Powerful Ingredient Duos


Get Better Results By Combining These Incredible Ingredients

Carli Brockway, Founder Peak Private Label



What's the difference between off the shelf and professional grade products?
Off the shelf products may get a trendy ingredient in, but at a base level these ingredients need to be formulated correctly to be effective, which is rarely talked about. Firstly, a product has to be formulated at the correct pH (without being denatured by heat or chemicals in production), and then most importantly for professional grade products- the best ingredients must be chosen to enhance the results of the product.
If you are using the latest ingredients but your clients aren’t seeing results- read on to find what these formulas might be missing


It’s important to take a multi-faceted approach to skincare formulas. The key to an effective product is how the ingredients all work together. Some ingredients work well together, others need a secondary ingredient to perform at its best, and some ingredients need to be kept far away from each other or they cancel out the other’s benefits. Mixing certain ingredients can amplify each other’s effectiveness - this is what we look for when we create our formulas, and this is why our Professional-Grade products stand out from others (and of course are far superior to drug store level quality).
For example, hyaluronic acid is a powerful and well known ingredient in the world of skincare. It is a humectant that draws a ton of moisture into the skin, but it's unable to HOLD that moisture in the skin by itself, which can dehydrate the skin. The opposite of what you're trying to achieve. However, when you incorporate a secondary ingredient like squalane that works to seal all of this moisture in - now you have an ultra-effective formula for long lasting results.
Let’s talk about our most powerful ingredient combinations and how they make our formulas that much more transformative:

AHA’s + Astaxanthin

Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs) are powerful liquid exfoliants known for their ability to brighten and even skin tone. They work by breaking down the bonds holding dead skin cells to your skin, sloughing them off and exposing new brighter skin. However, they're so powerful, they need protective agents to keep the skin happy.
This is where ingredient combinations are taken into consideration. Astaxanthin is an antioxidant 6000x stronger than vitamin C with anti-inflammatory properties that help to soothe the skin. Not only does it offer this mitigating effect against irritation when incorporated with AHAs, but it actually enhances the overall results of exfoliation by visibly reducing hyperpigmentation and fine lines.
Incorporating this duo into your client’s skincare routine will lead to a smoother, more luminous complexion, while keeping irritation at bay. It’s the perfect way to utilize the benefits of exfoliation without compromising skin comfort!



Wrinkle Blur + Caffeine

Wrinkle Blur is a patented complex designed to smooth the appearance of undereye wrinkles and fine lines. With continued use, you’ll notice a brighter, more even skin tone, a plumper look, increased firmness, and a reduction in under-eye bags and puffiness.
On the other hand, caffeine delivers immediate results. It has natural vasoconstrictive properties, which means it can temporarily tighten blood vessels. This helps to reduce the appearance of under-eye bags and puffiness, giving a refreshed look almost instantly!
The combination of these two ingredients creates a powerful formula that not only addresses immediate concerns (like puffiness), but also promotes long term skin health and rejuvenation. This dual approach creates instant results, while ensuring long term benefits.



Kojic Acid + Gotu Kola

Kojic Acid is a powerful brightening agent that is derived from fungi and is known for its ability to inhibit melanin production. This makes it very effective in visibly reducing hyperpigmentation, dark spots and uneven skin tone. Its brightening properties help to reveal a more radiant complexion.
When you have a powerful brightening serum that can change the appearance of the skin so quickly, you’ll also need a calming and protective agent, like Gotu Kola. It’s a plant extract that has calming and healing properties, while helping to enhance skin elasticity and resilience. It also happens to be an antioxidant that helps to reduce the appearance of age signs.
The relationship between these two ingredients both enhances skin tolerances, and overall effectiveness. By combining brightening and soothing properties this mix lightens dark spots while promoting a healthier, more radiant complexion.
