What is Skin?
Skin is the largest organ of human body, making it one of the most complicated organs too. With multiple layers with different functions, skin provides body with multi layered protection. It not only acts as a barrier to the body but also impacts directly to one’s health. Human skin takes on different thickness, colour and texture on different parts of the body. The skin is made up of 3 layers: Epidermis, Dermis and Subcutaneous fat layer known as hypodermis. As person ages, the skin exhibits striking tropical differences due to exposure to the sun, leaving the skin unprotected, dry, and wrinkled. With effective actives, products and proper care, our skin can be nourished, protected, and even restored from the already caused harm.
Pigmentation on skin:
Uneven skin pigmentation or, more commonly known as hyperpigmentation is a common skin complaint. Hyperpigmentation appears as darkened patch or spots on the skin that makes skin look uneven due to regular exposure of sun. Types of hyperpigmentation include age spots, melasma and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
Niacinamide acts as a skin lightening agent by acting as both, a tyrosinase inhibitor and preventing the transfer of melanosomes. Niacinamide also reduces sebum production for skin rejuvenation.
Niacinamide has antipruritic effect with barrier-protective properties. It acts as a lipid barrier helping the skin to minimize redness, pore appearance, fine lines and wrinkles.
Niacinamide potentiates the effects of other active ingredients that work to reduce skin pigmentation.
Niacinamide helps improve a variety of clinical stigmata seen in photoaging. Niacinamide can concurrently rebuild healthy skin cells while also protecting them from damage caused by ultraviolet rays.
Tyrostat is a natural skin whitening rumex extract. The main function of Tyrostat is to limit the production of melanin in skin. Tyrostat inhibits the production of tyrosinase, the enzyme responsible for the production of melanin. Once tyrosinase production is inhibited, formation of unwanted pigmentation is controlled.
It restores skin by reducing pigmentation, dark spots, tanning and scar, giving the skin an even tone.
Tyrostat is known to repair the sun exposed skin. Tyrostat is known to reduce pigmentation, erythema and appearance of age spots.
Zinc PCA is a derivative of glutamic acid (an amino acid) and is very hygroscopic i.e. it absorbs water. It helps to balance sebum production and limit the proliferation of acne-causing bacteria and supports general healing process of skin.
Zinc PCA is a synthetic skin-conditioning ingredient derived from zinc that has anti-aging benefits due to its ability to suppress collagenase and promote skin repair.
Zinc PCA has a preventive effect on skin aging because it acts as an antioxidant and counteracts collagen degradation caused by UV radiation. PCA adds a moisturizing effect to the skin.
Niacinamide is an active form of niacin (vitamin B3) and is found in yeast and root vegetables. It regulates natural oils in skin. It has properties to protect skin against sun damages and treat hyperpigmentation.
Niacinamide is an effective skin lightening active that works by inhibiting melanosome transfer
Extracted from the field dock plant Rumex, native to the prairies of northern Canada, Tyrostat is a potent inhibitor of tyrosinase enzymatic activity, one of the main enzymes involved in the pigmentation process.
It reduces skin pigmentation and erythema by limiting both melanin production and skin reddening for an even skin complexion.
Zinc PCA is humectant associated with the process of hydration as it is a natural moisturizing factor.
Zinc helps to reduce the excessive secretion of sebum, to prevent pore blockage by inhibition of 5- α-reductase.
Zinc has anti-oxidative properties, relieving inflammation and preventing acne formation.

1. What Is a Face Serum?
Face serum is a set of concentrated skincare ingredients that help to address specific skincare concerns. The components are made up of small molecules and can penetrate deep into the skin and nourish the skin layers beneath the surface. This feature makes serums very effective in treating specific skin issues like wrinkles, etc.
2. What is the best time to use a serum?
Serums are used both during the day as well as night. It is best to apply it soon after cleansing and toning. When applying serum in the morning, follow it up with sunscreen. If you use the serum at night, then top it up with a moisturizer. Do not layer too much at night, as doing so will not enable the skin to breathe easily.
3. What is the ideal age to start using Face Serums?
Serums contain potent ingredients that can have an impact on the metabolism of cells. Face serums can turn out to be way too active for younger skin. The ideal age to start using face serums would be the late 20s and early 30s. This period is the age at which the first signs of aging appear.
4. What is the function of Face Serum?
The serum comprises smaller molecules with high penetration power and can deliver a high concentration of active ingredients.
5. Can I use the serum if I have skin problems?
Serums are concentrated. Hence, if one has sensitive skin or is prone to allergies or any skin reactions, it is better to consult a dermatologist before using it. It is always advisable to do a patch test before using serums all over the face. Avoid harsh chemicals or makeup when using serums as they may alter their efficacy. Also, people who are prone to severe skin issues like eczema must use serums with caution.
