Ingredient
Glycerin
What It Is

Glycerin works as a humectant, it attracts moisture from the air into the stratum corneum (top layer of skin), and due to its low molecular weight, will continue to draw moisture to the deeper layers of the dermis.

Glycerin also treats several skin disorders, ranging from dry skin to wound healing. The ingredient has the potential of improving your overall internal health as well.

Due to its versatility and ability to moisturise, it’s used in everything from lotions to soaps to toners.

What It Does

How to use in your skincare routine?

Products with glycerin can be used topically multiple times a day. You can safely and effectively use this ingredient in nearly every single step of your skin care routine. Several skin care brands use glycerin when formulating everything from cleansers and toners, to serums and moisturisers.

Benefits
  • Glycerin tightens and firms - Use this ingredient for a few weeks or even a few days and we think you'll find that it plumps and softens your look significantly, especially if you have more mature skin.
  • It improves your complexion - Glycerin is non-comedogenic, meaning it won’t clog pores.
  • It brightens - Between glycerin’s rejuvenating properties and its ability to moisturise, glycerin plays a key role in keeping skin looking bright and luminous.
  • The ingredient is also a good choice for sensitive skin. Because it’s a natural component of skin, it calms redness and inflammation. It’s one of the gentler ingredients you can find in skin care products and can even help alleviate sensitivity over time.
Lactic Acid
What It Is

Lactic acid is a chemical exfoliant that comes from the fermentation of lactose a carbohydrate found in milk. ‌Like glycolic and mandelic acids, this acid belongs to the alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) family. AHAs are water-soluble organic compounds that, in cosmetic formulations, offer unparalleled benefits for the skin.

What It Does

It’s advised that you gradually introduce this exfoliant into your daily routine.

And while most lactic acid products are suggested for use before bed, you should always carefully read the instructions and labels. If you’ve got sensitive or tricky skin, do a patch test with the product before going all the way.

Since AHAs, including lactic acid, work to peel away and soften the top layer of your epidermis, there’s always a risk that your skin can be more exposed to the elements, including the sun.

Therefore, it’s advised that you pair your lactic acid use with a sunscreen or a SPF-containing product.

Benefits

Lactic acid has many known perks. It increases cell turnover and helps eliminate accumulated dead skin cells on the epidermis — the top layer of the skin.

After using lactic acid, you'll notice a brighter and smoother complexion. This AHA exfoliant helps treat moderate to severe hyper-pigmentation. It can fade out age spots and reduce the appearance of wrinkles and highly visible pores. This acid is one of the mildest forms of AHA, so it's safe to use it on sensitive skin in the right concentrations.

 

Peptides
AHAs / BHAs / PHAs
What It Is

The world of acids can be divided into a few categories, three to be precise: Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs), Beta Hydroxy Acids (BHAs) and the underdog, Polyhydroxy Acids (PHAs). If you're using a skincare acid, it'll fall into one of these three categories.

AHAs

These may ring some bells as you're bound to find an AHA already hiding in your skincare routine. AHAs are chemical exfoliators that can be extremely helpful for oily or blemish-prone skin if used on a regular basis.
The top dogs in this category are Glycolic Acid and Lactic Acid. You can find them mixed in with serums, moisturisers, cleansers and toners, depending on how high of a dosage you want to use (the smaller the percentage, the less potent the formula).

BHAs

Whilst they are also chemical exfoliators, AHAs and BHAs treat different skin problems.
AHAs are ideal for those concerned with ageing skin, whereas BHAs are best for those who are one the oilier side of the skincare spectrum and struggle with acne, blackheads and milia (the little white bumps you sometimes see under the skin).
Whilst AHAs are only water soluble, BHAs are oil soluble, which is why they are ideal for those struggling with an oil-slick T-zone. They can get below the oil that’s clogging up your skin and also have antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. So they help spots disappear quicker and calm any redness.
The most popular BHA is Salicylic Acid. It can be found in a range of different formulas targeted at spot treatments.

PHAs

The underdog of the acid trilogy, PHAs don't get the praise they deserve.

"PHAs (AKA Polyhydroxy Acids) are very similar to traditional alpha hydroxy acids, because both work by breaking down the 'glue' that binds dull, dead cells to the surface of the skin." Daniel Isaacs, Scientific Director at Medik8

They're especially beneficial for those who find other acids too strong. 'Even very sensitive skin types can harness the resurfacing powers of PHAs,' says Daniel. 'In clinical studies, they have been proven to be compatible with dry, itchy skin conditions such as eczema and atopic rosacea.'
The most common PHA acids are Gluconolactone, Galactose and Lactobionic - bit of a mouthful to say but well worth looking out for the next time you’re in the market for a new chemical exfoliant.

Niacinamide
What It Is

Although the word Niacinamide may sound a little scary, it’s basically Vitamin B3, an essential nutrient for your skin. This is why Niacinamide can help your skin look healthier.

It can be found in vitamin-rich foods, such as kale, mushrooms and almonds, which help take great care of your body from the inside, as well as in our skin care products to pamper it from the outside.

What It Does

Niacinamide is a true multitasker. From boosting hydration to protecting the skin from environmental damage, it offers a wide variety of benefits. It penetrates your skin and helps renew your complexion from within.

Benefits

Although Niacinamide may be less talked about than the wonder ingredient of the decade, retinol, its benefits are just as significant. Here are some of the most amazing skin benefits of Niacinamide:

  • Increases the skin’s ability to maintain hydration. Niacinamide strengthens your skin’s moisture barrier to improve its ability to hold on to moisture. Your skin is less likely to dry out and will stay hydrated for longer. If dry skin is a concern for you, view the range here.
  • Improves skin texture. It helps reduce the size of your pores while keeping your skin moisturised.
  • Rejuvenates the eye area. The skin around your eye is extremely delicate, and this is where usually the first signs of skin ageing appear. Niacinamide can help with these skin concerns and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles for younger-looking eyes.
  • Helps with dark spots and hyperpigmentation. Niacinamide’s is a true multitasker, it can also help lighten dark spots and the marks of hyperpigmentation.
  • Aids surface skin cell regeneration for younger-looking skin. By locking in moisture, Niacinamide provides your skin with the moisture it needs for natural skin cell turnover to take place properly.
  • Helps with oily skin. Niacinamide helps regulate sebum production and this can help control oily skin.
