The Doyenne

KEY INGREDIENTS:

Vitamin A Palmitate: The gentlest form of Retinol. Making it safe for sensitive skin. The way this Retinol works, think of it as it being wrapped in protective covering (think of this as it being packaged in bubble wrap) and only being unwrapped once the Retinol is deep down in the dermis to where it is than released and can actually get to work. The reason this is safe for sensitive skin is because it doesn’t start work until it’s deep into the dermis where actual change can happen for the skin. When it bypasses the surface you limit irritation, flakiness and any purging. This is what they call (time release technology) because right prolong the time between the product hitting your skin and when it starts working.

Niacinamide: is a form of Vitamin B3, it’s famous for helping to repair the skin barrier, minimize pore appearance, and fills in fine lines and wrinkles while also helping with acne. Truly a super star ingredient you’ll often see this paired with other active ingredients for its soothing abilities. Helping with regulating oil production is what makes a great go to for acne prone skin types / breaking out.

Grapeseed Oil: made from grapeseeds. It’s great for skincare because it’s high in what is called “Linoleic Acid” which helps strengthen the skin barrier - it reduces redness and inflammation caused by breakouts.
Grapeseed oil contains Vitamin E- this is great for reducing inflammation and also to hydrate the skin helping plum fine lines and wrinkles. Moreover, it is a great decongestant because it has antimicrobial properties that help clear and prevent acne by gently removing excess sebum and dead skin cells. Grapeseeod oil contains antioxidants as well which help with pigmentation and boost collagen production (what keeps your skin looking plump! :) )
