Retinol 

 

Beauty sleep in a bottle. This vitamin A derivative is a pro-ageing multitasker. Reduce the appearance of sun damage, fine lines and wrinkles while brightening the skin. Retinol keeps you looking fresh because it accelerates the turnover of dead skin cells, making way for younger cells. This encourages firmer skin while removing the buildup of dead cells. Less hyperpigmentation, wrinkles and acne, more collagen production, smooth and fresh skin. 

 

One liner: A powerful, multitasking ingredient that brightens skin and reduces the appearance of fine lines and sun damage.

 

 

 

Hyaluronic acid

 

There’s hydrators and then there’s hyaluronic acid: the hero in Eseí products. This skincare staple binds and pulls moisture from the environment meaning it works hard to keep your skin hydrated for longer. Hyaluronic acid is a big drink for your skin. The powerhouse ingredient can hold a lot of moisture — 1,000x its own weight, in fact. The molecule is naturally occuring in the body and diminishes as we age. Give your skin a big glass of water every day with a high quality hyaluronic acid serum. Increase skin elasticity, reduce inflammation and scarring, and set a solid foundation for your best skin. If you have one goal for your skincare, make it maximum hydration. After all, bouncy, hydrated skin is your ticket to radiating day in, day out. 

 

One-liner: Hydrate your way to glowing skin with this plumper that helps your skin stretch and flex.

 

 

Niacinamide 

 

Vitamin B3 is powerful and nourishing. Niacinamide keeps your skin hydrated for longer as it repairs the barrier of natural oils — ceramides — that protect you from dehydration, UV damage, and environmental stress. The vitamin also brightens complexion, balances oil production and reduces pore size meaning you can take your skin to the next level, naturally. This vitamin is suitable for most skin types — including sensitive — so it’s a strong basis in any skincare routine. Pro-ageing, brightening and repairing all in one — this winning vitamin can make you more comfortable in the skin you’re in. 

 

One-liner: A skincare staple. Powerful and nourishing Vitamin B3 to repair, protect and reduce skin inflammation. 

 

Hyaluronic Acid and Niacinamide

 

An iconic team. Brush off dullness, dehydration, UV damage and inflammation with these scientifically-proven multitaskers. Together, the benefits are more than the sum of their parts. As we mature, our body’s own levels of hyaluronic acid diminish. So, giving them a topical boost stimulates our own production and serves fresh and comfortable skin.

Niacinamide is another essential for almost any skin type. Anti-inflammatory, hydrating, brightening and repairing. When you combine the two, you get hydrated skin cells and protection at the skin barrier. It’s pillow skin: smooth, bouncy and plump. 

 

One-liner: A deeply hydrating power combo that plumps as it repairs. Rebuild and draw moisture to the skin barrier all at once. 

 

 

Hyaluronic Acid and Retinol

 

One of the best skincare combinations for plumper, smoother skin. Retinol is proven to increase skin collagen production and reduce fine lines and wrinkles. The vitamin A derivative keeps you looking fresh because it accelerates the turnover of dead skin cells, making way for younger cells. Hyaluronic acid transfers water from the environment and draws it into the skin. Unlike other acids, it doesn’t exfoliate, but deeply hydrates. Together, they’re a pro-ageing powerhouse that produces plump, glowing skin with enviable texture. As fresh as a sea breeze on a hot day. 

 

One-liner: Brighter, clearer, smoother skin that’s also nourished. 

 

 

Cucumis Sativus (Cucumber) Fruit Extract 

 

The scientific equivalent of placing cucumber slices over your eyes. Cucumber Fruit Extract has vitamins, minerals and antioxidants that calm inflamed and puffy skin. This classic ingredient is known to soothe sunburn and UV damage by hydrating and aiding skin healing. 

 

One-liner: An anti-inflammatory and soothing icon. 

 

Aloe Vera

 

A tried and true active ingredient. Trusted for centuries and known for burn relief, but far more powerful than that. This medicinal plant has cooling properties and minerals to reduce inflammation and promote healing. Likewise, it’s rich in vitamin C, E and beta-carotene which brighten skin and soften fine lines. 

 

One-liner: A soothing, cooling and pro-ageing favourite. 

 

Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E)  

A soothing, pro-ageing ingredient that’s naturally made in our bodies. Vitamin E is an integral part of our skin’s defence against UV damage and other skin-damaging free radicals. Introducing topical vitamin E into your skincare routine can reduce signs of inflammation such as skin swelling, UV radiation, skin thickness and redness.
