Key Ingredients

Aloe Vera Leaf Juice – best known for its softening and soothing benefits.

Glycerin – is a humectant and emollient that helps to bind water to the skin. Glycerin is one of the most effective topical hydrators as it is readily accepted through the aquaporins (water channels) in the skin cells. It also improves the appearance and function of the skin by assisting in the healthy maturation of keratinocytes.

Sodium Hyaluronate – is a form of hyaluronic acid, which is a naturally occurring glycosaminoglycan with exceptional lubricating and hydrating qualities. It can hold 1,000 times its weight in water.

Panthenol (Pro-Vitamin B-5) – improves and increases the moisture-retention capacity of the skin.

Sodium PCA – naturally occurs in human skin and is an important ingredient for healthy skin function. It has been shown to hold 250 times its weight in water and significantly improves skin elasticity.

Niacinamide – is a form of the B vitamin that is required for proper circulation. Its demonstrated occlusive benefits help to reduce TEWL and improve the moisture content of the skin.

Key Ingredients

Hyaluronic Acid and Sodium Hyaluronate (Hyaluronic Acid Sodium Salt) – high molecular weight hyaluronic acid occludes the skin, attracting and holding 1,000 times its weight in moisture within the skin. It provides smoothing and softening of the skin while reducing transepidermal water loss (TEWL) and increasing moisture content in the upper skin layers.

Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid – due to its small molecular size, it is able to penetrate through the skin to deliver deeper moisturization and assists in reducing deep wrinkles.

HA-Pro Complex™ – PCA SKIN’s proprietary blend assists in stimulating the production of the skin’s own native hyaluronic acid. HA-Pro Complex™ delivers 24-hour moisturization, smoothing fine lines and wrinkles, and plumping and firming the skins appearance. For long term improvement.

Ceramides – supports the renewal of the skin’s natural protective layer and forms an effective barrier against moisture loss; improves long-term moisturization and helps protect skin from external offenders.

Niacinamide – a potent, yet calming antioxidant that delivers multiple important benefits to the skin. It helps to reduce TEWL and improve barrier function. This is critical for healthy, bright skin. Additionally, it helps reduce redness, skin yellowing and assists in promoting an even skin tone.
