It contains the potent addition of 4X Silk Amino Acids - antioxidants which aid in providing trace nutrients and nourishing the skin. They’re function is to be humectants that seek to draw water and enhance moisture absorption in order to revitalize skin. With the inclusion of actives like: Ethylated L-Asorbic acid to aid in fading dark spots and increasing collegen production.

Then the highly antioxidant Green & White Tea which helps in reduction of oxidative stress and damages. And finally the powerhouse antioxidant Astaxanthin that fights free radicals and prevent the damage they incur like fine lines, dark spots and redness. This new formula is “attempted” to be designed for dry and sensitive skin types. 🧬SKIN TYPE: Dehydrated, Acne-prone, Combination 💭GENERAL THOUGHTS vs. CLAIMS It must be said that this carries a strong shoe polish wood glue medicinal-like scent. Don’t know how no their review mentioned that here cause it’s wannabe adhesive bad. And it’s entirely unappealing and offputting. Luckily it doesn’t linger after it’s washed off your skin. But it’s one nasty scent and any further updates to this product has gotta get rid of that. The texture is jelly-like and through emulsion works it way into a thin creamy milk consistency. I used this on damp skin to aid in emulsion through the course of a week and a half. It didn’t dry out my skin after washing; which does validate its instant claim about preserving the moisture levels. My skin felt clean and calm with no flakes and my dehydration wasn’t set off. But through the week as I used this daily, the beginning of deep pimples were forming on cheeks and around my jawline/chin. At that point I stopped using this product daily. I tried using this once a day during the night and the pimples started back up. So in my experience daily use of this product was kickstarting breakouts. None of that soft skin or radiance just congestion. From the jump I knew I was gambling with getting this product that contained strong coconut oil derived surfactants + even more oils like jojoba + Vit C. And any supposed non inflammatory properties could be diminished. But I tried this even after researching thinking it’d work out. Unfortunately my acne prone skin reacted to this with acne lol. This not sensitive / acne prone skin formulated in my opinion. If you’re gonna get caught up in hype and the marketing of this buy this on a sale/new member discount/etc and patch test. It’s way too expensive to mess around with. pH: 5.1 - 6.1
