NovaBay Pharmaceuticals expands skincare with “next-gen” brightening and anti-aging formulas
09 May 2022 --- Scientifically-backed skincare formulator NovaBay Pharmaceuticals has improved its “top-selling” Kakadu C and Calm Cool + Corrected product lines with anti-aging and skin brightening ingredients to reduce fine lines, discoloration and pore size.
“Our skincare solutions combine science, innovation and creativity and our formulas mix compassion with expertise to ensure that when it comes to skin, no age group, gender, race or person is left out,” says Dr. Audrey Kunin, M.D., chief product officer and a board-certified dermatologist at NovaBay.
The Kakadu C 1% Retinol with 12% Vitamin C Ferulic Acid and E Complex is a clinically concentrated, powerful combination of ingredients.
“Our use of the Kakadu plum, believed to be the world’s most concentrated natural source of vitamin C, takes this unique formulation to another level,” adds Kunin.
Retinol is a well-recognized anti-aging ingredient among dermatologists; however, those with sensitive skin, eczema or rosacea may not be able to tolerate it.
“I believe everyone deserves the benefits of retinol, so we have also introduced our Calm Cool + Corrected Bakuchiol Retinol Alternative Serum. Bakuchiol is a plant-derived natural ingredient that provides the benefits of retinol without the downside of irritation, making it ideal for those with challenging skin who desire effective anti-aging products,” states Kunin.
She concludes: “Importantly, our newest formulations deliver on the DERMAdoctor promise that clinical skin therapy can be fun and easy for all while producing significant, visible results.”
World’s most concentrated natural vitamin C
Kakadu plum contains 55 times more vitamin C than Florida oranges. The Kakadu C with 1% Retinol + 12% C Ferulic & E Complex is a complex and concentrated formula. The company recommends applying “sparingly with initial use” or not more than every other night.
The 1% Retinol and vitamin C function to exfoliate and promote skin renewal. Ferulic acid and vitamin E fight free radical damage and provide a hydrating emulsion.
Furthermore, the Kakadu plum also protects the skin against “pollutants, oxidative stress and free radical damage.”
The Kakadu plums are harvested in a remote Australian territory.
Bakuchiol Retinol Alternative
“Mega-moisturizing polyglutamic acid, radiance-boosting vitamin B12 and natural AHAs for gentle exfoliation are added together with botanicals into a luxe serum with skin-soothing and calming benefits.”
The Calm Cool + Corrected Bakuchiol Retinol Alternative Serum is part of DERMAdoctor’s Calm Cool + Corrected collection, created for soothing skin prone to irritation and sensitivity.
“All DERMAdoctor products are clean, allergy-tested and hypoallergenic, free of synthetic dyes and cruelty-free with no animal testing,” the company says.
