Matrixl 3000
Matrixyl™ 3000 is an active ingredient that contains matrikines, which are peptide molecules that play a crucial role in cutaneous restructuring and repair. These matrikines work by activating the genes involved in the process of intercellular matrix renewal and cell proliferation.
By stimulating these genes, Matrixyl™ 3000 effectively helps to restructure and smooth both the surface and deeper layers of the skin. This restructuring process leads to a significant reduction in the depth, density, and surface area of wrinkles, providing scientifically proven anti-wrinkle benefits.
In addition to its anti-wrinkle properties, Matrixyl™ 3000 has also been shown to improve skin tone and elasticity. This means that not only does it help reduce the appearance of wrinkles, but it also promotes a more youthful and refreshed appearance by enhancing the overall quality of the skin.
Overall, Matrixyl™ 3000 is a powerful active ingredient that offers multiple benefits for the skin. Its ability to activate genes involved in skin renewal and repair, along with its positive impact on skin tone and elasticity, make it a valuable component in skincare products aimed at combating the signs of aging.
Quora Noni
Quora Noni is a groundbreaking extract that revolutionizes acne prevention through a process called "dermohacking." Unlike traditional acne treatments that rely on bactericidal agents to sterilize the skin and kill bacteria, Quora Noni takes a different approach.
Derived from the Noni plant (Morinda citrifolia), Quora Noni works by balancing the skin's microbiome rather than destroying it. This is crucial because disrupting the microbiome can lead to an imbalance known as dysbiosis, which in turn can worsen blemishes and acne.
Instead of directly targeting bacteria, Quora Noni focuses on blocking bacterial communication channels that contribute to the development of blemishes and acne. By doing so, it helps maintain the health of your skin's microbiome, promoting clearer and healthier skin.

Niacinamide
Niacinamide, also known as Nicotinamide or Vitamin B3, is a well-researched ingredient with benefits for both acne-prone and mature skin. Studies have demonstrated its effectiveness in reducing sebum production at a 2% concentration, while a 4% concentration can help to decrease inflammation and the number of acne lesions.For mature skin types, Niacinamide aids in increasing the production of ceramides, cholesterol, and fatty acids in the skin. It also helps to reduce transepidermal water loss, improving the skin's hydration levels. Additionally, Niacinamide works to enhance the surface structure of the skin, thereby reducing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and pigmentation spots. Furthermore, it contributes to improving the elasticity of the skin.
