Lactic Acid is an alpha hydroxy acid that exfoliates the skin. This 10% formulation offers mild exfoliation & is supported with a purified Tasmanian pepperberry known to reduce signs of inflammation & sensitivity that is often associated with exfoliation. This formula contains a studied Tasmanian Pepperberry derivative to help reduce irritation associated with acid use. This derivative is of plant origin & varies in colour seasonally & this colour variation may be apparent in the formula from time to time. Contraindications: Lactic Acid should not be used on sensitive peeling or compromised skin. Please refer to additional sun protection note & other warnings in provided Directions. This p H of this formula is Approx. 3.8. Lactic Acid has a p Ka of 3.8 & p Ka is the most important aspect to consider in formulating with acids. p Ka implies acid availability. When p Ka is close to p H there is an ideal balance between salt & acidity maximizing effectiveness of the acid & reducing irritation. Higher p H numbers in such a case would increase salt which counter-intuitively would make the formula even more irritating than if the formula was more acidic. Note: While Lactic Acid can result in quick visible benefits we generally suggest indirect forms of skin exfoliation in favour of direct forms such as this formula due to potential inflammation & sensitivity associated with acids. Please refer to NIOD's Non-Acid Acid Precursor for such a reference. ...

A comprehensive treatment to improve the looks of lip colour volume texture softness & contour combining a wide borrowing from peptide technology & bio-technology. Note: This serum contains an immediate-acting technology to increase visible lip redness without any pigments or dyes. To avoid redness of the surrounding skin apply only a very small amount with your fingertip directly on the lips. Do not apply to the skin & especially avoid sensitive areas. NIOD recommends washing your hands after application. In case of accidental exposure to skin no special action is necessary. The immediate-term redness on the skin will disappear within a few minutes on its own. LIP SUPPORT TECHNOLOGIES (Solubilized in a base of isolated sugarcane hemisqualane & sea buckthorn oil) Bio-Commipheroline Pro-Lipid Complex Isolated from Indian bdellium-tree this complex contains two specific markers—commipherol & commipherine—acting under two synergistic reactions offer the look of increased lip volume. Palmitoyl-KMO2K-Sugar-Ester Peptide Bio-Complex Through a unique pathway this next-generation peptide complex supports other technologies in increasing the look of lip volume while helping to sustain hydration increase of +50.6% even 20 hours after application. Chinese Zhi Mu Bio Complex Rich in the sapogenin sarsasapogenin & the xanthonoid mangiferin. Lipid Palmitoyl Hexapeptide-12 Complex Modelled after an amino acid sequence in dermal elastin this complex improves the appearances of lip suppleness & firmness. Lipid Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 Complex A natural constituent of human plasma generated naturally after tissue injury. Patented Dihydrodehydrodiisoeugenol Complex A novel multi-faceted approach to improving the look of lip volume & supporting against oxidative compounds (oxyradical absorption capacity of near-Trolox equivalency at 0.0011% of compound). Nicotinic Acid Methyl Ester Traditionally used to relieve aching muscles after exertion this compound causes an increase in visible lip redness almost immediately for a darker more pronounced appearance. This technology offers an immediate & shorter-term benefit with no long-term value in the formulation. Lipid Hyaluronic Acid Cross-Linked with Japanese Konjac Very-low-molecular-weight water-deprived hyaluronic acid cross-linked with a bio-derivative of Japanese Konjac is able to increase water-retention dramatically by a 2 400% maximum water absorption capacity versus a hypothetical 1 700% for hyaluronic acid alone (hypothetical because hyaluronic acid alone would be unavailable in dry form in a suitable formula). The visible volumizing effect of this technology is achieved through extended water retention. Inca Inchi Oil Sourced from Peruvian Amazonia this superb oil is composed of more than 80% omega-3 & omega-6 fatty acids & helps support the epidermis through forming a barrier to water loss. Sesamin Bio-Fractions A highly-purified isolate from sesame seeds this extraordinary bio-technology is able to enhance the look of lip volume by nearly 25% through a pathway independent from other technologies used in the formula. ...

Taking a biotechnologically-advanced approach to skin purification unlike the concept of cleansers in skincare today LVCE is a skin cleaning system that respects dermal barriers while regulating visible sebum production cleaning the skin thoroughly & removing all traces of makeup in a single step. LVCE contains no cleansing plant oils no detergents & no water but instead uses isolated sugar & avocado esters to remove every trace of dirt & makeup with or without water. While the skin feels comfortably hydrated after each use the technologies in LVCE will actually further act as delivery boosters for topical treatments applied after cleaning. Fatty Alcohol Ethylhexanoic Acid Ester Not to be mistaken for alcohol or acids this incredibly emollient & skin-friendly ester takes the approach of using the enemy's strength to win against the enemy—its structure is nearly identical to a vast array of emollients used in makeup & skincare (the enemy of clean skin) allowing this ester to reconstitute—or breakdown—these formulations solely by being so similar to them. Within seconds of application with or without water this flexible ester is able to dissolve even the most complex forms of silicones oils pigments & other topical formulations. Isoamyl Alcohol Lauric Acid Ester Once again with no relationship to alcohol or acids this ester is another skin-friendly cleaner that is able to breakdown even the most persistent forms of UV filters used in skincare & sun care today. UV screening technologies are very difficult to detach completely from the skin & this ester is specifically conditioned for this purpose to purify the skin & the pores. Catalyzed Avocado Butyl Alcohol Ester A true evolution in green biochemistry this patented avocado ester is able to clean the skin instantly of nearly every hydrophobic substance while clinically shown to balance sebum activity so that both dry skin & oily skin can benefit equally toward normalized behaviour. Gallic Acid Ester Both a cleaning ester & a potent antioxidant this technology facilitates the removal of LVCE itself once other technologies are bound to surface impurities. As this ester is the last-man standing & closest-reacting to the skin its antioxidant function is of significant value offering tissue-adhering water-free oxidative protection on a daily basis. Other Ingredients: Clarified Peruvian Inca Inchi Oil purely for its protective alpha-linoleic acid content (not a cleansing oil as traditionally used in oil cleansers) Vitamin E to support ongoing repair of minor environmental or physical assaults to the skin & penetration-enhancing glycol ethers to improve absorption of subsequent skincare. ...
