Resveratrol, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, CoQ-10, Collagen, Aloe Vera,& Hyaluronic Acid
1. Hyaluronic Acid:
Hyaluronic acid, also known as HA, is a natural compound found in skin that has many important functions, including holding in moisture, providing cushioning, adding in tissue repair, and holding together the skin's structural components (collagen and elastin). Topical products containing hyaluronic acid are effective at moisturizing surface skin cells.
-Moisturizing: Hyaluronic acid holds moisture well-holding up to 1000 times its weight in water. Hyaluronic acid functions not only to deliver water to the skin, but also to hold it there.
-Wrinkles: The loss of natural hyaluronic acid is one of the primary causes of wrinkles, so the idea of putting HA back into the skin to repair wrinkles makes sense! By reducing wrinkles, your skin looks younger and evens out skin tone, making it look smooth and supple.
-Safety: Hyaluronic acid based products are considered highly safe.

2. Resveratrol:
In nature, resveratrol functions as part of a plant’s defensive arsenal. Resveratrol is an antimicrobial substance produced by plants in response to stress, infection, or strong UV radiation. In recent years, resveratrol in particular has become the subject of intense interest due to its powerful antioxidant and anti-aging properties.
It appears that resveratrol exerts its potent antioxidant effects on two distinct levels: (1) by scavenging existing free radicals and (2) by preventing their formation.
The antioxidant ability of resveratrol is known to be both potent and efficient. In fact, it has been shown to be greater than that of vitamins E and C. One study demonstrated that resveratrol was 95% efficient at preventing lipid peroxidation, compared to 65% for vitamin E and 37% for vitamin C.
Resveratrol is an antioxidant that acts to slow and stop the oxidation of other cells. Using our serums will promote youthful and rejuvenated skin!

3. CoQ-10 (Coenzyme Q):
CoQ10 can play a role in making skin look younger. CoQ10 levels decrease as you get older. Indeed, most women over thirty have below optimum levels of CoQ10 in the skin. The lack of CoQ10 results in an impeded ability to produce collagen and elastin. Collagen is important because it makes your skin firm, while elastin gives your skin flexibility. The loss of collagen and elastin causes your skin to wrinkle and sag.
CoQ10 also helps the skin by acting as a strong antioxidant. It helps to neutralize the harmful free radicals that are one of the major causes of aging. Thus, the age-related decline in CoQ10 also means your skin is more prone to damage by free radicals. The CoQ10 in our serum can penetrate deeply to provide antioxidants and help create collagen and elastin.

4. Vitamin C ( L-Ascorbic Acid):
Vitamin C is a powerful and effective antioxidant that protects us from free radicals that cause oxidative stress. Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that can help our damaged skin look younger and healthier!
- Is more concentrated than nutritional Vitamin C
- Is rapidly absorbed so it won't rub or wash off
- Allows for greater penetration to the skin for greater benefit
- Neutralizes free radical damage
- Helps moisturize and increase skin hydration
- Stimulates collagen production and restores elasticity
- Prevents premature skin aging
- Decreases fine lines and wrinkles
- Lightens and brightens the skin for a more even skin tone
Vitamin C is used in skin care as a strong antioxidant AND promotes collagen production, which subsequently plumps the skin and allows your natural radiance and smoothness to shine!
Vitamin C is a prime ingredient of collagen, the substance that binds cells together. Collagen metabolism and production are key attributes of healthy, radiant, younger looking skin. Collagen, in fact, depends on vitamin C, which implies the vitamin's importance to healthy, attractive skin. Stable collagen production fights wrinkles, and ensures evenness in the skin's tone and texture.
Vitamin C's function as an antioxidant also benefits the skin, as it is able to protect the skin from damaging free radicals.

5. Vitamin E:
Vitamin E is the generic name for “tocopherol” and is available in four different forms.
The beauty benefits of vitamin E come from its antioxidant properties. Antioxidants remove free radicals — the unstable compounds that damage the cell structure.
Vitamin E can also be used to reduce the appearance of scars, acne, and wrinkles because it speeds up cell regeneration. This creates an anti-aging effect, which makes the skin look younger.
Vitamin E benefits the skin by helping it retain its natural moisture content. Vitamin E makes dull-looking, dry skin look healthier and fresher!

6. Collagen:
Collagen acts like a cushion for the skin, helping it look strong, healthy, and silky. It improves the skin’s elasticity, which provides finesse, beauty, and freshness.
-----------------
7. Aloe Vera:
Aloe vera is a great moisturizer and provides a cool and refreshing feeling when applied to your skin. It has antioxidant properties and supports skin cell regeneration, which helps reduce the appearance of facial blemishes, such as acne scars!
It also moisturizes your skin without leaving any greasy residue, even for oily skin! Aloe Vera reduces inflammation and helps naturally firms your skin, helping you look and feel younger!
Directions
Apply twice a day, once in the morning before your normal moisturizing routine and again in the evening to a cleansed face. Follow with moisturizer and sunscreen. As the serum is concentrated, only a small amount is needed. Refrigerator storage is recommended.
