PHOTOSOMES-V™ liposomal 1.0% is a marine extract that supports skin cell DNA repair and helps to repair the signs of early skin aging. Our specially-selected plankton contains a critical repair enzyme which reduces the appearance of UV-induced DNA damage. Photosomes-V is a liposome containing the enzyme Photolyase, a light-activated repair system that targets the repair of DNA damage (dimers) induced by the sun. The liposome delivery system is designed to penetrate into the epidermis and break down in the cells. The liposome breaks at the pH of cells, releasing the DNA repair enzyme.

Bee venom has the plumping power reminiscent of some prescription-grade fillers. This booster also contains bee propolis and royal jelly.

Propolis is a resinous substance found in beehives. It is well-known for its soothing, softening, anti-oiliness, and moisturizing properties. Royal jelly is one of the richest natural products in amino acids. It has hydrating, emollient, smoothing, conditioning, and restorative properties.

This trendy ingredient is sustainably harvested and combines the advantages of bee venom and bee products (and none of the pain!)

Probiotics: A concentrate of probiotic Lactobacillus Lysate, from the bacteria found naturally in yogurt, targets the skin's microbiome (the balance of good and bad bacteria) and helps re-balance, renew, and optimize skin health. Our lysate (not live bacteria) is isolated from soy and chicory, and is non-animal derived and non-dairy.

Innovative Telangyn peptide solution (Acetyl Tetrapeptide-40) decreases the appearances of facial redness and telangiectasia caused by an exaggerated inflammatory response. It can reduce the appearance of rosacea, local erythema, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. It is also shown to increase photoprotection, and improve general skin properties like firmness and tone.

This powerful active ingredient, natural and ecological, is extracted from a defensive liquid secreted by molluscs (snails). It is a complete and balanced solution, created by a living creature to protect, restore, renew and hydrate its own skin. It has been shown to restore the appearance of elastin fibers in the skin’s extracellular matrix and provide a gentle exfoliation.

Note that snail secretion filtrate is collected without any harm to the snail. This product, from France, complies with biodiversity protection regulations.

Radianskin™ is a stellar spot removal active launched by BASF Care Creations. According to BASF, Radianskin is a non-toxic derivative of hydroquinone that helps fade the appearance of discoloration and improve uneven skin tone, and safely prevents melanogenesis in vitro better than ascorbyl glucoside, kojic acid, and arbutin and has equivalent efficacy to hydroquinone without cytotoxicity. It inhibits melanin transfer with great efficacy and prevents UVB damage. Radianskin, the primary active in SkinCeuticals’ Advanced Pigment Corrector ($92), is clinically proven to visibly reduce the appearance of dark spots within two weeks.

CAUTION: since this optional booster ingredient affects the appearance of melanin, and melanin is what give hair pigment, you’ll want to avoid applying to eyebrows, beard, etc. if you’re concerned about lightening/brightening. Alternatively, wipe those areas after application, or apply the serum by hand instead of spraying, avoiding hair areas.

Winner of the Gold Award for Best New Ingredient at in-Cosmetics Paris. According to Givaudan SA, its developer, this exclusive plant extract has demonstrated its unique biological capabilities to:

• Be the first bioactive cosmetic ingredient targeting the production of cortisol, the major stress hormone.

• Targets the promotion of endorphins, a natural calming neuropeptide acting on mood and promoting a sense of well-being and relaxation.

• Provide fast benefits in only 2 weeks, with a visible reduction of redness (up to 2.4x), a very fast recovery of skin luminosity (+57%), and improvement in global skin color (+99%) after only 28 days.

Environmental pollutants including cigarette smoke, ozone, exhaust fumes & heavy metals generate free radicals that induce oxidative damage and put skin cells in a state of stress. Neurophroline is shown to have clinical efficacy in reducing the appearance of premature aging caused by environmental pollution.

A remarkable soother, barrier function booster, and moisturizer, our Beta-Glucan is vegan and derived from Reishi mushrooms. It holds an astounding 20% more water in the skin than hyaluronic acid.

Specifically designed to address the appearance of dark circles and broken capillaries. We've made it liposomal for time-released benefits and to promote deeper penetration.

A biotechnological blend derived primarily from hydrolyzed pea protein, Lumicease is intended to prevent digital and photoaging, LUMICEASE helps prepare the skin through an adaptive response to light and offers skin protection against UV, infra-red and blue light radiations from phones, tablets and computers, as well as pollutants in the air.

A decrease in the number of brown spots by 11.7% as well as in the amount of UV spots by 14.1% was observed after 56 days of treatment suggesting a repairing effect. Wrinkle volume and average roughness also diminished 21.5% and 13.2% respectively.
