Exclusive New No7 Laboratories Resurfacing Skin Paste

Product Information

Will usually dispatch within same working day if paid before 10:00 GMT (excludes weekends and holidays). This central part of your face, which includes your nose, forehead and chin, is where your skin’s oil-producing glands are most concentrated. PCA stands for Pyrrolidone Carboxylic Acid and though it might not sound like it, it is a thing that can be found naturally in our skin. It lives up to the paste description in texture terms- it’s thick, and you need to leave it to sink in for five minutes before you massage it in.

Most purchases from business sellers are protected by the Consumer Contract Regulations 2013 which give you the right to cancel the purchase within 14 days after the day you receive the item. With combination skin, it can be tempting to exfoliate regularly to combat any dryness on your face. Using a face mask is a bit like going to an educational wine tasting – the kind where they really do make you spit it out – can you imagine (! Combination skin requires different treatments for different areas and, it’s important to adjust your routine to use appropriate products designed for your skin type. Key Ingredients: Derma-Peel Complex: an optimized alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) and polyhydroxy acid (PHA) blend deliver high efficacy exfoliation without being harsh on the skin Key Benefits: From first use, the complexion appears brighter and more even-looking Improves skin texture Minimizes the appearance of large pores Tip: Warning/Sunburn Alert: This product contains an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) that may increase your skin's sensitivity to the sun.It's similar to the more often used sodium hydroxide and pretty much the same of what we wrote there applies here too.

Some essential oil content is usually also present in citrus fruit extracts, which means a nice scent and antibacterial properties, but also some questionable compounds such as fragrance allergen limonene or phototoxic compound bergaptene.L-PCA stands for pyrrolidone carboxylic acid and it's a key molecule in the skin that helps with processes of hydration and energy (it's actually an NMF, a natural moisturizing factor). These have the potential to give lemon extract antioxidant, antibacterial, anti-dandruff, venotonic and moisturizing properties, but the essential oil also brings some questionable compounds such as fragrance allergen limonene or phototoxic compound bergaptene. I loved how the product itself goes on your face as the texture is a bit thick, almost reminds me of honey, but it applies very nice and smooth and the gold color of the product helps as you can see where the product is on your skin-in case you feel like you may have missed a spot. The main reason it is used in skin care is that it contains natural AHA acids, namely Malic and Tartaric, and hence why it supposedly helps slough off dead skin cells in combination with other acid-containing fruit extracts as part of the trade name ACB Fruit Mix. The best face masks are kind of like vacuum cleaners, they spread on, dry and in doing so force the contents of your pores to absorb up.

The enclosed silicone spatula intended for application felt a little bit redundant - the paste is a bit too dense to spread evenly, but this isn’t really an issue as you can just as well apply with your hands. A light, refreshing gel with an oil-free formula, it instantly absorbs into the skin and delivers immediate moisture and lasting hydration for 72 hours. Flavonoids ( hesperidin, naringin, luteolin, and ferulic acid) are also nice active compounds with possible antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and vasoprotective effects.After 15 minutes I smoothed the gel away with the muslin cloth as instructed and my skin immediately felt very soft as well as looking shiny in a healthy rather than greasy way.
