The “health first, beauty second” philosophy of Skintegra aims to help people deal with difficult skin. They use active ingredients and complex formulations to offer effective solutions by means of extensive research and development. Her founder, Jelena, decided to start this brand when fighting against her own skin concerns: rosacea and oily, acne prone skin.
She worked as a beauty editor and columnist and based her skincare on the information presented by the media, resulting in fruitless, arduous routines. Then, she started to work closely with a skilled team of experts and succeeded. The key to a healthy skin is simple, you must know your skin first. Therefore, Jelena decided to share her accomplishments with the rest of the world because she stands for the belief that no one should give up on their skin.

Ingredients
Bakuchiol is the main active component of Architect (1%). This is a compound derived from the plant Psoralea corylifolia, clinically proven to work as retinol’s functional analogue without the side-effects commonly associated with retinoids (flakiness, dryness, redness etc.).
Retinoids are wonderful anti-aging and anti-acne ingredients, however because of their irritancy sensitive skin is usually not the best candidate for their longterm and regular use. Apposed to retinol, bakuchiol is far less irritating, does not sensitise the skin to the sun and has a better safety profile (can be used in pregnant and lactating women). Because it is less irritating, bakuchiol can be combined with other potent actives (such as acids, vitamin C, niacinamide etc.) and even has a wonderful synergistic effect on the skin, whereas retinoids are often too sensitising to be mixed with other active compounds.
How does 1% bakuchiol affect the skin during 3 month period?
has antimicrobial effects (targeting S.auerus and P.acnes)
has strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects
normalises sebum production by diminishing synthesis of 5-alpha reductase
reduces hyperpigmentations and brightens the skin
affects gene expression for collagen types I, III and V
strengthens protein synthesis of extracellular matrix and epidermis - dermis junction which increases elasticity, tightness and plumpness of the skin
Apart from 1% bakuchiol, Skintegra Arhictect has selected anti-inflammatory and hydrating ingredients such as ectoin, green tea, panthenol, allantoin, caffeine and resveratrol. This combination of ingredients is designed to allow bakuchiol its efficacy without irritation and constantly soothes and replenishes the skin to make it resistant.
