NAC Y²™
NAC Y²™ (N-acetylcysteine, Ascorbyl Phosphate and Aesculus Hippocastum Extract) is the groundbreaking ingredient formulated by Dr. Yannis to help his patients’ skin repair post trauma, accelerate healing time and boost clinical results. Responsible for producing the master antioxidant, glutathione, NAC Y²™ is a compound of amino acids derived from L-cysteine, that provides cellular immunity, regulates the balance between oxidants and antioxidants and neutralises the pathways involved in stress, illness and inflammatory conditions.
DIAMOND PEPTIDES
Due to environmental factors and the body’s natural ageing process, the skin’s own collagen production slows over the years. The skin’s essential building block, reduced levels of this amino acid makes the once plump and youthful epidermis appear thinner and more prone to fine lines. As collagen levels gradually lower, these protein-mimicking peptides are able to stimulate and reactivate its production.
HYALURONIC ACID
The body’s most powerful humectant molecule that occurs naturally in the skin, it gradually declines due to environmental factors and age. When applied topically, it penetrates readily and has the ability to attract and retain 1,000 times its weight in moisture, helping to bind water to collagen, trapping it in the skin and making the dermis appear plumper, dewier, and more hydrated as a result.
VITAMIN C
Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that protects the skin from UVA damage, stimulates collagen production and reduces the appearance of dark spots and hyperpigmentation, revealing brighter skin underneath. Just as consuming the ingredient protects your body, applying it as a topical treatment can protect your skin. As a brightening ingredient, vitamin C inhibits the production of pigment-producing tyrosinase to help skin tone appear more uniform with reduced redness and dark spots.
