What's actually doing the work
Hyaluronic Acid
Sodium Hyaluronate / HA / Multi-Weight HA
Acid
A glycosaminoglycan naturally present throughout the body, holding up to 1000x its weight in water. The most powerful naturally occurring humectant. Multi-weight HA (high, medium and low molecular weight) delivers hydration at different skin depths. Production declines significantly with age.
Green Tea Extract
EGCG / Epigallocatechin Gallate / Camellia Sinensis
Botanical
Rich in catechins, primarily EGCG — a potent free-radical scavenger, anti-inflammatory, and mild androgen receptor inhibitor relevant to sebum reduction. Topical EGCG reduces sebum, calms inflammatory acne, provides UV photoprotection, and inhibits MMP activity that degrades the dermal matrix.
