- mandelic acid: influences the skin in a way similar to salicylic acid and, additionally, increases its elasticity and brightens discolouration;
- glycolic acid: stimulating collagen, hyaluronic acid and elastin synthesis, it firms the skin and, additionally, shallows scars and stretch marks;
- phytic acid: a discolouration vanquisher protecting the skin against the disruptive impact of free radicals;
- pyruvic acid: an ingredient applied in rejuvenating treatment. It stimulates collagen production and helps to achieve the facelift effect.
