Astaxanthin 98.7%

How to use : after the essence, apply an appropriate amount gently around the eyes or spread over face with gentle pat.

Astaxanthin is natural pigment of animals and plants, giving them red colour. It's in shells of prawns, crabs and lobsters, feathers of flamingos and in salmon's muscles.

Astaxanthin has ability of absorbing UV rays and it's one of the strongest known antioxidants - it is estimated that astaxanthin can be up to six times more effective as an anti-oxidant than vitamin E and Beta-karoten! Astaxanthin also accelerates skin renewal process, strengthens the protective function of the epidermis, prevents water loss from skin, stimulates production of collagen and elastin.

Applied topically can reduce melanin production by as much as 40%.
Sidmool's concentrate is made of Astaxanthin in 98,7%.
Remaining 1,3% of the product is Butylene Glycol (solvent) and plant extracts:
grapefruit extract (rich in vitamin C, brightening and purifying), eucalyptus and clove extracts (antibacterial), Sophora Angustifolia extract (inhibiting melanin production) and Yuzu fruit extract (skin brightening).

Looking just at the ingredients product seems to be perfect for skin battling with first signs of ageing, acne and pigmentation.

Product is in a plastic 30ml bottle with pump applicator.
The bottle is packed in characteristic for Sidmool brown cardboard box.
The concentrate is runny, so to apply it I first have to pump some on my palm and then pat into skin.
I use two or three pumps for my whole face - two if I want to top it up with some other products, three if I finish my skin care regimen with it.
The liquid is a bit oily, takes a while to absorb and leaves filmy feeling on skin.
