Revolution Skincare London, Night Restore, Oil, 30ml

Product Information

Eek – this is where Revolution Skincare really stand out, because if there could be just one ingredient for sensitive skin – it’s going to be cica aka centella asiatica. As for linoleic acid and the skin, LA is a really important little guy found naturallyin our skin. It is the most abundant fatty acid in the epidermis and it serves as a structural precursor for important skin lipids called ceramides. Knowing this, it will not come as a surprise that Linoleic acid has a central rolein the structure and function of stratum corneum permeability, aka healthy skin barrier.LA deficiency leads to an impairedmore permeable skin barrier and the topical application of LA-rich sunflower oil can fix this issue rapidly (while oleic-rich olive oil did not have the same barrier repairing effect). Glycine Soja Oil (found in Revolution Skincare Night Restore Oil)– contains natural actives called soy phytosterols – these guys can help repair a broken skin barrier. Now’s to the juicy stuff my friend. The moment we get to find out which carefully selected Revolution Skincare products are THE ONE’s for you.

They get stressed by pollution particles – note – pollution particles have been specifically linked to dark marks/sun spots/liver spots on cheeks. Another pro is that lavender oil has some nice antimicrobial and antibacterial properties. It also has some localpain relieving and muscle relaxing magical powers. Lavender oil is also often claimed to have anti-inflammatory properties. We have found a study confirming this but it was the essential oil of the leaves and not the much more commonly used flowers and the two differ in their main chemical compounds very much. (The main components of the flower essential oil are linalyl acetate and linalool [around 80% the two together] while it is 1,8-Cineole [around 65%] in the essential oil of the leaves.) Squalane (found in Revolution Skincare Night Restore Oil)– skin similar version of a major oil found in human sebum called squalene – helps condition and nourish skin.Niacinamide– hero of everything with a capital E. Niacinamide’s specifically fab for acne prone skin as it’s anti-inflammatory, anti-redness plus some science studies show it has potential to reduce sebum production while others show it can help to reduce microcomedones aka the foundations of a spot. What’s the difference between mature skin and skin that’s age concerned/has those first signs of ageing? It’s all about potency here. Plus direct action to boost precious collagen and elastin levels inside of your skin. You want to be looking for the post-person, not the mail. You want actives being delivered right to your skin’s front door. And you want them to be ones which are THE most well proven. Here’s that list my friend… These guys are like the scaffolding network to your skin and when they get damaged/harden/toughen or aren’t replaced enough – your skin gets ‘dimples’– what you’re seeing as fine lines.

Wherever you see cica on the Revolution Skincare range, you can rest safe and easy that it does contain centella asiatica – the soothing herb with history. Zinc or Zinc PCA as you’ll see it on the ingredient list – both the Revolution Skincare 10% niacinamide serum and the 15% niacinamide serum contain zinc PCA. Zinc helps reduce how oily your skin is. Huzzah. Green tea– you’ll find it as Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract on the label – known to help stop your skin converting androgens into up to 10 times more potent androgens, and you guessed it my friend – androgen hormones cause your skin to pump out the oil like they were firefighters at an Inferno.
