The Ordinary Antioxidant Support & Preventative Maintenance Set

The Ordinary Antioxidant Support & Preventative Maintenance Set includes: - The Ordinary Squalane Cleanser 50ml - The Ordinary Pycnogenol 5% 15ml - The Ordinary Natural Moisturizing Factors + HA 30ml - The Ordinary EUK 134 0.1% 30ml The Ordinary Squalane Cleanser 50ml: A gentle cleansing product formulated to target makeup removal whilst leaving the skin feeling smooth and moisturised. The formula incorporates Squalane, alongside other lipophilic esters that are gentle, moisturising, efficient in dissolving makeup and facial impurities and increasing the spreadability of the product. When rubbed between your palms for approximately 10-30 seconds, the product undergoes an important textural change from a balm-like consistency to a clear oil-like consistency. This allows the emulsifying sucrose esters in the formula to trap and blend the dissolved makeup and facial impurities with water for rinsing. Being non-comedogenic and soap-free, this formula is designed to be gentle enough for daily use, without over-drying the skin, making it suitable for all skin types. The Ordinary Pycnogenol 5% 15ml: Pycnogenol is a natural plant extract derived from the pine bark of French maritime pine trees. It contains procyanidins, bioflavonoids and organic acids that work in synergy to address the damaging effects of environmental stressors that may contribute to the early onset of signs of ageing. Having a great affinity to collagen and elastin, Pycnogenol supports their existing content, helping to nourish the skin from the inside out. Being a unique and powerful antioxidant, Pycnogenol offers the skin protection and promotes visible radiance. Pycnogenol is a trademark of Horphag Research Ltd. Neither DECIEM nor The Ordinary is affiliated with Horphag Research Ltd.Note: The Ordinary Pycnogenol 5% is free of artificial colours. The formula's deep red colour is due to the high procyanidin content in Pycnogenol. After application, please wash hands and avoid product contact with light coloured fabric as it may stain. The Ordinary Natural Moisturizing Factors + HA 30ml: Surface hydration formula, Natural Moisturizing Factors (NMF) are elements that keep the outer layer of the skin protected and well-hydrated. NMF are made up of multiple amino acids, fatty acids, triglycerides, urea, ceramides, phospholipids, glycerin, saccharides, sodium PCA, hyaluronic acid and many other compounds that are naturally present in the skin. This formula offers non-greasy hydration that acts as a direct topical supplement of impaired NMF components. It contains 11 amino acids, phospholipids, alpha/beta/gamma fatty acids, triglycerides, sterols and sterol esters, glycerin, ceramide precursors, urea, saccharides, sodium PCA and hyaluronic acid. It offers immediate hydration and lasting results with continued use. Alcohol-free, oil-free, nut-free, vegan. The Ordinary EUK 134 0.1% 30ml: A mimetic of superoxide dismutase and catalase, forming an exceptionally rare self-regenerating molecule that scavenges superoxide free radicals, eliminates hydrogen peroxide and converts reactive oxygen species into water and oxygen. While it has been around for many years, very few products on the market do use this truly superb antioxidant which can regenerate itself to offer round-the-clock antioxidant support. The only issue with EUK 134 is that it must not be used immediately with strong acids such as suspensions of Ascorbic Acid. Strong acids will completely destroy EUK 134 which is based on manganese.
