Ingredients
Barley Seed Extract (Hordeum vulgare)
Sensitive skin may get damaged really easy and this can result in dryness and cracking. As we age, it becomes thinner, less elastic and prone to deeper wrinkles and moisture loss. Barley seed extract has proven to stimulate extracellular matrix production and provide pro-aging benefits for sensitive skin, addressing fine lines and wrinkles while revitalizing injured skin.
This includes improvements in collagen, fibroblast proliferation as well as elastin production, and hyaluronic acid synthesis. There is also inhibition of matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1), an enzyme involved in the breakdown of collagen in the extracellular matrix of the skin. Factors such as being in the sun (does have its benefits also), aging and inflammation can lead to an overexpression of MMP-1. Through the inhibition of MMP-1 by barley seed extract, skin integrity and structure can be restored to promote a youthful appearance.
Sodium Hyaluronate

Gotu Kola Extract (Centella asiatica)
This is rich in triterpenoids, which exhibit anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, promoting collagen synthesis and skin firmness.
Mushroom Extract (Fomes officinalis)
The extraction of agarikon from mushroom can play an important factor in keeping your skin healthy and clean of skin pores.
Oily skin can give you a shiny appearance and have large, dilated pores. This extract contains agaric acid, which can reduce the excessive secretion of sebum.
Sebum is an oily substance that our pores produce to preserve moisture. If there is too much of sebum, it can contribute to the expansion and deformation of pores, resulting in blockages that can cause bacterial growth and inflammation.
This mushroom extract also has a smoothing and tightening effect on pores, which enhances your skin tone. Tightening of the skin may also be experienced.
