Why do I need it?
Alpha Hydroxy Acids (which include Lactic and Glycolic Acids) are chemical exfoliants that help remove dull-looking, dead skin cells from the surface of your skin. They are often recommended by dermatologists because of their ability to encourage the rate of skin renewal, resulting in skin that looks brighter and more even-toned.
What should I look for?
Depending on your skin type, some acids can be too irritating, causing redness and stinging upon application.
Why is Fresh Chemistry’s unique?
Fresh Chemistry’s luxurious blend contains five botanical extracts rich in AHAs: huckleberry, sugar cane, maple, orange, and lemon. This unique blend is crafted to gently exfoliate dead skin cells. These botanicals are also antioxidant powerhouses that improve your skin’s resilience against dulling free radicals.
Why do I need it?
Skin needs a combination of water and oil to maintain a strong moisture barrier. Oils are emollients that keep essential hydration locked in to your skin and help smooth the surface of your skin.
What should I look for?
Make sure the type of oil is appropriate for your skin, as it will vary if your skin is very dry, normal, or oily.
Why is Fresh Chemistry’s unique?
Fresh Chemistry’s fast absorbing, cold-pressed super oil is sustainably sourced from the powerful Cacay nut. This luxurious, nutrient-dense oil contains omega fatty acids and vitamin E to nourish your skin so it looks healthy and hydrated.
Why do I need it?
Your body produces Hyaluronic Acid (HA) naturally, but due to environmental aggressors and the aging process, the amount of HA that our body produces decreases over time. Applying it topically can be a good way to reap the benefits of this amazing humectant and hydrator for your skin. It has an ability to absorb up to 1000x its weight in water, therefore acting like a magnet that draws hydration to your skin and keeps it there.
What should I look for?
An ideal HA has a low molecular weight, which means it can be absorbed into the surface layers of the skin where it is needed most.
Why is Fresh Chemistry’s unique?
We carefully selected a low molecular weight and deeply penetrating form of Hyaluronic Acid for our proprietary Base Serum to hydrate and smooth your skin.
Why do I need it?
This unique marine ingredient was first used by scientists to aid in wound-healing. The amazing results led scientists to realize this could be a game changing ingredient in skincare as well, and Fresh Chemistry® is one of the first brands to launch it.
What should I look for?

Why is Fresh Chemistry’s unique?
Our marine elixir features a booster ingredient that harnesses the regenerative powers of the starfish. This ultra-exclusive, cruelty-free ingredient is clinically shown to reduce the depth, width, and volume of wrinkles.
Why do I need it?
Peptides are short chains of amino acids. These amino acids are building blocks for the proteins in your skin, like collagen and elastin, that give your skin firmness and strength. As you age, the natural levels of collagen in your skin decreases, so these peptides can help restore smoothness and resilience to your complexion.
What should I look for?
There are many different kinds of peptides out there, and not all are created equal. It is important to consider the stability of the ingredients in the formula, as well as their ability to absorb into the surface layers of the skin. Also look for peptides in product forms that are meant to stay on your skin, like serums and moisturizers, and not be washed off, like cleansers. This will give the peptides more time to work their magic on your skin, leading to better results.
Why is Fresh Chemistry’s unique?
Fresh Chemistry’s Active Peptide Add In includes peptides that can work on wrinkles regardless if they are caused by gravity, facial expressions, or environmental stressors. The peptides can have a relaxing effect on the skin and help reduce the appearance of wrinkles- no needles necessary! And because you activate it yourself, you know you’re getting the ingredients at their peak.
Why do I need it?
Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that helps fight against damage caused by the free radicals in UV light. We are born with Vitamin C naturally in our skin, but it gets depleted as we age. Using a Vitamin C serum can help you get your skin glowing again.
What should I look for?
Vitamin C is notoriously unstable once its mixed into skincare products, and quickly loses its strength. You’ll notice some products turn brown or smell terrible-- that’s a sign that the Vitamin C is breaking down and won’t be as effective on your skin. Vitamin C can also be quite acidic, and if not balanced properly can have a pH that can wreak havoc on your complexion. Look for Vitamin C products that are specially formulated to have a skin-friendly pH.
Why is Fresh Chemistry’s unique?
Our stabilized Vitamin C is packaged separately for the ultimate in freshness and potency. You mix it in and activate it yourself when you’re ready, so you know you’re getting the full benefit of this powerhouse ingredient. Our stabilized Vitamin C is also optimized to penetrate into the outer layers of the skin, which is key to giving you a radiantly beautiful glow. And as always, Fresh Chemistry® products are formulated with clean ingredients and a skin-friendly pH.
