This rejuvenating face and neck cream exfoliates, revitalizes, and protects skin with a combination of 15 percent alpha- and beta-hydroxy acids, plus antioxidants.
Key Ingredients:
- Lactic Acid, Glycolic Acid, Citric Acid, and Malic Acid → Each is a natural alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) derived from bilberry extract, sugar cane extract, sugar maple extract, and citrus extracts that provide intense exfoliation to help reduce the appearance of wrinkles and improve skin texture. Helps keep surface cells soft and pliable.
- Salicylic Acid → A beta-hydroxy acid (BHA) with keratolytic activity to help open clogged sebaceous follicles. Helps dissolve the top layers of the stratum corneum cells and remove impurities, improving the look and feel of the skin. Also provides antiseptic and fungicidal action.
- Panthenol (Pro-Vitamin B5) → A deep-penetrating agent that binds moisture to surface skin layers. Soothing, it helps stimulate cellular proliferation and promote normal skin keratinization.
- Tocopheryl Acetate → A stabilized ester of vitamin E considered the most important antioxidant and free radical scavenger. Moisturizes the skin and improves smoothness.
