Hyaluronic acid is naturally produced by the body. Found in high concentrations within the skin, hyaluronic acid is responsible for the skin’s plumpness and volume. Also found in the fluid that surrounds the eyes and joints, hyaluronic acid acts like a sponge that can attract and retain 1,000 times its own weight in water, making it an excellent hydrating ingredient. Essential for maintaining the skin’s moisture balance, hyaluronic acid also helps smooth skin texture. The skin’s natural production of hyaluronic acid declines with age, which is why it’s important to supplement the skin with skincare products that contain this ingredient. Hyaluronic Acid draws in moisture and increases the hydration content in the epidermis so that it looks and feels soft, supple and radiant. Hyaluronic acid assists in improving the plumpness, suppleness and firmness of the skin. ISP Hyaluronic VEGAN Product

Glycolic acid is the most common type of AHA. It’s also made from a widely available plant: sugar cane. Glycolic acid provides significant exfoliation. This makes it an all-around treatment for many skin concerns. And thanks to its antimicrobial properties, it may even help prevent acne breakouts.
•
Lactic acid is another common AHA. Unlike other AHAs made from fruits, lactic acid is made from lactose in milk. It’s also known for its significant exfoliation and anti-aging effects.

AHA - alpha hydroxy acid, BHA - beta hydroxy acid - AHAs are water-soluble acids made from sugary fruits. They help peel away the surface of your skin so that new, more evenly pigmented skin cells may generate and take their place. After use, you’ll likely notice that your skin is smoother to the touch. If you’re primarily looking for dry skin relief or anti-aging benefits.
The purpose of both AHAs and BHAs is to exfoliate the skin. Depending on the concentration, a related product may remove dead skin cells from the surface of the skin, or it may remove the whole outermost layer. Neither type of hydroxy acid is “better” than the other. Both are highly effective methods of deep exfoliation. The differences lie in their uses. AHAs and BHAs are both skin exfoliants, they can each decrease inflammation, a key marker of acne, rosacea, and other skin concerns, decrease the appearance of large pores and surface wrinkles, even out your skin tone, improve overall skin, texture, remove dead skin cells and unclog pores to prevent acne.

Peptides are short chains of amino acids that serve as building blocks for proteins, like collagen, elastin and keratin. "When applied topically to the skin, peptides act as little messengers, triggering skin cells to perform specific functions such as building collagen and elastin, reducing inflammation, and locking in hydration.

Argireline is all the rage on social media. Although it is nicknamed “Botox in a jar,” Argireline (acetyl hexapeptide-3 or acetyl hexapeptide-8) is not a toxin. The plant-derived compound is, however, similar to Botox in its mechanism of action as it freezes nerve-to-muscle potential. By inhibiting the nerves that send signals to facial muscles, subtle facial expressions are limited, and wrinkles, reduced. “These complexes interact with the muscles responsible for facial expression and can inhibit their movement, theoretically improving wrinkles.”
Marine collagen is a source of type 1 collagen. Type 1 is the most plentiful collagen in our bodies. It's also a key building block for maintaining the elasticity and firmness of our biggest organ: the skin. Marine collagen has long been used for its skin enhancing benefits.
