I've chosen this shower oil for you to help manage your dry skin. The formula contains a patented blend of ingredients which are proven to support the skin's natural barrier by forming a protective film on the skin.

Glycerin is a humectant present in all natural lipids. It works to attract water molecules towards it, plumping & hydrating the applied area, resulting in smooth, soft, hydrated skin. It is one of the most widely used humectants in skincare, due to it’s high performance and broad availability (making it very cost-effective). Recent research has shown that it’s ability to penetrate the layers of the skin is superior to that of low molecular weight hyaluronic acid, making it a brilliant choice for overall skin hydration, and suitable for all skin types.

Niacinamide, also known as Vitamin B3 and Nicotinamide, has many skincare benefits. Firstly, it regulates sebum production in the skin, which in turn reduces blemishes and visible pore size. It also reduces facial redness by improving microcirculation, which means moving the blood inside the capillaries away from the face to reduce visible redness. It also has the ability to strengthen the natural lipid barrier of the skin by encouraging ceramide production (the building blocks which seal our skin cells together), which in turn increases the hydration within the epidermis. Lastly, niacinamide works to help reduce hyperpigmentation by blocking melanin from being deposited on the skin cells.

niacinamide

Rhamnose is a naturally occurring sugar found in plant sources such as buckthorn and birch. Studies have shown that it’s molecular size and structure allows it to penetrate to the area between the base of the epidermis and the top of the dermis, known as the ‘dermo-epidermal junction’. This is important as this is where the fibroblasts are situated, which produce the key skin proteins collagen and elastin, which contribute to overall skin structure & firmness. In vivo studies (on humans) from the manufacturers have shown that applying a product including rhamnose once daily for 8 weeks resulting in an increase in collagen production, and a decrease in overall wrinkle depth.

rhamnose

Prebiotics in simple terms, can be classed as a food source that encourages the growth of good bacteria on the skin. The microbiome (the ecosystem of bacteria on the skin) is a relatively new discovery and we are learning that this is linked to many different aspects of our health, mood and appearance. A diverse breadth in the strains of bacteria living on the skin results in a healthy microbiome, and some early research has linked certain imbalances in this microbiome to skin conditions such as acne, ezcema and psoriasis.

Tocopherol, aka Vitamin E, is a fat-soluble Vitamin contained in many plant oils, or can also be produced synthetically. Vitamin E is found naturally in our own skin, and it’s main benefit is to offer powerful antioxidant protection against pollution and free radical damage. It also helps to support our skin’s natural lipid barrier, which in turn improves the hydration levels within the epidermis, as water loss through the skin is minimised.

I have chosen this award-winning body balm for you to soothe dry, irritated skin. It includes a range of soothing and barrier supporting ingredients to reduce irritation and bring the skin barrier back to health.

ceramide blend (ceramide np, ceramide 3, ceramide EOP, ceramide EOS, ceramide NS, ceramide AP)

Ceramides are long chains of lipids, which occur naturally within the epidermis. Their function is to hold the skin cells together by creating a barrier against water-loss from the inside-out, and external aggressors from the outside-in. They make up almost 50% of our skins composition, but they can be depleted by UV, free radicals & pollution, and their production also naturally slows with age. This leads to an impaired skin barrier, which results in dry, rough skin with more visible wrinkling and redness. Applying ceramides topically can increase the levels of ceramides in the epidermis, and therefore supports the natural healthy functioning of the skin.

Cholesterol is a fatty acid which occurs naturally in the skin’s lipid barrier. Applying cholesterol topically supports the skin barrier, reducing trans-epidermal water loss (TEWL), and maintaining healthy skin functioning. Strengthening this lipid barrier also leads to improved skin hydration, which in turn leads to smoother, plumper, younger-looking skin.

cholesterol

Our outer layer of the skin, the stratum corneum, has a multilamellar structure (essentially a fine membrane), made up of lipids (fats), to form a non-permeable barrier. This keeps water inside the skin, and acts as the first defense against external aggressors. The lipids which make up the majority of this are known as ceramides, which are produced naturally in the body from a range of other naturally-occurring lipids, which we class here as essential lipids (not the same as essential fatty acids, which are deemed ‘essential’ as the body cannot produce these naturally.) Using these lipids in skincare helps to support the natural skin barrier, preventing water-loss to keep skin hydrated and balanced.

Sunflower oil is a rich natural source of Vitamin E, a skin-moisturising antioxidant. This oil is also rich in linoleic acid (Omega 6), an essential fatty acid which works to nourish the skin, support the natural barrier, and provide some anti-inflammatory benefits.

sunflower oil

Tocopheryl acetate is a specific form of the fat-soluble Vitamin E, with improved stability vs. Tocopherol. Vitamin E is found naturally in our own skin, and it’s main benefit is to offer powerful antioxidant protection against pollution and free radical damage. It also helps to support our skin’s natural lipid barrier, which in turn improves the hydration levels within the epidermis, as water loss through the skin is minimised.

This SPF is a great option for dry, irritated, or sensitized skin. I have chosen this for you to soothe the skin whilst providing daily UV protection.

Asiatic acid is one of the active constituents found in Centella Asiatica (also known as Gotu Kola or Tiger grass). This plant has been used for centuries in Eastern medicine for it’s healing properties.

asiatic acid

Centella Asiatica (also known as Gotu Kola or Tiger grass) has been used for centuries in Eastern medicine for its healing properties. It contains phytochemicals which research shows can stimulate blood flow, strengthen the skin and provide antioxidant protection, all of which combined accelerate the wound healing process.

It is also believed to have the ability to stimulate the fibroblasts to produce type 1 collagen, which further supports wound healing as well as providing anti-ageing benefits. Collagen is also a protein whose production decreases with age, and is essential for maintaining skin firmness & smoothness, so this collagen-boosting property gives the added benefit of reducing wrinkles and firming the skin. It has also been shown to stimulate the production of hyaluronic acid in the skin, another molecule whose production slows with age, but is essential for keeping skin looking hydrated, plump & youthful.

asiaticoside

Ectoin is an emollient used in skincare to help maintain moisture balance in the skin. New research shows it may also be able to protect against certain environmental aggressors, such as pollutants and UV. This is believed to be down to its antioxidant properties, as well as the ability to protect skin from dehydration from the surrounding environment.

madecassoside

Sodium hyaluronate is the sodium salt of hyaluronic acid (a polysaccharide which occurs naturally in the body), created to improve the ingredient stability. It works as an extremely powerful humectant, able to attract 1000x its own weight in water, to immediately plump and hydrate the area it is applied to. The body’s own production of hyaluronic acid slows with age, so supplementing this ingredient in topical formulations helps to support the skin’s natural moisture-binding, anti-ageing mechanisms.

vitis vinifera (grape) seed extract

Resveratrol in a polyphenol most famously found in the skin of red grapes, but also occurs naturally in peanuts and certain fruits such as blueberries and cranberries. It is included in skincare for its powerful antioxidant abilities - with research showing it can protect against free radicals, as well as oxidative damage caused by UV. 

Protect your complexion with Bioderma Cicabio Cream SPF50+, a soothing moisturiser that takes care of damaged skin in the sun.

I chose this moisturiser for you to balance your combination skin. It delivers deep hydration into the skin, with no heaviness or greasy feeling, so should leave your skin feeling perfectly plump and hydrated.

Apple extract is used in cosmetics for its antioxidant abilities, as it is very high in polyphenols. This means it is able to help protect the skin from free radical damage, one of the largest external factors which contributes to ageing of the skin (after UV light).

pyrus malus (apple) fruit extract

Salicylic acid is a beta hydroxy acid (BHA), which occurs naturally in willow bark. Salicylic acid works as an exfoliating acid to dissolve the keratin that binds the outermost layers of the skin, encouraging the natural exfoliation process of the skin.

Due to its oil-soluble form, salicylic acid can penetrate inside the pore, to clear out dead skin cell build up and prevent comedones (blocked pores) from occurring, or acne-causing bacteria to overpopulate within the pore. This P.Acnes bacteria is anaerobic so needs an oxygen-free environment to thrive, and thus require a pore to be blocked.

salicylic acid

Squalane is a natural substance usually derived from olives. It is structurally very similar to our skin’s own sebum, so is a great ingredient to support our own natural skin processes. In drier skin, which is naturally lacking in natural sebum, it helps to support the skin barrier to prevent water loss, which results in more hydrated, smooth and plump skin. Due to its sebum-mimicking structure, it is non-comedogenic, meaning it won’t cause breakouts, so is also suitable for oily and acne-prone skin. It can be a great option to reduce any over-stimulation of the sebaceous glands, which can occur with excess cleansing (and make breakouts worse). It also works to support the skin barrier to combat any drying effects caused by ingredients commonly associated with acne treatment, so is a great ingredient for all skin types.

ginkgo biloba leaf extract

Ginkgo Biloba is a tree native to Asia, one of the oldest plant species on the planet, and rich in flavonoids and terpenoids. These provide powerful antioxidant protection, reducing potential damage caused by reactive free radicals. Studies have also shown Gingko Biloba to provide skin-smoothing and hydrating properties. 

Glycolic acid is an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA), derived from sugar cane. AHAs work by dissolving the keratin binding the outermost layer of skin cells, speeding up the skin’s natural exfoliation process. This leads to smoother, brighter, clearer skin, whilst reducing skin discolouration & fine lines/wrinkles with continued use.

Glycolic acid has the smallest molecular weight of all the AHAs, meaning it can penetrate the skin quickest, producing the fastest results, but also most likely to cause skin sensitivity, so it is best for those with fairly tolerant skin types.

glycolic acid

laminaria ochroleuca extract

Algae is an incredibly interesting natural ingredient source. It is essentially an underwater plant, designed to get its food from sunlight, much like any other plants, although from much more challenging conditions. There are many types of algae (kelp, laminaria, microalgae), but in general in all its forms it acts as a powerful antioxidant, protecting from free radical damage, as well as being able to hydrate the skin and deliver naturally-occurring vitamins into the skin.

Keep skin safe in the sun with Bioderma Photoderm AKN Mat SPF30 Mattifying Fluid, a high protection sun lotion with long-lasting mattifying effect.

This is a great SPF option for you as it's specifically formulated for those looking to target hyperpigmentation. It contains 2% ascorbyl glucoside (a stable form of vitamin c), alongside antioxidant vitamin e, soothing centella asiatica and balancing prebiotics.

Ascorbyl Glucoside is a water-soluble derivative of Vitamin C. This derivative was created to provide improved stability and skin penetration vs. ascorbic acid alone. It is still unclear how well ascorbyl glucoside is converted into ascorbic acid (the active form of Vitamin C) within the body, but some of it will be lost during this conversion, making this less potent, and therefore requiring higher levels in the formulation in order to achieve great results.

ascorbyl glucoside

Vitamin C has many skin benefits, including its action as an antioxidant, to neutralise free radicals (reactive molecules with an unpaired electron), preventing them from causing damage to cells within the body. Vitamin C is also involved in the collagen-production process, so provides anti-wrinkle activity through this mechanism. Lastly, Vitamin C inhibits the enzyme tyrosinase, which is involved in melanin-synthesis, and can therefore visibly reduce areas of hyperpigmentation in the skin.

fructooligosaccharides

BIODERMA creates Photoderm SPOT-AGE SPF 50+ that combines the power of three active ingredients recognised by dermatologists [Vitamin C* - Vitamin E** - Centella asiatica] and solar filters for broad spectrum protection (UV - Visible Light - Infrared) and creates sun care that prevents and promotes the reduction of visible signs of photoageing (spots, wrinkles, loss of firmness).

This is a great SPF option which protects the skin daily from UV exposure, whilst also containing ingredients to target hyperpigmentation.

Glycyrrhetinic acid is an active constituent derived from liquorice, used in skincare for its anti-inflammatory benefits. It works by inhibiting the production of inflammatory substances, such as cortisone, within the body, with some research showing results to be comparable to prescription hydrocortisone cream.

glycyrrhetinic acid

Liquorice is a legume which grows in the Mediterranean, the Middle East & Russia. It contains the active constituent glabridin, which has been shown to prevent and reverse UV-induced skin damage, to provide visible skin-lightening properties to the skin.

Its second active component, Glycyrrhetinic acid is used in skincare for its anti-inflammatory benefits. It works by inhibiting the production of inflammatory substances, such as cortisone, within the body, with some research showing results to be comparable to prescription hydrocortisone cream.

glycyrrhiza glabra (licorice) root extract

Keep skin safe in the sun with Bioderma Photoderm Spot SPF50+ Cream, a very high protection sun lotion that helps to limit the appearance of hyperpigmentation while protecting scars.
Providing optimum UVA/UVB protection, the sunscreen expertly shields against harmful effects of the sun and delivers dual action purpose: photo protection and anti-brown spots. Waterproof and photostable, the SPF50+ formula contains a Cellular Bioprotection™ biological patent which activates skin's natural defences and protects against premature ageing, and Glabridin (derived from a liquorice extract) to inhibit pigmentation and the hyperpigmentation of scars. Shields against damaging UV rays while delivering an anti-mark effect to promote more even toned-looking skin.

This moisturiser is excellent at targeting blemish-prone skin. It includes acids to unblock pores, alongside anti-inflammatory ingredients to soothe, and mattifying powders to control oil production.

bakuchiol

Bakuchiol has been dubbed as ‘nature’s retinol’ due to its ability to achieve some of the same skin benefits (without the side effects). Studies have shown this plant active, when used twice daily, to result in visible improvements in wrinkle depth, skin smoothness, elasticity & uneven skin tone.

Citric acid (in dilution) is often used in tiny quantities to adjust the pH of a formula to be more acidic. In higher doses, it acts as an Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA), encouraging the skin’s natural exfoliation process to brighten, smooth and refine overall skin texture.

citric acid

Zinc gluconate is a mild acid produced from zinc and the sugar glucose. It is known to have antibacterial effects, and is used in skincare as a preservative to protect the user from harmful bacteria exposure, as well as potential imparting some anti-blemish effects via its antibacterial activity.

zinc gluconate

Zinc is known to regulate sebum production, as well as inhibit the growth of the P.Acnes bacteria to improve acne symptoms.

Bioderma’s Sebium line uses specialist FluidactivTM ingredient technology to help alter the composition of the skin’s sebum, which in turn helps to prevent the instances of breakouts and blackheads. One of the contributing factors in acne formation is sebum which is different in composition compared with that of healthy skin. Research shows that sebum in acneic skin typically contains less fatty acids and a higher concentration of squalene vs. non-acneic skin.
This innovative formula combines Bioderma’s Fluidactiv patent with bakuchiol to encourage the skin to produce sebum with the composition of healthy skin. In addition, alpha hydroxy acid esters, salicylic acid and citric acid work to exfoliate the top layer of the skin, and break down dead cells and sebum within the pore to decongest and reduce breakouts and blackheads. Zinc gluconate regulates sebum production to control sine, and enoxolone works to soothe the associated inflammation to calm any redness.
Clinical studies show that after 12 weeks of daily use of this product, blackheads are reduced by 65% and breakouts by 79%.

I have chosen this simple micellar water as your AM cleanse, or make-up removal step. It contains a sebum-regulating complex so is a great option for oiilier, blemish-prone skin types.

fomes officinalis (mushroom) extract

Mushroom extract is used in skincare to naturally brighten the skin and reduce hyperpigmentation. Studies have shown that compounds from specific mushroom types can inhibit tyrosinase activity (an enzyme involved in melanin synthesis), which in turn visibly minimises areas of hyperpigmentation.

Bioderma’s Sebium line uses specialist FluidactivTM ingredient technology to help alter the composition of the skin’s sebum, which in turn helps to prevent the instances of breakouts and blackheads. One of the contributing factors in acne formation is sebum which is different in composition compared with that of healthy skin. Research shows that sebum in acneic skin typically contains less fatty acids and a higher concentration of squalene vs. non-acneic skin.
This innovative formula uses patented FluidactivTM technology, which works to encourage the skin to produce sebum with the composition of healthy skin. The formula also contains agaric acid, an astringent ingredient which helps to refine overall skin texture and radiance, as well as mattifying powders to absorb excess oils and reduce shine. Salicylic acid helps to dissolve dead skin cell and sebum build up from within the pore, reducing congestion and preventing further breakouts. Clinical studies show that after 8 hours, the number of visible pores is reduced by 14%, and there is a 31% improvement in skin smoothness. On top of this, 84% agreed that skin was not shiny at the end of the day after use.

I have chosen this cooling eye gel for you to hydrate the delicate eye area, as well as reducing dark circles by encouraging the flow of lymph away from the eye.

Caffeine, derived from the coffee plant, is used in skincare as an antioxidant and a vasoconstricting agent. Its antioxidant properties help to protect against free radicals, neutralising them before they can cause damage to the skin cells. Its vasoconstricting abilities make it good for draining water retention from around the eye area, to reduce puff, and for reducing skin redness by constricting the capillaries whose dilation visually increases skin redness by passing blood closer to the skin’s surface.

caffeine
