• Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice and Camellia Sinensis (Green Tea) Leaf Extract: Offer soothing properties, ideal for calming post-treatment inflammation and irritation.
• Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP): Boosts cellular energy and supports the extracellular matrix, enhancing skin resilience and firmness.

Effects / Clinical Benefits
