Science & Benefits

Saccharide Isomerate is a 100% plant-derived carbohydrate complex similar to those found in the human stratum corneum. It functions as a 'Moisture Magnet' by binding to the lysine amino acids in the skin's keratin. It cannot be washed off easily, providing hydration for up to 72 hours. It is zero-comedogenic. Its logic in acne care is 'deep-well' hydration that persists even after using foaming cleansers or harsh blemish treatments.
