protection against environmental stressors and free radical damage, which are primary drivers of premature aging.
Moisturization is delivered through a rich mix of Safflower Seed Oil, Argan Oil, and Sodium PCA, ensuring the skin stays plump and hydrated. The addition of Aquacacteen, derived from prickly pear, further enhances the soothing capabilities of the cream.
However, the formulation is not without potential drawbacks for specific skin types. It contains Coconut Oil and Isopropyl Palmitate, both of which are known to be highly comedogenic and may clog pores in susceptible individuals. Additionally, the presence of Steam Distilled Lime Extract, while likely free of phototoxic compounds due to the extraction method, introduces a potential irritant for those with hyper-sensitive skin or compromised barriers. Overall, this is an excellent choice for mature or dry skin types seeking a comprehensive anti-aging solution, provided acne is not a concern.
