AC&E HydraGel 1.7fl.oz/50ml

$79.95 NZD

This unique, oil-free hydrator uses a powerhouse combination of antioxidants, vitamins, and essential oils to calm, hydrate, and protect skin. Vitamins within the AC&E HydraGel formulation revitalize your skin cells, reversing age-related damage and protecting your skin from environmental irritants. Suited to those with oily or combination skin, this light, water-based hydrator absorbs into your skin without a trace, leaving behind a smooth matte finish.

Key Ingredient Benefits:

• AC&E HydraGel is a potent mix of vitamins and extracts that encourage healthy oil production and regulation, restoring the function and vibrant appearance of your skin.

• Provitamin B5, a stable mix of D-Panthenol and L-Panthenol, is essential for normally functioning skin and oil production regulation. Combined with Vitamin A, in the form of Retinyl Palmate, easily absorbable through the skin and known for its rejuvenation benefits; Vitamin C, a potent antioxidant and skin soother that improves the appearance of aging; and Vitamin E, an antioxidant and skin conditioning agent; this powerhouse vitamin combination restores the function and vibrant appearance of your skin.

• Also included in this combination is Allantoin, which suppresses and encourages lightening of hormonal and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, and Licorice Root extract, which decreases inflammation caused by acne breakouts.

Directions

• After cleansing and lotion/toning, apply a small amount of AC&E HydraGel to the palm of your hands and massage onto the face and neck. This lightweight gel absorbs quickly and may be reapplied for added moisture.

Suitable for oily and combination skin types, particularly beneficial for acne-prone skin

Hydrate Plus 1fl.oz / 30 ml

$85.95 NZD

Rich in bioflavonoids, Vitamin E, and phospholipids, this vitamin-rich hydrating liquid repairs and protects the skin against free radicals, locks in moisture, and enhances the skin’s natural defenses. Just a tiny amount smoothes and moisturizes. Synergistic nutrients soothe irritation resulting from environmental pollutants, leaving you with supple, soft skin after application. Hydrate Plus also provides a radiant base for makeup application.

Key Ingredient Benefits:

• This hydrating liquid concentrate instantly balances the skin’s natural protective barrier, sealing in moisture and creating an excellent barrier against transepidermal water loss.
• Bioflavonoids are potent antioxidants that protect the skin from free radical damage. Combined with Tocopheryl Acetate, a form of Vitamin E and a natural skin conditioning agent, these two antioxidants protect and enhance the skin’s natural protective barrier.
• Phospholipids, derived from Lecithin, protect the dermal layer from external stressors by locking in moisture. Two key benefits of phospholipids in skin care are that they are hygroscopic – they attract water from the surrounding air and hold water where an increased level of hydration is needed – and nonocclusive, meaning they form a film to prevent water loss.

Directions

• Apply 2-3 drops over regular moisturizer or whenever skin feels dry. May be applied over day or night moisturizer or mixed into daily facial creme.

Suitable for dry and mature skin types

Retinol Recovery Crème 1.7fl.oz/50ml

$79.95 NZD

A true anti-aging potion in a bottle, Retinol Recovery Crème is a must for all skin types. Containing two forms of Vitamin A, as well as DMAE and Peptides, this silky, lightweight cream hydrates, revitalizes, and rebalances the skin. The addition of Resveratrol completes a potent line up of antioxidants and vitamin-rich ingredients, leaving your skin smooth and fresh after application.

Key Ingredient Benefits:

• Retinol Recovery Creme is infused with humectants and minerals in a soothing silicone base to help keep lipids close to the surface of the skin, offering hydration and skin revitalizing benefits.

• Retinol and Retinyl Palmitate, high-potency forms of Vitamin A, aid in cellular regeneration and cell strengthening, improving fine lines and giving the skin a youthful appearance.

• Resveratrol, an antioxidant with anti-aging benefits; Vitamin E; and Phyto Hyaluronic acid are combined to combat free-radical damage. DMAE (Dimethylaminoethanol) works synergistically with Resveratrol and other vitamins, helping to firm, smooth and brighten skin. Palmitoyl Tripeptide-3, a peptide, also assists by renewing and repairing the skin, improving elasticity and skin firmness.

• These combined agents create a powerful anti-aging and rejuvenating effect, increasing cellular turnover, repairing and restoring the skin’s natural defenses, resulting in a fresher, more youthful looking skin.

Directions

• After cleansing and lotion/toning, apply a small amount of Retinol Recovery Creme to the palm of your hands and massage onto the face and neck. If using a serum, apply Retinol Recovery Crème after serum application.

Suitable for all skin types, particularly beneficial for dry, mature, and pigmented skin (Note: for those who have never used any Vitamin A preparations on their skin previously, it is best to use this crème on alternative nights, and slowly increase the number of applications.)
