They may help with loss of firmness, lines/wrinkles, skin texture, reducing inflammation, hyperpigmentation, helps skin heal faster post-procedure, wound healing, and acne even as part of the multitude of benefits.

There are both synthetic & organic ingredients that could work excellently well in unison together in a formulated product. ✨️✍️ Yours truly always, Mr. Skin Care Guru
