What is Hibiscus Extract?
Known as nature's 'botox plant,' Hibiscus Extract is a highly valued botanical active in the cosmetic industry, obtained from the flowers of the Hibiscus sabdariffa plant, famous for its vibrant red petals. This unique extract, featured in Lacinia's innovative skincare lines, is extremely rich in natural alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), amino acids, anthocyanins, and powerful antioxidants. Its natural acidic structure, which helps gently remove dead cells from the skin surface, cosmetically supports the skin's renewal cycle. At the same time, it nourishes the building blocks that preserve skin firmness and elasticity, contributing to the emergence of a more dynamic and fresh skin profile.
Benefits in Skincare
Hibiscus extract focuses on perfecting the appearance of skin texture thanks to its versatile biochemical content. It prepares a smoother base by gently purifying the skin with the natural AHAs it contains. It brightens the skin and provides a natural glow by reducing the appearance of skin tone inequalities. Formulated with Lacinia expertise, hibiscus-infused products revitalize and refresh tired-looking skin.
- Gently purifies the skin at a micro level with its natural AHA components, providing a brighter and more luminous appearance.
- Nourishes and supports the skin against the wearing effects of environmental factors with its intense antioxidant profile.
- Deeply moisturizes by increasing the skin's moisture-retention capacity, enhancing the feeling of flexibility and softening the skin.
How to Use?
Lacinia skincare products containing hibiscus extract usually come in the form of tonics, serums, or face masks. Apply serum-form products gently to your face and neck in a few drops after purifying your skin from dirt with a suitable cleanser. Since it contains natural acids, it is recommended to use the product in your evening routines and to support your skin with a broad-spectrum sunscreen during the day.
Who Can Use It?
Hibiscus extract is an ideal cosmetic ingredient for those with dull, pale, and tired-looking skin. It can be used by all skin types looking to revitalize their skin, achieve a more even skin tone appearance, and smooth the texture. It is an excellent revitalizer, especially for mature skin seeking cosmetic support against signs of aging.
Things to Consider
Since the natural fruit acids (AHAs) in its content can increase the skin's sensitivity to the sun, the use of sunscreen during the day should not be neglected. If you have sensitive or reactive skin, it would be beneficial to measure your skin's tolerance by doing a small patch test on the inside of your wrist before applying the product to your entire face.
