Ch. 03, Exfoliant
Our Triple Acids Serum is carefully formulated with a potent blend of three exfoliating acids: AHA, BHA, and PHA. Due to the differences in molecular size they penetrate different layers of the skin for a multi-layered exfoliation that target both surface, upper and deeper layers. With continued use, these active ingredients can help stimulate collagen production, remove dead skin cells, unclog pores, and suppress skin inflammation.

How to use: Apply a couple of drops daily or a couple of times a week to clean face. Avoid eye area. Shake bottle before each use.
Precaution: Exfoliating acids can increase sun sensitivity and it is therefore recommended to follow up with sun protection during treatment period.
How to layer: To maximize results and prevent over-exfoliation and dryness, avoid mixing exfoliating acids with vitamin c (L-ascorbic acid) or retinoids. Instead, use them in alternating routines to enjoy the benefits of both.

Ingredients
Glycolic Acid (Source of AHA)
This serum contains glycolic acid, which is a type of alpha-hydroxy-acid, that is extracted from sugar cane. Glycolic acid have been extensively researched for decades and many studies confirm its efficacy in exfoliating the upper layers of skin and stimulating collagen production.
Snow Algae Extract
Snow algae, also known as Coenochloris signiensis, is an unusual species of algae that has adapted to thrive in climates with year-round snow. In this environment, snow algae produce specialized polymers, glycoproteins, and potent antioxidant carotenoids to survive. Studies indicate that the unique combination of nutrients found in snow algae provides powerful skin-protecting and anti-ageing properties.
Jojoba oil
Jojoba Oil is a non-comedogenic liquid wax with anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties. It effectively hydrates and softens the skin.
Glycerin
Glycerin acts as a humectant, attracting and binding water molecules to the skin, resulting in enhanced hydration. This natural process keeps the skin feeling soft, smooth, and supple.
Ethylhexylglycerin
Ethylhexylglycerin is derived from glycerin and acts as a preservative and skin conditioning agent. Its antimicrobial properties extend product shelf life, while its conditioning and moisturizing effects enhance skin texture and hydration.
Willow Bark Extract (Source of BHA)
Willow Bark Extract, derived from willow tree bark, has a long history of medicinal use. It contains "salicin," a precursor to salicylic acid, which aids in exfoliating the deeper layers of the skin, promoting the removal of dead skin cells and unclogging pores. Additionally, salicin's anti-inflammatory properties make Willow Bark Extract beneficial for soothing irritated or inflamed skin, making it particularly useful for individuals with sensitive or acne-prone skin.
Aloe Vera
Aloe vera, a widely recognized household plant, offers a nurturing, soothing, and moisturizing effect, along with its antiseptic properties. Rich in amino acids, enzymes, vitamins, and minerals, aloe vera boasts a remarkable array of beneficial properties.
Phenoxyethanol
Phenoxyethanol is a safe and gentle preservative. As an ether alcohol, it can be found naturally in green tea or synthesized in a laboratory. It is added in low concentrations (>1%), due to its effective antibacterial and anti-fungal properties.
Hydroxyethylcellulose
Hydroxyethylcellulose is derived from cellulose, a naturally occurring polysaccharide (complex sugar) found in the cell walls of plants. It acts as a binding agent and emulsifier.
Sodium hydroxide
Sodium hydroxide is derived from saltwater (brine) through the process of electrolysis. It is used in small quantities as an ingredient to adjust the pH level of formulations to ensure they are gentle and compatible with the skin's natural pH.
Fermented Prickly Pear (Source of PHA)
Our serum contains gluconic acid derived from fermented prickly pear, serving as a gentle form of Polyhydroxy Acid (PHA) exfoliant. It works to softly smooth the top surface of the skin, promoting a refined complexion without causing irritation.
Hyaluronic Acid
Hyaluronic acid is a powerful hydrating agent composed of sugars and amino acids. It can retain up to 1,000 times its weight in water, providing excellent hydration and moisture retention to the skin. Its natural presence in our bodies ensures well-hydrated tissues for joints, nerves, eyes, and skin and helps to plump and smooth the skin's appearance.
Cetearyl & Sorbitan Olivate
Cetearyl Olivate and Sorbitan Olivate are natural emulsifiers derived from olive oil. They are hypoallergenic and have anti-inflammatory and anti-irritant effects on the skin.
Maltodextrin
Maltodextrin, a plant-derived carbohydrate, serves multiple functions in skincare formulations. It acts as an absorbent, effectively soaking up excess moisture and oils from the skin's surface. Additionally, it acts as a binding agent, holding ingredients together and providing formulation stability.
Phospholipids
Phospholipids are naturally occurring fats found in the skin and can be derived from plants. They have the ability to attract and retain water, making them effective moisturizers. They can replenish depleted phospholipids in the skin and also offer antioxidant properties. When applied to the skin, they help deliver other beneficial ingredients effectively.
