Enhanced with anti-pollution benefits, it works as an anti-pollution defense shield against skin inflammation and oxidative stress to prevent premature ageing.

COSMOS-certified 10% Alkaline Amino Acid Extract: Derived from Acorn Squash Seeds, its quick desensitising action soothes away neurogenic inflammation and limits the skin reactivity with clinically proven results.
When used 3 times daily, a high dose of the alkaline amino extract is able to reduce erythema, a skin rash or reaction caused by injured or inflamed blood capillaries, by up to 60% in an hour. This is further reduced by 70% in three hours. An in-vivo test of 20 women has also shown significant reduction in overall skin sensitivity of more than 24% within seven days of daily use, and more than 42% within 14 days of once-daily use.
French Polynesia Alteromonas Ferment Extract: A highly purified, blue technology marine exopolysaccharide originating from the French Polynesia, works as an anti-pollution defense shield against skin inflammation that also reduces free radical activity and defends skin by chelating heavy metals, effectively shielding the skin against oxidative stress and building up the skin’s resistance against external aggressions and sun damage.
Hydrolysed Yeast Protein: A prebiotic that helps support and maintain a healthy and balanced microbiome ecosystem. Perpetuating the production of key skin lipids, including ceramides, to speed up the recovery of the skin’s natural protective barrier, it also helps to reduce inflammation caused by pathogenic bacteria, and improve overall skin hydration.
Sodium Hyaluronate: Proven to be able to reach deep into the skin all thanks to its small molecular size to mix with, attract, and retain water, it also promotes skin microcirculation and helps maintain normal metabolism and nutrient absorption, resulting in a more hydrated and youthful appearance with softer and smoother skin.
