KATE SOMERVILLE Dermal Quench Wrinkle Warrior

Description

What it is:

A cream with a fragrance of Lavender and Tea Tree essential oils that instantly plumps and significantly hydrates skin for a visibly smoother appearance.

What it does:

This cream visibly reduces the appearance of three different types of wrinkles – crow’s feet, fine lines and coarse wrinkles – by improving the appearance of your skin’s firmness and elasticity. Salicylic Acid (2% – maximum strength) exfoliates dead surface skin cells, unclogs pores and helps reduce and prevent acne blemishes. Retinyl Propionate (a form of retinol) helps even skin tone and smoothen the appearance of the skin’s texture. A combination of Sea Water, Laminaria Digitata Extract (brown seaweed) and Chlorella Vulgaris Extract (green micro-algae) feeds the good/friendly bacteria at the expense of the bad bacteria naturally present in one’s microbiome (a collective of all the microbiota on the human body) to help balance the skin.

What else you need to know:

• HA³ Complex – three different molecular sizes of Hyaluronic Acid target various layers of the epidermis: The largest sized molecule  is highly hygroscopic (absorbs water) and provides a water reservoir at the skin surface where it attracts water, making it an excellent moisturiser. The in-between sized molecule rejuvenates the skin by improving viscoelastic properties and significantly decreases the appearance of deep wrinkles. The mini-sized molecule provides instant penetration and is easily absorbed into the skin, allowing for excellent hydration in the deeper layers of the epidermis. Wrinkle-relaxing PFC-Oxygen Carriers deliver an infusion of oxygen that increases volume and helps reduce the appearance of wrinkles. Polyglutamic Acid and Sodium Polyglutamate increase skin moisturisation 4 times better than HA (hyaluronic acid) alone.
• Does not contain sulphur.
• This contains salicylic acid, one of Sephora’s super ingredients.
