NIACINAMIDE: Niacinamide, also know as nicotinamide, is the water-soluble, active form of vitamin B3. It has been incorporated into many dermatological products including sunscreens and cosmetic products. It may improve acne with it's anti-inflammatory action, and it may increase skin hydration by decreasing water loss through the epidermis (outer layer of the skin). It is used in many anti-aging products because it can improve the pigmentation, blotchiness, and redness of ageing skin.

TRETINOIN: Tretinoin belongs to a class of medications called "retinoids". It is commonly used in anti-acne products, but it is also found in many anti-aging products. These medications speed up your scans cellular turnover process. By doing this, they allow your skin to create new cells and repair itself at a faster rate. Tretinoin also stimulates the production of new collagen when used long-term.

Because of these benefits, tretinoin reduces the appearance of wrinkles, evens out skin pigmentation, and also can treat adult acne. The end result is smoother, younger looking skin that's much less affected by fine lines, wrinkles, and other common signs of aging.

VITAMIN C: Vitamin C has several benefits for your skin. It is an antioxidant, which means it reduces the damage that free radicals may otherwise inflict on the body. A main antioxidant effect on the skin is reducing the damage that comes from repeated exposure to UV light. Vitamin C cannot reverse the appearance of wrinkles that develop naturally over time. However, vitamin C serums can help reduce premature aging by protecting the skin from the untimely skin wrinkles that sun exposure can cause.

Vitamin C also helps reduce premature wrinkling by stimulating the growth of collagen. Collagen is a protein that provides structure and elasticity to the skin.

VITAMIN E: Vitamin E is a nutrient your body needs to support your immune system and help your cells to regenerate. It also has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that make getting enough essential to your everyday health.

Vitamin E is most commonly known for its benefits for skin health and appearance. It can be applied topically to your face to reduce inflammation and make your skin look younger.
