A VITAMIN (Retinol)

When skin cells are stimulated by the use of Retinol, they start to more closely resemble younger, healthier cells. Use of Vitamin A has also been shown to repair and stimulate new collagen production and increase cell turnover, exfoliating and unclogging the pore. It can also help fade acne scars, pigmentation and firm ageing skin.

 

Broad spectrum protection

Without protection from the sun’s rays, just a few minutes of exposure each day over the years can cause noticeable changes to the skin. Freckles, age spots, spider veins/redness on the face, rough and leathery skin, fine lines and wrinkles, blemishes and not forgetting skin cancer can all be traced to sun exposure, but can be protected against with daily facial sun protection. .

C VITAMIN (Antioxidant)

This unique (and effective!) antioxidant not only protects your skin from free-radical damage, but also promotes the synthesis of collagen, which improves the structural proteins within your skin and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It's also an effective skin brightener and anti-inflammatory.
