DAY POTION - Skin Illuminating Antioxidant Concentrate

THE ABSENCE OF RADIANCE CAN DIMINISH BEAUTY AT ANY AGE

Healthy skin has an unmistakable lit-from-within quality that can dim with time. Here's your chance to bring it back while transforming the way skin looks, feels, and fights future visible signs of aging.  Introducing DAY POTION - Skin Illuminating Antioxidant Concentrate. Formulated to help create visibly improved skin radiance and a smoother, stronger surface to reflect light long-term by globally addressing multiple factors that can dull down and signal the appearance of aging skin. 

Years of research and trials in the making, this result-driven antioxidant + visible tone brightening potion not only gives you a healthier look almost immediately, but it helps to visibly improve skin luminosity long-term with some of the most potent antioxidants available from science and nature today. These work synergistically on multiple levels to comprehensively combat daily assaults from pollution, smoke, climate stress, UV rays, and other environmental aggressors to help keep skin in a more ideal environment to thrive. 

 

The Skin Concerns

The biggest factor known to cause close to 90% of what we see as visible skin aging is environmental damage. Every day, damaging impurities with fine, microscopic particles accumulate on skin, weakening it and increasing its sensitivity. These factors of daily life lead to skin inflammation and oxidative stress which play significant roles in accelerating the aging process of skin.

Research has shown that as early as our twenties, our skin's barrier and defenses against external assaults, oxidative stress, and transepidermal water loss declines. Studies have also shown that those who live in cities tend to show signs of aging faster than those outside as increased pollution damages collagen and the skin barrier while causing inflammation to accelerate skin aging. Although skin may be temporarily youthful-looking on the surface, environmental damage accumulates and eventually reveal itself in the form of dark spots, large pores, dullness, lines, and loss of elasticity. 

Traditional topical vitamin C such as L-Ascorbic Acid is often used in antioxidant serums meant to help protect skin. However, it is only truly effective at acidic pH which can make skin more sensitized and make sensitive skin worse. It is also highly unstable and can degrade too quickly to become PRO-oxidants and cause more damage to skin.

 

The Solution

To combat against as many as 200+ chemicals from the environment that can damage the health and beauty of your skin, it needs a second line of defense that can "environmentally-proof" it against damage. It's a documented fact that the most effective damage prevention requires multiple synergistic and specific antioxidants that can work together for comprehensive multi-level results. Day Potion offers our most advanced skin-defense complex with a 3-tiered, microbiome-friendly approach to visible skin health and radiance, now and long-term, that include

I. COMPREHENSIVE & MORE STABLE ANTIOXIDANT DEFENSE

II. SYNERGISTIC VISIBLE SKIN BRIGHTENING + TONE-CORRECTING

III. CRUCIAL SKIN BARRIER STRENGTHENING & REPAIR 

Skin is better able to combat harmful external substances, reduce crucial water loss through the epidermis, and begin to look and feel like firmer, healthier skin.

• Meadowfoam Seed Oil - similar to skin's own sebum, it is one of the most effective oils to help prevent moisture loss at the same time, helping to keep skin at a sweet spot of not being too oily or too dry. It helps deliver calming, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant benefits deep into the epidermis, and studies have found its compounds can help inhibit enzymes that break down collagen in the skin. Its high stability also allows it to extend the potency and freshness of other ingredients it works with and allows it great affinity with the skin for enhanced protection without greasiness or associated negative effects.

• Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate  - a new generation stable and bioavailable form of vitamin C with greater affinity for skin, improved stability against heat and oxidation, and found to be 50 times more powerful than traditional vitamin C. Beyond its protective antioxidant abilities, it can help to promote collagen production for firmer-looking skin, even the look of skin tone, promote hyaluronic acid production, and enhance the abilities of other antioxidants.

• Safflower Oil - its high level of linoleic acid helps to balance moisture and sebum levels in skin while helping to decrease inflammation and promote healing. It's also abundant in vitamin E and can potentially help decrease the damaging effects of the environment on skin.

• Licorice Extract -   well-known to help visibly reduce hyperpigmentation as it works to inhibit tyrosinase (melanin and dark spot catalyst) and free radical production. It can help your skin produce higher levels of antioxidants to improve skin’s defenses against UV and environmental damage both during and after exposure. It’s a potent anti-inflammatory that helps to reduce irritated or inflamed skin conditions that lead to redness, bumps, and skin aging.

• Muskmelon Seed Oil* - super-rich in omega-6 essential fatty acids which your skin barrier relies on to help it function properly. These functions include decreasing trans-epidermal water loss, antimicrobial activity, and decreasing inflammation among others. It's also abundant in protective non-enzymatic and enzymatic antioxidants such as superoxide dismutase (SOD). 

• Tocopherol - based on available research so far, skin scientists believe these have numerous benefits and are essential to skin cells due to their ability to delay damage from free radical activities. These antioxidants have the power to reduce inflammation and attack specific free radicals that cause inflammation. Their antioxidant powers may help reverse damage due to free radicals and potentially prevent wrinkles while making the skin appear more youthful.

• Lingonberry Seed Oil* -  offers super antioxidant properties with some of the highest levels of Type-A Procyanidins, gamma linoleic acids, B-vitamins and minerals to help improve skin tone, fight inflammation, help maintain moisture balance, and helps form skin-essential enzymatic antioxidant superoxide dismutase.
