Purifying

Purifying your skin means removing impurities, reducing excess oil, and deep cleansing to minimise a greasy or shiny appearance and prevent breakouts. This process leaves your skin clearer, more balanced, and looking fresh.

Enzymatic Exfoliation

Enzymatic exfoliation uses natural fruit enzymes like papain (from papaya) and bromelain (from pineapple) to gently break down dead skin cells on the surface, making it perfect for sensitive skin. Unlike chemical exfoliation, which uses acids like AHAs and BHAs to dissolve bonds between cells for deeper exfoliation, enzymatic exfoliation is milder. It promotes smoother, brighter skin without the risk of irritation, giving you a gentle yet effective way to reveal your natural radiance.

Pore Tightening & Minimising

Pore minimising involves reducing the appearance of enlarged pores. Enlarged pores often result from excess oil production and accumulated impurities, which stretch them over time. ageing also plays a role, as reduced skin elasticity makes pores more visible. Pore-minimising formulas tackle these issues by regulating oil production and boosting collagen and elastin to enhance skin elasticity. This helps pores return to their natural, less noticeable shape, giving your skin a smoother, more refined look.

Sebum Regulating (Mattifying)

Sebum regulation involves normalising oil production in your sebaceous glands to reduce shine, oiliness, and breakouts, restoring your skin's natural balance. Overactive sebaceous glands can be triggered by internal factors like genetics, hormonal changes, and stress, as well as external factors such as climate, pollution, and diet. Excessive sebum production can lead to enlarged pores, acne, and an oily, shiny appearance. Effective sebum regulation means using skincare products that balance oil levels without over-drying your skin, helping you achieve a clearer, more matte complexion.

Anti-Bacterial

Anti-bacterial action targets and inhibits the growth of bacteria on your skin's surface. Anti-bacterial ingredients work by disrupting essential bacterial processes like cell wall synthesis or protein production, reducing the risk of skin infections and inflammation. They are especially effective for treating acne by controlling the acne-causing bacteria known as Cutibacterium acnes (C. acnes). This anti-bacterial action helps diminish imperfections, prevent new breakouts, and reduce irritation, giving you clearer, healthier skin.

Repairing

Repairing your skin means restoring cells damaged by external factors like UV rays and free radicals, which can harm cell DNA and slow regeneration. Although our cells naturally repair themselves, this ability weakens over time due to ageing and repeated environmental exposure. Active ingredients can boost this natural process, preserving your skin's health, elasticity, and radiance. By supporting skin cell repair, these ingredients combat premature ageing and help maintain a firm, plump, and toned complexion.

Complexion-Evening (Anti-Blotchiness)

Evening skin tone is all about reducing blotchiness and achieving a more uniform complexion. Skincare products designed for this purpose use a blend of active ingredients, including soothing agents, anti-pigmentation compounds, antioxidants, and skin-restoring elements. These ingredients work together to diminish redness, inflammation, and pigment irregularities caused by inflammation, while also strengthening and protecting your skin against environmental irritants and future damage. This promotes healing and resilience, leaving your skin more balanced, radiant, and beautiful.

Non-Comedogenic

Non-Comedogenic skincare is formulated to prevent pore obstruction, a key factor in the development of comedones (blackheads and whiteheads) and inflammatory acne. These formulations avoid occlusive or pore-blocking agents that can trap sebum, dead skin cells, and bacteria within follicles. any non-comedogenic actives also help regulate excess oil production, normalise keratinisation, and support microbiome balance, all of which reduce the likelihood of congestion.

Hydrating

Hydration is all about the water content in your skin that keeps it supple and healthy. Humectants, ingredients with water-binding properties, deliver this hydration by attracting water molecules from the atmosphere. For the best results, apply hydrating serums right after a shower. Humectants not only replenish your skin's hydration but also enhance its water retention, creating a long-lasting hydration reservoir. Adding humectants like hyaluronic acid to your routine will restore your skin's healthy glow, minimize fine lines, and provide a plumping effect.

Plumping

Skin plumping involves using active ingredients to boost the production of key structural components like collagen, the dermal-epidermal junction, and glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), giving your skin more volume and density. Collagen provides structural support and firmness, while the dermal-epidermal junction, a thin connective layer, ensures smooth, wrinkle-free skin by facilitating cell communication. GAGs, like hyaluronic acid, keep your skin hydrated and plump from within. By stimulating these components, active ingredients help restore your skin's plumpness and radiance.

Fruit Enzymes

Fruit Enzymes, such as Papain & Bromelain, are proteolytic enzymes derived from papaya and pineapple. They act as gentle exfoliants by breaking down proteins that bind dead skin cells to the surface, revealing brighter, smoother skin underneath. This enzymatic exfoliation is milder than chemical or physical exfoliation, making it suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin. This enzymatic exfoliation promotes a brighter, more even complexion, reduces the appearance of pigmentation and acne scars, and leaves skin visibly smoother, softer, and more luminous.

Ylang Ylang

Derived from the fragrant blossoms of the Cananga Odorata tree, Ylang Ylang Essential Oil is known for its sebum-regulating and cell-regenerating properties. It helps to balance oil production. Additionally, Ylang Ylang promotes skin renewal and repair, helping to smooth texture and support a healthy skin barrier. Its natural linalool content provides antimicrobial support while its aroma adds a sensorial, calming dimension to any formulation.

Glycerin

Glycerin is a potent humectant commonly used in skincare for its powerful hydrating properties. It works by attracting water molecules from the atmosphere and retaining them in the deeper layers of the skin, effectively boosting hydration reservoir. This helps to plump up the skin, resulting in reduced dehydration lines and a soft, supple complexion.

Spotlight

Papaya Extract

Extracted from the fruit of the Carica papaya plant, Papaya Extract is a bioactive-rich ingredient prized for its natural content of enzymes, carotenoids, flavonoids, and vitamins A, C, and E. Its primary enzymatic compound, papain, is a proteolytic enzyme that breaks down keratinised protein structures on the surface of the skin, facilitating non-abrasive exfoliation and enhancing cellular turnover. This enzymatic exfoliation gently removes dead skin cells, reduces congestion, and promotes a smoother, more refined skin texture.

Beyond its exfoliating action, Papaya Extract is a natural source of beta-carotene, a precursor to vitamin A, which supports skin regeneration and antioxidant defense. Vitamin C in the extract aids in collagen synthesis and melanin regulation, making it effective for addressing hyperpigmentation, sun damage, and uneven tone. Its antioxidant profile helps neutralise free radical activity, mitigating the visible signs of photoaging and environmental stress.

Papaya Extract also contains a suite of phytonutrients and flavonoids with mild anti-inflammatory and antibacterial activity, contributing to its ability to calm reactive skin and reduce surface irritation. Over time, it supports a brighter, more radiant complexion while improving overall skin clarity and resilience.

Why I love it

  • I love how Vie de Mer packs each formula with potent, cold-pressed actives to plump, smooth wrinkles, and brighten. Every ingredient has a purpose, and you can feel the results.
