Skintastic Cosmeceuticals Skintastic 20% Niacinamide Face Serum With Hyaluronic AcidIngredients explained

(20%) Niacinamide - superstar

Also-called: vitamin B3, nicotinamide | What-it-does: cell-communicating ingredient, skin brightening, anti-acne, moisturizer/humectant

  • A multi-functional skincare superstar with several proven benefits for the skin

  • Great anti-aging, wrinkle smoothing ingredient used at 4-5% concentration

  • Fades brown spots alone or in combination with amino sugar, acetyl glucosamine

  • Increases ceramide synthesis that results in a stronger, healthier skin barrier and better skin hydration

  • Can help to improve several skin conditions including acne, rosacea, and atopic dermatitis

Hyaluronic Acid (1.5%) - goodie

What-it-does: skin-identical ingredient, moisturizer/humectant

  • It’s naturally in our skin and behaves there like a sponge

  • It can bind up to 1000 times its own weight in water

  • It is a big molecule from repeated subunits (polymer) so different molecular weight versions exist (unfortunately there is no way to determine MW from INCI list only)

  • High-molecular-weight-HA (>500 kDa) is an excellent surface hydrator, skin protectant and can act as an osmotic pump helping water-soluble actives to penetrate deeper into the skin

  • Low-molecular-weight-HA (< 500 kDa) can hydrate the skin somewhat deeper though it is still a big molecule and works mainly in the epidermis (outer layer of the skin)

  • Low-molecular-weight-HA might also help the skin to repair itself by increasing its self-defense (~ 200kDa used in the study)

  • Ultra-low-molecular-weight-HA (<50kDa) is a controversial ingredient and might work as a pro-inflammatory signal molecule

Optiphen Plus

This is a trade name with the following INCI listing: Phenoxyethanol, Caprylyl Glycol, Sorbic Acid

Phenoxyethanol

What-it-does: preservative

It’s pretty much the current IT-preservative. It’s safe and gentle, but even more importantly, it’s not a feared-by-everyone-mostly-without-scientific-reason paraben.

It’s not something new: it was introduced around 1950 and today it can be used up to 1% worldwide. It can be found in nature - in green tea - but the version used in cosmetics is synthetic.

Caprylyl Glycol

What-it-does: moisturizer/humectant, emollient, deodorant

It’s a handy multi-tasking ingredient that gives the skin a nice, soft feel. At the same time, it also boosts the effectiveness of other preservatives, such as the nowadays super commonly used phenoxyethanol.

The blend of these two (caprylyl glycol + phenoxyethanol) is called Optiphen, which not only helps to keep your cosmetics free from nasty things for a long time but also gives a good feel to the finished product. It's a popular duo.

Sorbic Acid

What-it-does: preservative

A mild, natural preservative that usually comes to the formula together with its other mild preservative friends, such as Benzoic Acid and/or Dehydroacetic Acid. Btw, it's also used as a food preservative.

Skintastic Cosmeceuticals Skintastic 30% Glycolic Acid Face Peel For Wrinkles - Anti-agingIngredients explained

30%

This ingredient name is not according to the INCI-standard. :( What, why?!

Glycolic Acid - superstar

What-it-does: exfoliant, buffering

  • It’s the most researched AHA with the most proven skin benefits

  • It gently lifts off dead skin cells to reveal newer, fresher, smoother skin

  • It can help skin’s own collagen production that results in firmer, younger skin

  • It can fade brown spots caused by sun damage or PIH

  • Choose a product where you know the concentration and pH value because these two greatly influence effectiveness

  • Don’t forget to use your sunscreen (in any case but especially so next to an AHA product)

  • Slight stinging or burning with a stronger AHA product is normal

  • If your skin is very sensitive, rosacea prone choose rather a BHA or PHA product

Deionized Water (1.5%)

Also-called: Aqua;Water | What-it-does: solvent

Good old water, aka H2O. The most common skincare ingredient of all. You can usually find it right in the very first spot of the ingredient list, meaning it’s the biggest thing out of all the stuff that makes up the product.

It’s mainly a solvent for ingredients that do not like to dissolve in oils but rather in water.

Skintastic Cosmeceuticals 20% Argireline Line Busting Face Serum With Hyaluronic AcidIngredients explained

Argireline (20%)

This is a trade name with the following INCI listing: Water, Acetyl Hexapeptide-8, Sodium Benzoate

The trade name for the famous, "Botox-like" peptide, Acetyl Hexapeptide-8.

Water

Also-called: Aqua | What-it-does: solvent

Good old water, aka H2O. The most common skincare ingredient of all. You can usually find it right in the very first spot of the ingredient list, meaning it’s the biggest thing out of all the stuff that makes up the product.

Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 - goodie

Also-called: Argireline, Acetyl Hexapeptide-3 | What-it-does: cell-communicating ingredient, moisturizer/humectant

If you see a cosmetic product that claims that it has "Botox-like effect" then two things are almost certain: one, the product overpromises and two, it contains Argireline.

So this one is the famous peptide that's marketed by its manufacturer as the "Botox in a jar". The basis for this claim is that it targets the same wrinkle forming mechanism (wrinkles caused by facial muscle movement) as Botox, but the way it works is very different. In addition, the extent to which it can prevent muscles from contracting (and to smooth wrinkles) is very different (otherwise why would anyone use still Botox?).

Sodium Benzoate

What-it-does: preservative

A helper ingredient that helps to make the products stay nice longer, aka preservative. It works mainly against fungi.

It’s pH dependent and works best at acidic pH levels (3-5). It’s not strong enough to be used in itself so it’s always combined with something else, often with potassium sorbate.

Hyaluronic Acid (1.5%) - goodie

What-it-does: skin-identical ingredient, moisturizer/humectant

  • It’s naturally in our skin and behaves there like a sponge

  • It can bind up to 1000 times its own weight in water
