Glow On Exfoliating Body Serum

An alpha hydroxy acid obtained from star anise (Illicium verum). It has a carboxyl group, which means it can bind water in the epidermis to prevent transepidermal water loss. It improves hydration and makes the skin soft and supple. It is a mild keratolytic agent. It does not make skin red or dry. It is an antioxidant — it neutralizes and stabilizes free radicals, preventing uncontrolled reactions between free radicals and skin biomolecules.

Thanks to its antimicrobial and exfoliating properties, shikimic acid is perfect for acne-prone skin. It regulates excessive keratinization of the epidermis, unclogs sebaceous gland openings, and reduces the proliferation of microbes. 

Naturally found in many types of fruit, it belongs to the group of alpha hydroxy acids, which are potent active ingredients used in dermatology and cosmetology to treat acne, seborrhea, scars, melasma, and other types of discolorations, and to improve the condition of aging skin. Their effect on the skin depends on the concentration and pH value of the product. Used at low concentrations, malic acid has moisturizing, brightening, and firming properties, while at higher ones, it works as an exfoliating and softening agent.

It is a beta hydroxy acid (BHA) that demonstrates comedolytic and keratolytic properties. It stimulates skin desquamation, regulates the activity of sebaceous glands, minimizes blackheads and imperfections, evens out skin tone, and smooths the skin.

Powerful moisturizer that can reduce transepidermal water loss. It can improve skin hydration, speed up its regeneration, and act as an anti-aging agent. Depending on its molecular weight, HA takes on different properties: smaller molecules can penetrate the epidermal barrier more easily, ensuring hydration in the superficial layers of the epidermis, while high molecular weight hyaluronic acid does not penetrate the epidermis, but binds water molecules on its surface, creating a moisturizing compress which reduces discomfort and dehydration.

A substance that soothes irritations and accelerates skin regeneration. Helps eliminate skin dehydration.
