Confused by skincare layering? THE PILL offers a-one step solution to layering clinical acids, balanced with nutrients from the earth, for smooth, hydrated + tighter skin.
THE PILL works on puffy, inflamed, dry, dull + tired skin in three ways to deliver fast results and long term skin benefits. It instantly brightens + exfoliates, hydrates + plumps, and tightens + creates a ‘second skin’ effect. Long term, it also supports the production of collagen and procollagen, can reduce breakouts, increase skin hydration + decrease fine lines.
AHAs are alpha hydroxy acids, a class of chemical compounds that can be either naturally occurring or synthetic. THE PILL uses six different AHAs derived from organic sugars to brighten, gently exfoliate + resurface the skin: Glycolic, Lactic, Mandelic, Malic, Tartaric + Citric. AHAs offer chemical exfoliation as an alternative to manual exfoliation, working primarily by dissolving the bonds between skin cells to allow the removal of dead cells and a subsequently smoother skin surface.
Inflammation is the root cause of nearly all skin issues—whether through topical issues like over-exfoliation, external aggressors and breakdown of the lipid barrier or internal inflammation caused by diet, lifestyle or stress. It is possible to address and help reduce surface level inflammation in the skin through topical products, and THE PILL specifically targets this inflammation through using a complex of plant actives and calming compounds. These include Grape Seed Extract + Glycyrrhizinate Dipotassium (Licorice Root Extract) which work to reduce inflammation in the skin + help to soothe, while additional hydrating extracts support the integrity of the skin’s lipid barrier.
To address dryness, THE PILL contains a blend of humectants—a category of skincare ingredients that draw moisture from their surroundings. Glycerin, Hyaluronic Acid, Galactoarabinan (GA / Larch Extract) and Sodium PCA work in combination to hydrate the skin + help it repair long term by protecting the skin’s lipid barrier.
In addition to being a humectant, Hyaluronic Acid is also a glycosaminoglycan, a naturally-occurring substance that’s part of skin’s youth-supporting matrix. Studies have shown that Hyaluronic Acid can improve the appearance of fine lines and improve skin hydration within 15 minutes of application, and after 6-8 weeks can significantly improve skin hydration and elasticity.
