This week on The Skin Edit, we're reviewing 6 key moisturizing, breakout-fighting, and anti-inflammatory ingredients used in our Perfector Serum. Perfector is our essential breakout and irritation fighting serum that can be used morning and night all over the face or as a spot treatment for breakout-prone areas.
Hyaluronic Acid
A lightweight and effective humectant that pulls moisture into the skin. It feels cool to the touch and is non-greasy and won't clog your pores. It's great at preventing crusty or dry patches from appearing around a breakout.
Calendula
Derived from marigolds, calendula is a powerful natural anti-inflammatory and antibacterial. It eases swelling and fights breakout-causing bacteria while remaining gentle on the skin.
Aloe Vera
Well known for its cooling and soothing properties, aloe is commonly used to treat sunburns. It's also deeply hydrating, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory. Its naturally occurring peptides promote collagen synthesis, leaving your skin feeling strong and healthy.
Probiotic Ferment
Provides the skin with healthy bacteria to balance the microbiome and fight acne-causing bacteria. It's gentle on skin and is effective at calming inflammation.
Hydrolyzed Rice Protein
Rich in glutamic and aspartic acids, powerful amino acids that hydrate, balance oil production, and smooth rough texture. This ingredient is especially beneficial for those with eczema, acne, or other sensitizing skin conditions.
Willow Bark Extract
A natural, gentler alternative to salicylic acid, willow bark extract uses BHAs to exfoliate the skin and unclog pores without causing irritation. It's also a natural source of antioxidants, making it an essential ingredient for anyone struggling with breakouts or irritation.
