The two peptide compounds SH-Polypeptide-2 and Oligopeptide-34 are used both to regulate sebum and to soothe skin that is already inflamed. Oligopeptide-34 is a synthetic peptide that contains 13 different amino acids consisting of arginine, aspartic acid, isoleucine, glutamine, leucine, serine, threonine and tryptophan.
Niacinamide is a very well tolerated and stable Vitamin B3 derivative. It is particularly valuable for oily skin types as it has an anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and cleansing effect. A major advantage is that, unlike many substitutes in anti-acne products, it does not dry out or irritate the skin. Instead, niacinamide reduces sebum production, cleanses the pores and soothes inflammation. Inflamed pimples can heal quickly as a result, while the formation of new blackheads is prevented.
3-O Ethyl Ascorbic Acid is a particularly stable, highly effective and water-soluble derivative of Vitamin C. This modification significantly increases the stability of the molecule and improves its transport through the skin compared to pure Vitamin C, which is easily degraded. Only when 3-O ethyl ascorbic Acid penetrates the skin is it metabolised into Vitamin C. This is where the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effect in the epidermis can unfold optimally. It helps to combat bacteria that are normally responsible for acne.
Glutathione (also known as GSH) is a sulphur-containing tripeptide made up of glutamic acid, glycine and cysteine, which is found in every cell in our body. Oily and acne-prone skin types usually suffer from clogged pores in combination with a build-up of acne-causing bacteria. Glutathione is a powerful antioxidant and helps by removing these unwanted substances from the skin. Often the symptoms worsen at the beginning (break-out) as the toxins are transported to the surface of the skin. However, once these toxins have been combated and removed, an improved skin appearance quickly appears.
Liquorice extract combines many positive effects for oily, seborrhoeic and acne-prone skin, which is why it was voted medicinal plant of the year in 2012. According to the latest studies, liquorice contains over 400 active ingredients, such as glycyrrhizin, coumarins and over 300 different flavonoids. As a result, liquorice has a strong anti-inflammatory, anti-irritant, antioxidant and smoothing effect. It also lightens the skin tone and adapts to different skin tones. Due to its biocompatibility and natural extraction, it is ideal for sensitive and already damaged skin.
