REMEDY SKIN + BODY Elexir A+ Transformation Serum vs. Gold Bond Rough & Bumpy Skin Daily Therapy Cream

Position 1

#1Lecithin

Origin: natural

Role: Skin conditioning agent, Antistatic agent, Emollient, Emulsifying agent, Surfactant

Antioxidants

Softening

Tones up skin

EWG Rating [ 1 ]

Lecithin is a great emulsifier. It also has slight antioxidant activity, but it’s not enough if you are looking for a strong and effective anti-oxidant. Our skin cells contain Lecithin and that’s why this component will hardly cause any problems or negative reactions. It soaks in pretty fast and it’s accepted by skin cells very well.

-- versus --

#1Water

Origin: natural

Role: Solvent

EWG Rating [ 1 ]

Water is a great solvent. It’s neutral and doesn’t provide any strong positive or negative effects. It just helps components to mix better and to transport active components.

Position 2

#2Aloe Barbadensis (Aloe Vera) Leaf Juice

Origin: natural

Role: Skin conditioning agent

UV Protection

Moisturizing

Soothing

Healing

EWG Rating [ 1 ]

Aloe Barbadensis (Aloe Vera) Leaf Juice is a natural juice received from Aloe leaves. It has been used in cosmetics for hundreds of ages. Scientists have discovered that it contains more than 200 nutrients: minerals, amino acids, vitamins, and so on. It’s a good component for calming irritated skin. It also helps to heal wounds, helps the skin regenerate faster, improves collagen syncretization, tones up, and moisturizes the skin. It also provides a slight UV-filtering effect.

-- versus --

#2Gluconolactone

Origin: chemical

Role: Fragrance ingredient, Humectant, Solvent

Antioxidants

Moisturizing

Acne fighting

Lifting

EWG Rating [ 1 ]

Gluconolactone belongs to poly hydroxy acids (PHA). It’s very similar to AHAs chemically, that’s why it is usually presented as a «Next Generation AHA». It has all the benefits of AHA but it doesn’t irritate the skin. It’s a strong natural antioxidant which is as strong as Tocopherol or Ascorbic Acid.

Position 3

#3Niacinamide

Origin: chemical

Role: Skin conditioning agent, Hair conditioning, Smoothing

Antioxidants

Acne fighting

Pore Shrinking

Soothing

Anti-aging

Lightening

Elasticity improvement

EWG Rating [ 1 ]

Niacinamide is a form of Vitamin B3 and it’s a superman in cosmetics. This ingredient is researched very well. It has a lot of positive reviews from scientists and experts. It's very important for healthy skin. The lack of this vitamin can cause dryness, itching, and sun sensitivity. The component removes small wrinkles and fine lines, heals wounds, and prevents the forming of cancer cells. It also makes the skin tone even by removing dark spots. It increases ceramide synthesis which increases the overall health of your skin. It fights acne and lowers pores.

Researches say that 4-5% of Niacinamide is the most effective concentration for skincare use.

EWG Rating [ 1 ]

CIR Rating [ A ]

Cetyl Alcohol is a fatty alcohol. It’s responsible for making your skin soft and improving product thickness. It makes the product easier to apply and feel richer. Though it contains the word “Alcohol” in its title, the component doesn’t belong to harmful alcohols. That’s why a product with this component can still be marked as Alcohol-free. Usually, manufacturers receive this component from coconut or palm oil.
