IconicA® is truly a revolutionary form of vitamin A due to it being undeniably more active and bioavailable than Retinol, but with the unique feature of being remarkably less irritating.  It is the most superior grade of vitamin A available and used by very few companies due to the higher cost to formulate with.  IconicA® has impeccable data in regards to both anti aging and acne.  It helps control the oil output of the skin, reduces and heals blemishes ultimately reducing overall congestion.  In addition to its superior acne fighting properties, it also possesses powerful youth promoting benefits; It produces collagen, improves the skin's texture, reduces discoloration, fine lines, wrinkles and improves skin texture by helping to enhance the firmness & thickness of the skin.  By improving overall skin health it also allows the skin and individual follicles to be more resilient and less susceptible to collapsing under pressure when congestion is present which eliminates those deep, cystic, painful lesions. 

 

Niacinamide

Niacinamide can improve skin’s elasticity, dramatically enhance its barrier function by stimulating the production of ceramides, it helps erase discoloration, and revives skin’s healthy tone and texture. It has also been proven to help heal acne lesions and reduce the red marks left over from breakouts.

Bio-Fense (Lactobacillus Ferment)

A Fermented probiotic that triggers anti-microbial peptides in the skin, which in turn kill harmful bacteria associated with acne. By regulating and supporting diversity within the microbiome, this then helps to normalize the skin and increases skin barrier defense. It reduces both acne lesions and erythema (redness) caused and left behind by active acne. 

Burdock Root

Burdock Root is a powerful chinese herb that has both anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties which allow it to reduce and heal acne lesions.  Scientific studies are beginning to show that burdock root also serves to improve signs of aging which goes hand in hand with supporting healthy, acne resilient skin. 

Lilac Extract

A powerful botanical ingredient which regulates oil production and mattifies the skin.  It also possesses anti aging properties to support overall skin health and appearance.
