Ingredients

Hyaluronic Acid

Hyaluronic Acid

Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring carbohydrate that is found in almost every tissue the human body. It is one of the most powerful humectants found in nature and aids in reducing transepidermal water loss (TEWL) when applied topically to skin. Hyaluronic acid contributes to a plumping effect and augments the smoothing effect of the peptides.

Advanced Peptides

Advanced Peptides

Peptides are amino acids that build proteins (collagen, elastin) essential for skin health. When applied topically to the skin, peptides trigger skin cells to perform specific functions such as building collagen and elastin. An increased production of these proteins provide powerful age-softening properties by increasing skins elasticity and firmness and reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. Quannessence Skincare uses a multitude of different peptides, all with varied functions, to encourage skin health and vitality.

Niacinamide

Niacinamide

Niacinamide is the physiologically active form of niacin (vitamin B3), an effective, active ingredient with an extraordinary breadth of cutaneous benefits. Aging fibroblasts secrete less collagen than young cells, and topically applied niacinamide has been shown to stimulate new collagen synthesis. Niacinamide can cause vasodilation of cutaneous tissues resulting in increased blood flow and a warm, tingly feeling.
