Active ingredients are the key components in skincare products that deliver targeted results. They are often the result of years of research and are chosen for their ability to address specific skin concerns or promote overall skin health. Whether it's combating the signs of aging, providing hydration, or fighting imperfections, it's the active ingredients that get the job done.
In skin care, there is an ongoing debate about the value of natural versus synthetic active ingredients. While natural active ingredients are often valued for their gentle and often antioxidant properties, synthetic active ingredients often offer greater potency and stability. Both have their advantages, and it is important to consider the specific needs of your skin and the properties of each active ingredient.
The concentration of an active ingredient in a skin care product can significantly affect its effectiveness. The concentration is often given as a percentage (%), with a higher number meaning a higher amount of the active ingredient. However, it is important to note that “more is not always better.” Some active ingredients can be irritating at too high a concentration, while others are effective at low levels. It is always advisable to follow the instructions on the product label and consult a dermatologist or skin care specialist if you are unsure.
Key Active Ingredients – At a Glance
• Hyaluronic Acid: A powerful moisture-binding molecule that holds up to 1,000 times its weight in water – ideal for dry skin, supports a plump, youthful complexion
• Retinol: A proven anti-aging agent that promotes cell turnover and collagen production – helps reduce fine lines, pigmentation, and breakouts.
• Vitamin C: A potent antioxidant that protects against free radicals, brightens the skin, and supports an even, glowing tone
• Azelaic Acid: Known for its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects – helps regulate sebum production and supports clearer skin, especially for acne-prone types
• Peptides: Short chains of amino acids that signal the skin to boost collagen synthesis – improve firmness and elasticity over time
Hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring molecule in your body, is a true champion when it comes to moisture retention. It can store a thousand times its own weight in water. It is precisely this property that makes it an indispensable ingredient in skin care, especially for those with dry skin. By integrating hyaluronic acid into your skin care routine, your skin can retain its moisture for longer, resulting in a fresher and more youthful appearance.
Retinol, a derivative of vitamin A, has established itself as one of the most reliable ingredients in anti-aging skincare. It supports cell renewal and collagen production, helping to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, while also evening out pigmentation and combating blemishes.
With the latest regulatory changes, our Retinol Serum 0.3 remains available as a powerful and effective solution. Higher concentrations are now reserved for medical-grade products, but by adjusting the application amount, comparable results can still be achieved. Retinol 0.3 delivers all the proven benefits of retinol while ensuring optimal skin tolerance.
The antioxidant vitamin C is not only essential for your health but also for your skin. It provides strong protection against harmful free radicals and helps achieve a radiant and even complexion. With our Vitamin C + Biobotox Serum, you will receive a high-quality active ingredient complex that specifically aims to protect your skin from oxidative stress and promote its natural radiance.
Are you fighting against blemishes and acne? Then azelaic acid could be your new best friend. This active ingredient is known for its ability to regulate sebum production and have an antibacterial effect. It helps maintain a clear and healthy complexion.
Peptides, these small but powerful chains of amino acids, are highly valued in the cosmetics industry. They signal your skin to increase collagen production, resulting in firmer and more elastic skin. Discover peptides in many of our products, such as our night creams or Hyaluron Lifting Serum, and experience how they help your skin renew itself from within.
