niacinamide - very effective skin-restoring ingredient that offers multiple benefits for aging skin. Among these benefits is the ability to visibly improve the appearance of enlarged pores, uneven skin tone, fine lines, dullness, and helps improve the overall appearance of the skin.
1,3 propanedial - moisturizes the skin and helps alleviate the greasiness some may find that glycerin causes
glycerin - hydrates and locks in moisture
calendula extract - provides anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, astringent, soothing, healing and protecting effects to skin.
liquid germall plus - preserves product
hyaluronic acid (1 - 1.5 million daltons) - helps plump, hydrate, and make skin more youthful and healthy. HA is the natural gel between skin cells that serves as a water reservoir for the cells. As we age, skin loses hyaluronic acid and the ability to hold sufficient water in this reservoir. Feeding new hyaluronic acid to skin may help hydrate skin's inter-cellular reservoir, raising skin's moisture level, and smoothing down age lines.
