It Cosmetics Confidence in a Cream Moisturizer by It Cosmetics

Product Information

EnterRetinyl Retinoate, a molecule that is created by attaching retinolto retinoic acid. The attachment makes the molecule more stable (pure retinol is unstable and hard to formulate) as well as more active. If you read our shiny description about retinolyou will know that it is not active and has to be converted by our metabolic machinery to become retinoic acid, the biologically active molecule. The conversion is not very effective and takes two steps. Retinyl Retinoate also has to be converted, but in the first step, our cells break up the molecule to become retinoic acid (the active) and retinol, meaning that it becomes active both after the first conversion step as well as later on once retinol is further converted. As you age, your body’s production of collagen and elastin slows down. These two proteins are responsible for your skin’s structural support. As a result, the skin loses its natural plumpness and smoothness. The result is skin that can easily become dry, itchy, or irritated. A properly functioning stratum corneum is essential for healthy skin as it maintains epidermal hydration and serves as a barrier that responds to environmental stressors, infections, irritants, and allergens.

You’ll find the Bye Bye range, including {Bye Bye Under Eye Concealer} and {Bye Bye Pores Pressed Powder} that are designed to smooth and perfect pores and imperfections while also including antioxidants and collagen to work with your skin for smoothness, elasticity and a brighter, more vibrant complexion. And don’t forget the IT Cosmetics {brushes}, designed to help you apply your make up in the smoothest, most natural way possible.Regarding skincare and tea tree oil, its most well-known effect is probably being a well established anti-acne ingredient. Multiple studies confirm that TTO is effective against the evil acne-causingbacteria called P. acnes and the effectiveness of 5% TTO gel is comparable to the gold standard anti-acne treatment,5% Benzoyl Peroxidelotion. You need to be a bit more patient with TTO, though, as its effects come slower but also with fewer side effects. Oh, and one more thing: glabridin seems to be also an antioxidant, which is just one more reason to be happy about licorice root extract on an ingredient list. As for hair care, coconut oil has pretty solid research showing that it can penetrate into the hair very well (better than mineral oil and sunflower oil) and it can prevent hair protein loss as well as combing damage. If you have problems with damaged hair, split ends, coconut oil is worth trying as a pre- or/and post-wash treatment. Labmuffin has an awesome blogpost explaining in more detail why coconut oil is good for your hair.

If there’s one thing we love, it’s formulas that actually live up to their claims. Therefore, it’s worth mentioning that the brand put the cream through a clinical-run instrumental study to ensure its efficacy—and the results were highly positive. After six weeks of daily use, 60 subjects shared their thoughts: 100 percent said their skin felt moisturized and hydrated, while 93 percent said the cream provided a smooth base for face makeup. These ingredients enhance the texture of the product and also provide a few benefits to the skin. Both ingredients help the skin retain moisture, and silicones can even disguise the appearance of lines and wrinkles while also minimizing the appearance of pores. Touch: our fermented sugar is not only good to the skin, but it also feels great on the skin. It gives a nice “soft touch” feeling and makes the products pleasant to use. There is just one catch regarding glabridin and licorice: the amount of glabridin in commercial licorice extracts can vary a lot. We have seen extracts with only 4% glabridin as well as 40% glabridin. The latter one is a very-very expensive ingredient, so if you are after the depigmenting properties try to choose a product that boasts its high-quality licorice extract. I’ll dive deep into the key ingredients in this formula, as well as the research that supports (or doesn’t support) their use in skin care.With thiscontext in mind let's see what THDA might be able to do. First, it is stable (if pH < 5), easy to formulate, and a joy to work with for a cosmetic chemist.

Third, THDA seems to have all three magic abilitiesof pure vitamin C: it gives antioxidant protection from both UVB and UVA rays, it increases collagen synthesis (even more than AA) and it has a skin brightening effect by reducing melanogenesis by more than 80% in human melanoma cell cultures.You’ll notice that IT Cosmetics Confidence In A Cream has a very soft, silky texture that glides onto skin easily, which is thanks to high concentrations of silicones and synthetic emollients. Hydroxyethylpiperazine Ethane Sulfonic Acid, Glyceryl Stearate, Dimethicone, Butyrospermum Parkii Butter / Shea Butter, Myristyl Myristate, Ethylhexyl Palmitate, Phenoxyethanol, Peg-100 Stearate, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Caprylyl Glycol, Pentylene Glycol, Sodium Polyacrylate, Tocopherol, Hydrolyzed Rice Protein, Citric Acid, Sodium Hyaluronate, Pentaerythrityl Tetra-Di-T-Butyl Hydroxyhydrocinnamate, Ceramide Np, Adenosine, Trisodium Ethylenediamine Disuccinate, Colloidal Oatmeal, Linalool, Hydroxypalmitoyl Sphinganine, Butylene Glycol, Caramel, Limonene, Benzyl Benzoate, Carbomer, Sodium Lactate, Citral, Polysorbate 20, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1, Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7, Parfum / Fragrance.

Those benefits include improved skin hydration, as well as a more plump complexion with fewer lines and wrinkles. Is IT Cosmetics Confidence In A Cream Right For You? And another 5-star review says, “I’m normally very skeptical of ‘anti-aging’ products and their claims, but I decided to give this cream a try when it went on sale. Now I use it every night and can’t imagine being without it. My previously dry skin now feels soft, smooth, and hydrated. No other moisturizer I’ve tried has delivered such positive, lasting results.” The saturated nature of coconut oil also means that it is a heavy-duty-oil ideal for dry skin types. A double-blind research confirmed that extra virgin coconut oilis as effective in treating xerosis (aka very dry skin) as mineral oil.Another study found that coconut oil is more effective than mineral oil in treatingmild to moderate atopic dermatitis (aka eczema) in children.
