[REVIEW] So natural Red Peel Tingle Serum (Before and After) — DEWILDESALHAB武士

🩸In-Depth Details Of Interesting Ingredients:

Glycolic Acid + Lactic Acid + Citric Acid: All forms of AHA (Alpha Hydroxy Acid), which is a class of acids that reduce cell adhesion in the top layer of the skin (decrease cellular bond between corneocytes) which leads to an exfoliating effect. AHAs have also been shown to increase the production of mucopolysaccharides and collagen in the skin. [ Anti-Acne + Anti-Aging + Brightening ]

Glycerine: Widely used as a quality Hydrator (occurs naturally in the skin and its chemical structure attracts water). You can find this ingredient in most good skin-replenishing products.

Gaultheria Procumbens (Wintergreen) Leaf Extract: 🔴[Not enough research] A company named Alban Muller has created an ingredient derived from Wintergreen which supposedly contains natural pure salicylic acid molecule which ‘‘helps promote the elimination of dead cells and smoothes imperfections and wrinkles.’’ [Source]

Gardenia Jasminoides Fruit Extract: 🔴[Not enough research] Antioxidant + Used as fragrant component (might be sensitizing)

Vaccinium Myrtillus Fruit Extract: Antioxidant (Anthocyanins + Polyphenols) + Potentially calming properties (reduces redness) + Potentially Reduces signs of UVA-induced oxidative stress (Note that UVA-induced stress greatly contributes to premature skin aging)

Rubus Idaeus (Raspberry) Fruit Extract: Antioxidant (Vitamin C, beta-carotene, glutathione, quercetin, and vitamin E) + Prevents hyper-pigmentation (Inhibits Melanin forming activity of Tyrosinase)

Portulaca Oleracea Extract: Antioxidant (high amounts of Vitamins A and C) + Wound-healing (Decreases surface area of the wound and increases tensile strength to ‘seal’ wound) + Anti-inflammatory (diminishes inflammatory response pathway)

Rubus Fruticosus (Blackberry) Fruit Extract: Anti-Aging (Reduces production of enzymes that break down collagen) + Antioxidant (Scavenges free radicals)

Phyllanthus Emblica Fruit Extract: Antioxidant + Chelating

Euterpe Oleracea Fruit Extract (Acai): Antioxidant (Flavonoids + polyphenols + Anthocyanins) + Vitamins A, C and E are all present in the fruit, but little research has been made on them in Acai (keep in mind that molecular forms and stability/penetrability/quality of these vitamins vary, so even if an ingredient contains them, it doesn’t always mean it actually does something when topically applied)

Glycine Soja (Soybean) Oil: 🔴[Not enough research] Most data on soybean stems from that accumulated on Glycine Soja Sprout Extract + Glycine Soja Seed Extract which is: Anti-inflammatory (flavonoids) + Anti-Aging (Elastin and collagen stimulating effects) + Photoprotection (Polyphenols). The oil itself has some emollient and antioxidative compounds, but is not researched enough to really state anything solid.

Sodium Hyaluronate : Hydrating (water binding properties) + Wound healing (promotes micro circulation)

Ceramide NP : ‘‘This lipid prevents the epidermis, or the top layer of the skin, from losing moisture. When people experience dry skin, it is because of a loss of ceramides in the skin, which can also cause itching, flaking, peeling, and scaling.’’
