Vasco-constructive

Causes narrowing of the blood vessels/capillaries.

Vasco-dilator

Causes expansion of the blood vessels/capillaries.

Vitamin B5 (Panthenol)

Powerful humectant with strong healing properties.

Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine Dipalmitate)

Acts as a sebo-regulating agent that reduces sebum and inhibits the enzyme DHT that is responsible for excess sebum.  Prevents the formation of comedones.

Vitamin C Ester (Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate)

One of the latest, most stable, bioavailable forms of oil-soluble Vitamin C ester that has excellent penetration into the skin.  Tested and found to be a highly effective antioxidant and an MMP inhibitor.  MMP, matrix metalloproteases, are enzymes called collagenase and elastase that break down collagen and are responsible for elasticity loss.  Clinical studies have shown it increases fibroblast activity and aids in the acceleration of collagen synthesis.  It clarifies and brightens the skin by inhibiting melanin.  New tests have shown that this form of Vitamin C protects DNA.  It helps in the prevention of UV induced cell damage.

Vitamin E (Tocopherol Acetate)

Considered the most important oil-soluble antioxidant as it protects the cell’s membrane and intercellular lipids from free radical damage.

Vitamin K

Known as Phytonadione, shown to strengthen capillary walls that increase contraction to push the ‘pooling blood’ through the capillary, minimizing them.
