We choose actives for what they're proven to do — not for how they sound on a label.
A potent antioxidant that brightens skin, fades early pigmentation, and supports collagen production. Best applied in the morning, under sunscreen, where it also helps defend against environmental stress.
A form of Vitamin B3 that regulates oil production, minimizes the look of pores, and calms redness. Gentle enough for daily use, even on sensitive or acne-prone skin.
An oil-soluble exfoliant that gets deep into pores to clear out oil and dead skin — the reason it's a go-to for acne and blackheads. Used at low, skin-safe concentrations for regular use.
A humectant that can hold many times its weight in water, drawing moisture into the skin's surface. Works for every skin type, including oily — hydration is not the same as oiliness.
