ACTIVE INGREDIENTS

Niacinamide:
A stable form of Vitamin B3 that delivers multiple skin benefits, including reducing acne and blackheads, and controlling oiliness, as proven in various medical-scientific studies. It is a precursor to the cofactors NADH (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) and NADPH (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate), which in their reduced forms act as coenzymes in numerous biochemical reactions.

Glycolic Acid:
Derived from sugar cane, this alpha hydroxy acid has a small molecular size that penetrates the skin, stimulating cell renewal, accelerating natural regeneration, promoting chemical exfoliation, reducing dead cell buildup, and helping keep pores clear.

Tranexamic Acid:
A synthetic derivative of the amino acid lysine, it works on mechanisms influencing skin pigmentation, with proven efficacy in clinical trials for reducing dark spots, including those related to acne and sun exposure.

Salicylic Acid:
A beta hydroxy acid with antibacterial and antifungal properties, it promotes the exfoliation of the stratum corneum, removing dead cells, controlling oiliness, and inhibiting the occurrence of acne and blackheads. Its keratolytic action also increases skin permeability to other active ingredients.

Glycerin:
A hydrophilic organic compound, considered one of the most effective humectants used in skincare formulations, it provides hydration due to its ability to attract and retain moisture. Beyond surface action, Glycerin penetrates the skin barrier, maintaining its efficacy in deeper skin layers for several days.

Surfactants:
Substances capable of degrading and emulsifying fats and oils, and suspending solid particles, facilitating their removal with water. They are widely used in skin cleansing formulations. Surfactants are classified as cationic, anionic, non-ionic, and amphoteric, based on the characteristics of the ions they generate in aqueous solutions.
