Ā
Ascorbic AcidĀ
The Most Stable Form of Vitamin C
We use the most stableĀ and effectiveĀ form of vitamin C in the High Performance Face Cream āin addition to >50 plant-derived actives forĀ luminous skin.Ā
Ā
Citric AcidĀ
For Mild Exfoliation
āCitric acid is a relatively weak alpha hydroxy acid,ā says Dr. Macrene.Ā āIt does not peel the skin unless used at higher concentrations or long exposure times. That's why Dr. Macrene formulated theĀ High Performance Cleanser withĀ citric acid and rich vitamins, itĀ resurfaces and cleanses gently without drying out the skin.Ā
Ā
Zinc Oxide, Titanium Dioxide and Iron Oxides
Generally considered safe and effective (GRASE) physical sunscreens
Dr. Macrene considers mineral sunscreen as a safer option than chemical sunscreen. Mineral sunscreens such as those used in the MACRENEĀ activesĀ Tinted Moisturizer rely on zinc oxide, titanium dioxide and iron oxides. They work by physically deflecting UVA and UVB rays from getting to the surface of the skin. They are safer as they sit on the skinās surface, rather than absorbing beneath it and create a matte finish in her formulations.

"Instagram Filter in A Bottle!"

"WhileĀ other tinted moisturizers have either left my skin too matte and cakey or too dewy, this one strikes that perfect balance. Its luxurious mineral pigments reflect and adapt to your skin tone, making it easy to layer it to your desired level of coverage without ever appearing as if youāre wearing any makeup at all. I like to think of it as an Instagram filter in a bottle, as it has a way of creating that ideal soft-focused, blurred effect that magically hides any imperfections or redness I may be experiencing while still looking and feeling like my natural skin.
