The ingredients that work for your skin

An anti-wrinkle ingredient recognised as functional in Korea. It smooths fine lines and improves the skin's elasticity.

An oil-soluble acid, so it gets inside the pores. It clears them, balances sebum and helps prevent blackheads.

Lipids that make up about half of the “mortar” between skin cells. They seal the protective barrier, reduce water loss and comfort dry and sensitive skin. Miracletox combines five types of ceramides.

Microscopic vesicles that cells use to pass signals to each other. In skincare they come from plants — centella, camellia, ginkgo — or from probiotic Lactobacillus. They support the skin's natural renewal, soothe it and improve its condition.

Exosomes derived from Japanese camellia. They brighten the complexion, even out its tone and improve bounce.

A natural protective molecule made by micro-organisms that live in extreme conditions. It shields skin cells from environmental stress, pollution and dryness.

A soothing and clarifying plant, valued in care for sensitive and blemish-prone skin. In the Lumidor Lacto cream it replaces water.

A molecule that holds many times its weight in water. It hydrates, smooths fine dehydration lines and gives the skin bounce.

Vesicles and ferments derived from probiotic bacteria. They support the balance of the skin microbiome — the natural flora that protects it from the outside world.

Miracletox's patented form of spicules from sponges grown in fresh water. Precisely sized needles give the skin gentle stimulation — a treatment in an ampoule you can do at home.

A versatile form of vitamin B3: it strengthens the skin barrier, evens out tone, reduces the look of pores and balances sebum.

Soothes irritation, supports the repair of the epidermis and adds hydration.

DNA fragments, most often derived from salmon, known from professional treatments. They support skin regeneration and improve elasticity.

Short chains of amino acids that act as signals for the skin. They support collagen production, improve firmness and soften expression lines.

The gentlest exfoliating acid. Its large molecules work only on the surface, so it smooths and hydrates without irritation — even on sensitive skin.

A form of vitamin A and one of the best-studied anti-ageing ingredients. It speeds up skin renewal, smooths fine lines and evens out tone. Use it in the evening and protect your skin with SPF in the morning.

A light oil, a twin of a natural component of sebum. It nourishes and smooths without heaviness and does not clog pores.

Natural, microscopic silica needles from sponges. When massaged in, they open tiny channels in the epidermis that help active ingredients through, and prompt the skin to renew. A light tingling after application is normal; follow the directions, usually once a week.

A plant used in Asian skincare for centuries. It calms irritation and redness, supports regeneration and strengthens the protective barrier — which is why it stars in “cica” skincare.
