Active Ingredients / Technology
The serum is a concentrated blend of sodium hyaluronate (salt form of hyaluronic acid), panthenol (Vitamin B5), glycolipids and algae extract. Sodium hyaluronate attracts and binds moisture to skin, panthenol aids in skin/tissue repair and hydration, glycolipids moisturize skin, and algae extract softens skin and restores its moisture balance.
The serum helps keep skin hydrated with a concentrated formula containing sodium hyaluronate (salt form of hyaluronic acid), sodium PCA, honey, Yerba Santa and a mineral complex. It also features Silk Proteins to soften skin and sea algae to soothe skin and promote moisture.
The Baby Quasar Red and Baby Quasar MD use a proprietary light therapy technology called SequePulse to help improve skin's tone and texture. The technology emits 4 wavelengths of red, amber and infrared light, which increase blood flow and circulation, as well as stimulate collagen production and healing. In 6 weeks, the device can help to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, pore size, rosacea and hyperpigmentation.
