![]() Overall they're a powerful well-ageing combination and a dream team in terms of tacking uneven skin tone. Vitamin C is a great product for helping with discolouration, it has an antioxidant benefit (protecting the skin from free radical damage, and to elaborate: niacinamide can also do this) and in its pure form, it can also boost collagen production in the skin. Niacinamide is you multi-tasking must-have: it can help regulate oil production in the skin, prevent the spread of hyperpigmentation and actually boost up the skin barrier by increasing ceramide production. Instead, if you want to try this pairing, go for Vitamin C derivatives alongside niacinamide in barrier support products or ones that you know are formulated at a 5% concentration or less. I wouldn't recommend pairing a strong 10% niacinamide with a 15-20% pure-form ascorbic acid. In reality: all you need to be mindful of is irritation, because these are two active ingredients (hence the asterisk). There's a lot of misinformation buzzing around about this ingredient pairing, based on a single misinterpreted study from ages ago. If you want to give your skin a night off from the heavy actives to focus on barrier support then this pairing will still allow you to reap some amazing rewards. They're great for keeping your skin happy and healthy plus have that reparative element to them (if they're paired with fatty acids and cholesterol, then even better!) Plus, your skin's natural ceramide stores deplete over time, so this makes a great well-ageing duo that's not irritating. As they have a reparative property to them, I recommend using them alongside ceramides, which are a fundamental component of your skin's natural barrier. Retinoids hover around a neutral pH so could probably vibe with peptides. They actually don't pair that well with most active skincare ingredients, as they're quite alkaline (particularly copper peptides), whereas your pure-form Vitamin C and obviously your acids are acidic. Broadly, they plump and hydrate the skin and can have well-ageing benefits by preserving the collagen that gives your skin that fullness and bounce, or potentially even boosting up collagen production. “There are nine essential amino acids: histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan, and valine… the 11 non-essential amino acids, which the body can make on its own, include alanine, arginine, asparagine, aspartic acid, cysteine, glutamic acid, glutamine, glycine, proline, serine, and tyrosine.Peptides are a huge category of ingredients and individual peptides can have various properties. “Essential” amino acids, on the other hand, are essential because they must be obtained from foods or supplements a deficiency in even one of them can result in health problems. De Deep Sweep 2 BHA Pore Cleaning Toner van FARMACY exfolieert en reinigt poriediep dit is wat het mengsel van 2 BHA (salicylzuur) en papaja-enzymen belooft: een krachtig duo dat er alles aan doet om de poriën visueel te verminderen en een super frisse, gezond uitziende teint te onthullen. ![]() ![]() The “non-essential” term doesn’t mean that those amino acids aren’t important rather, it means that your body can make them on its own, so it’s not “essential” for you to get them elsewhere, such as from food or supplements. “There are many amino acids, but most scientists agree that there are 20 that are important to our health, divided into two types: essential and non-essential. Of course, the experts on the Paula’s Choice Research Team have the most informed insights on amino acids: They can even help maintain hydration levels and promote skin health. They’re bio-compatible and are the building blocks of peptides and proteins. ![]() But I’m glad they did!Īmino acids are really great for the skin. It seems to come outta left field and I’m not quite sure why the Farmacy chemists included it in Deep Sweep, particularly at that level. Interestingly in the Deep Sweep formula, situated between water and the 2% concentration of Salicylic Acid, is the amino acid Arginine. It exfoliates the skin and deep cleans - or make that sweeps - pores, clearing them of any build-up that can stretch them and make them appear more visible.Īgain, you cannot shrink your pores rather, you can clarify them so that they appear smaller in size and aren’t as noticeable on the complexion. With a 2% concentration of Salicylic Acid and a pH of between 3-4, Farmacy’s BHA toner certainly does what a good acid toner should do. It’s a safe-for-skin, refreshing, effective formula and a pleasure to use. You can still catch the full piece here.īack to sanity, the Farmacy Deep Sweep 2% BHA Pore Cleaning Toner with Moringa + Papaya is a good, clean acid toner - among the best Salicylic Acid treatments for face. ![]() This review was originally part of my blog article titled, Acid Toners – Some of the Best BHA / AHA Toners for Face from Paula's Choice, Farmacy and More. ![]()
