Malic and Tartaric Acid Complex: Complex of acids with lightening and anti-stain properties. It gives radiance to the skin, removing dead cells and promoting collagen production and cell renewal.

Jojoba, Mimosa, and Sunflower waxes: act as emollients, giving softness to the skin, and as repairing, protective and moisturizing active ingredients for dry and damaged skin.

Vitamin A: Vitamin A has an important anti-aging action, counteracting wrinkles, and dark spots, renewing fabrics and protecting against impurities and pollution.

Vitamin E: Powerful anti-free radical and anti-aging action, resulting in moisturizing and emollient on particularly dry skin. It prevents and smooths out wrinkles, making the skin compact and healthy.

Hyaluronic Acid: It promotes the physiological production of collagen, forming a microfilm capable of retaining water and promoting the natural hydration of the skin.

Reduced glutathione: Active that slows down the formation of melanin and therefore hyperpigmentation. It counteracts the formation of sunspots, thanks to its pivotal function as an antioxidant and anti-free radical.

Vitamin C (3-o-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid Sodium Ascorbic Phosphate): In two chemical forms, it has great antioxidant and lightening power. Used in combination with Reduced Glutathione, it improves skin tone, protects against pollution, affecting the complexion, smoothness, and firmness of the skin.  It also stimulates collagen production.

Zanthalene: Soothing and calming extract par excellence. A plant native to China, also known as Sichuan pepper. It also has a strong relaxing action on wrinkles.

Botanical extracts of Euphrasia, Hyssop and Cornflower: soothing and moisturizing

Here are the steps to correctly apply facial serum and get the best benefits:

  1. Cleanse your face: Start with clean skin. Use a cleanser suitable for your skin type and gently pat your face dry with a towel.
  2. Toner (optional): Apply a toner to balance the skin’s pH and prepare it to absorb the serum more effectively.
  3. Apply a few drops of serum: Usually, 2-3 drops are enough. Place the serum on your fingertips and gently rub them together to warm it slightly.
  4. Distribute the serum: Dab the serum onto your face with light motions, avoiding the eye area. Focus on the cheeks, forehead, nose, and chin.
  5. Gently massage: Using circular motions from the center of the face outward, massage the serum into the skin until fully absorbed. You can also lightly tap it in to promote absorption.
  6. Moisturizer (after serum): Apply a moisturizer to lock in hydration. This step is important for providing an additional barrier to make the serum more effective.

CHARACTERISTICS OF DIFFERENT SKIN TYPES

The main types of facial skin can be classified based on their specific characteristics, such as the level of sebum, hydration and sensitivity. Here are the main skin categories:

  • Normal Skin
    • Balanced, neither too dry nor too oily.
    • Usually has a smooth, even texture with few to no visible imperfections.
    • Pores are small and barely visible.
  • Dry Skin
    • Lacks natural oils and moisture, which can make it appear rough or flaky.
    • Often sensitive, prone to cracks, roughness, and fine lines.
    • Small, barely visible pores.
    • Needs consistent hydration to stay soft and comfortable.
  • Oily Skin
    • Has high sebum production, resulting in a shiny appearance, especially in the T-zone (forehead, nose, and chin).
    • Visible, often enlarged pores.
    • Prone to imperfections such as blackheads and acne.
  • Combination Skin
    • A mix of dry and oily skin: the T-zone tends to be oilier, while the cheeks may be dry or normal.
    • Enlarged pores in the T-zone but smaller, less visible pores elsewhere.
    • Requires a balanced skincare routine to address different needs in different areas.
  • Sensitive Skin
    • Easily irritated, showing redness, itching, or a burning sensation.
    • Can react to certain products, climate changes, or other environmental factors.
    • Needs gentle products free from harsh irritants.

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN ASIAN SKINS AND EUROPEAN SKINS

There are some structural and functional differences between the skin of people of European and Asian descent, linked to genetic and environmental factors. Here are the main differences:

  • Skin Thickness
    • In general, Asian skin tends to have a thinner outer layer (stratum corneum) than European skin but a slightly thicker dermis. This often makes Asian skin softer and smoother but also more prone to sensitivity and irritation.
  • Sensitivity and Reactivity
    • Asian skin is often more sensitive and reactive, tending to develop redness, irritation, or reactions to products more easily. This is partly due to structural differences and a lower lipid content, which can weaken the protective barrier.
    • European skin, on average, is more resilient and better tolerates treatments and environmental changes, although fair-skinned individuals are more prone to sunburn.
  • Sebum Production and Acne
    • Asian skin tends to produce more sebum, especially in the T-zone, which can give it a shinier appearance. This can be beneficial in terms of natural protection and hydration, but it also makes Asian skin more prone to acne and blemishes.
    • Sebum production in European skin varies widely, with some people having oilier skin and others drier, depending on genetics.
  • Pigmentation and Aging
    • Asian skin tends to have a higher melanin content and generally shows signs of aging later than European skin. However, it is also more prone to hyperpigmentation, such as dark spots, especially when exposed to the sun.
    • European skin, especially lighter skin, may show signs of aging, such as wrinkles and fine lines, earlier than Asian skin. In addition, Europeans may have a higher risk of sun damage and develop sunspots.
  • Hydration
    • Asian skin can lose moisture faster due to the thinner outer layer, meaning it often needs more frequent moisturizing.
    • European skin can retain natural hydration better, though this varies depending on skin type and climate.

In summary, while there are general genetic differences between Asian and European skin, skincare is highly personalized and also depends on individual factors like skin type, lifestyle, and environment.

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN AMERICAN SKINS AND EUROPEAN SKINS

Actually, the differences in skin between Europeans and Americans aren’t as clear-cut as those between people of European and Asian descent. American skin is highly diverse because the United States and the Americas in general have a very heterogeneous population, including people of European, African, Asian, and Latin American descent. This genetic diversity means there’s a wide variety of skin characteristics among Americans.

However, here are some factors that can influence skin differences between Americans and Europeans:

  1. Environmental Exposure

   – The United States and Latin America span a broad range of climates and altitudes, from very sunny areas like California and the Southwest to northern and humid regions. This environmental exposure can impact the skin, leading to different skincare needs compared to Europeans who live in more temperate climates.

   – In Europe, climate variations are less extreme, but there is still a difference between the north and south, affecting the prevalence of photoaging and the common skin types found in each area.

  1. Genetic Diversity

   – The American population is extremely diverse, with a high level of genetic mixing. For this reason, it’s harder to pinpoint “typical” skin characteristics for Americans. Some ethnic groups in the U.S. may have oilier skin, others drier skin, and still others may be more prone to hyperpigmentation or wrinkles.

   – In Europe, while there is some ethnic diversity, the differences aren’t as pronounced as in the U.S. European skin is often lighter-toned, with higher prevalence of sun-sensitive skin in northern countries compared to Mediterranean regions.

  1. Lifestyle and Skincare Habits

   – Americans tend to use a wide range of cosmetic products and often follow more structured skincare routines, influenced by Asian and Korean skincare trends. These routines may include intense moisturization, sun protection, and specific anti-aging treatments.

   – In Europe, there are cultural differences in skincare routines, with some countries emphasizing natural and organic products more. Sun protection is an increasing priority but, on average, may be less emphasized than in the U.S.

In summary, there are no general biological differences between “European” and “American” skin because skin type varies more according to ethnicity, climate, and lifestyle than nationality.
