The MECCA view

An antioxidant-rich serum with powerful 15% L-ascorbic acid plus lactic acid to visibly improve signs of aging dark spots, uneven tone, loss of elasticity & firmness, fine lines, wrinkles, and dullness.

Key ingredients

15% Vitamin C (L-Ascorbic Acid): L-Ascorbic acid is Vitamin C in its purest form. This potent antioxidant protects, and repairs skin cells and up regulates collagen gene expression through increasing the degradation of lipids, ultimately resulting in firming skin. Not only does this nutrient wipe away free radicals, but it can also remove the DNA damage that the radicals form.

Lactic Acid: gently loosens the bonds between epidermal cells to exfoliate skin’s surface. It also naturally hydrates, reducing trans epidermal water loss (TEWL) through the stimulation of ceramides and GAGS in skin. Lactic Acid can also serve as a powerful delivery vehicle for other ingredients, as it increases their penetration into the skin, and their efficacy.

Licorice: naturally derived from the root of glycyrrhiza glabra, licorice root contains powerful antioxidants that neutralize free radicals from external environmental and internal stressors. Glabridin, an active ingredient in licorice root, is shown to exhibit anti-inflammatory effects and inhibit tyrosinase, a key enzyme responsible for pigment production. Liquiritinis another active ingredient, which helps to disperse and remove melanin and pigment in the skin.

Mulberry Extracts: contains potent antioxidants that neutralize free radicals. It has also been shown to inhibit tyrosinase, a key enzyme responsible for pigment production.
