A retinoid is derived from Vitamin A, our healthy ageing superhero ingredient which: • treats acne • lightens pigmentation • treats sun damage • boosts collagen • softens fine lines and wrinkles • increases cell turnover Granactive retinoid binds directly to the retinoid receptors which means faster, better and more consistent results with significantly less irritation than prescription strength Vitamin A creams. Found in: Eye Crème Solution, NovA Oil, SupernovA Oil
Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate Complex
This is a serious anti-wrinkle peptide which has a Botox like action but without the toxin! Studies show that using 10% Argireline around the eyes for 15 days decreases wrinkle depth by 17%. Found in: 10% Argireline is used in our Eye Crème Solution, Face Crème Originale and in the Complete Serum. 5% Argireline is used in our Mask Antidote.
Acetyl Hexapeptide-8
A big sugar molecule occurring naturally in our skin which acts as a sponge to attract and retain water. 1g of Hyaluronic acid can bind 6 litres of water! It maintains elasticity, reduces inflammation, repairs skin barrier and plumps up dehydration-related skin wrinkles. It also acts as a pump to push water-soluble active ingredients into the skin. The HA used in root4 products are high-molecular weight since low-molecular weight HA is thought to be pro-inflammatory. Found in: Cleansing Elixir, Complete Serum
Hyaluronic acid
Resveratrol, found in the seed and skin of the red grape (and berries), is our most powerful antioxidant with 95% efficacy at preventing free radical skin damage (vs Vit C’s 37% efficacy rate). It is anti-acne and anti-redness while also lightening skin pigmentation (it is both a direct and indirect tyrosinase inhibitor). It slows ageing by impacting our ‘longevity genes’, boosting our collagen-producing cells and activating sirtuin-1 which repairs DNA and protects telomeres. Found in: Complete Serum
Resveratrol
Malus Domestica Fruit Cell Culture Extract (from Apple Stem Cells) is the first plant stem cell active ingredient on the market whose effect has been evaluated on human skin stem cells. This unique and revolutionary ingredient is able to protect the most precious skin cells, the skin stem cells, against premature aging. Found in: Face Crème Originale
Apple stem cells
Tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate provides powerful day-time antioxidant defense against pollution, UV and free radicals while boosting collagen production and brightening the skin by reducing the formation of those annoying brown sunspots. Together with Vitamin E and Ferulic acid, it forms part of the power-trio providing superb photo-protection. A study done using THDAC also showed >50% improvement in >75% of acne patients in 2-10 months. Found in: Face Crème Originale, Mask Antidote
Oil Soluble Vitamin C
This natural alpha-hydoxy acid (AHA) was the secret ingredient in Cleopatra’s famed sour milk baths which naturally contained lactic acid. It gently brightens and clarifies the skin by lifting off dead skin cells revealing smoother, softer, glowing skin below. It is also a fantastic moisturizing agent and increases the efficacy of any product applied following its use by increasing penetration of actives. Found in: MultiMasker and Cleansing Elixir
Lactic acid
A disrupted skin barrier results in irritated, red, sensitized and eczema-prone skin. Ceramides are critical for an optimal skin barrier making up 50% of the matrix between our skin cells which allows communication and which holds our skin cells together. As one of our ‘skin-identical’ ingredients, they also provide exceptional hydration and ‘water-proof’ our skin so that we don’t lose moisture from it. Found in: Face Crème Originale
