Application
AM/PM routine:
Make sure to have clean skin for best results, having cleansed your face beforehand
Cleanse your skin
Apply serum gently on damp skin with your fingers
Wait until you feel that the serums have been absorbed and penetrated the skin
(Apply treatment creams (acne, rosacea, peels, etc.))
Have dry skin
Apply moisturizer/SPF (to lock in the active ingredients)
* PRO TIP: Always apply the thinner products first (cleanser, toners, serums, creams, etc.), and finish off with ‘sealing’ the nourishing products you’ve just applied, and protect your face with the thicker (moisturizer/SPF) product.
Key ingredients
Niacinamide is one of the commonly known skincare ingredients. It has several positive effects on our skin, and can be used by all skin types and -concerns, as it is sensitive skin safe. Niacinamide is a water-soluble vitamin that we have to obtain through application or consumption. Niacinamide both visibly minimizes and tightens our pores, improves uneven skin tone, softens fine lines and wrinkles, lessens dullness in our skin, besides strengthening our skin’s surface. The wonder ingredient also reduces the impact of environmental damage, because it improves our skin’s moisture barrier, and repairs our skin. Niacinamide has thus both anti-aging and skin tone evening benefits, besides decreasing redness and reducing the appearance of pores.
Hydrolyzed wintergreen oil is a 100% natural and COSMOS approved raw material, alternative to salicylic acid. Salicylic acid is an exfoliant, known for being good at removing dead skin, excess oil, and reducing white- and blackheads. Hydrolyzed wintergreen oil shares the same effects, but is sourced in a sustainable way from berries of the wintergreen bush (Gaultheria procumbens). It is known for having useful effects on the skin, as it can act like a chemical exfoliant and help to remove the uppermost corneocyte layer, and open clogged pores. It also has antibacterial effects against Propionibacterium acnes, which is especially good in anti-acne products. The ingredient is a preservative, antibacterial and a keratinolytic agent. Wintergreen oil is also an anti-inflammatory property, which helps to soothe irritated and inflamed skin (acne/pimples), clears acne, and has a soothing effect on dry and itchy skin. Lastly it diminishes dark spots and blemishes, helping your skin to look more firm and youthful.
Sodium hyaluronate (SH) is the salt form of the skin-replenishing hyaluronic acid (HA), and shares the same benefits, including its ability to retain moisture. In its form, 1 gram (0.03 fl.oz.) HA can retain up to 6 liters (203 fl.oz.), though when used on the skin, it can’t hold that much. But sodium hyaluronate can as a smart ingredient help the skin maintain its water balance – which gives you a healthy, youthful and plumped look. Sodium hyaluronate is a humectant (moisture-binding), but is also considered a postbiotic, meaning it helps nourishing and maintaining the skin’s microbiome. The main difference between HA and SH, is that the skin is better at absorbing SH.
Overall; sodium hyaluronate is a humectant and antioxidant that is excellent in replenishing the skin and moisture-binding. It keeps your skin looking plumped, healthy and hydrated. It benefits your skin by its abilities in soothing, anti-aging and hydration.
Dimethyl Isosorbide is an ingredient that helps to boost the performance of the other active ingredients, and enhance their delivery and effectiveness. Additionally, the ingredient has an ability to penetrate our skin even deeper, into the deeper layers, while also helping other actives to be able to do the same – without causing sensitization or irritation. Dimethyl isosorbide is especially helpful in anti-acne products, as it helps the ingredients to penetrate better and be more effectful.
Anthemis Nobilis Flower Water is a plant extract and antioxidant, with soothing and anti-aging abilities. The Anthemis Nobilis flower is also known as the chamomile flower. The ingredient has significant skin soothing and anti-aging abilities, besides an ability to restore the skin and help it to relax and refresh.
Allantoin is naturally found in sugar plants, but when used in skincare, it is typically produced in a lab. It’s an active ingredient which is anti-irritant and wound-healing. Allantoin has mild keratolytic properties, which gives you a soft skin upon application. It’s also a moisturizing agent that has a calming effect on the skin, and supports the natural cell division. It’s an ingredient that is suitable and beneficial for all skin types. Allantoin doesn’t clog your pores, it creates balance in the ‘grease production’ in your skin and is also an ideal humidifier for more greasy and acne-prone skin. Allantoin is especially beneficial for people with sensitive and irritated skin, who also has a tendency to redness, as it has a calming effect on the skin.

No.22 contains three key ingredients that makes it a unique miracle worker. 4% niacinamide, which is especially good for sensitive, irritated and itchy skin. It tightens and minimizes pores, and improves uneven skin tone – while repairing our moisture barrier. There’s 1% hydrolyzed wintergreen oil, which is a 100% natural alternative to salicylic acid. Wintergreen oil is good at removing dead skin cells, opening up clogged pores, and reducing white- and blackheads. Wintergreen oil also has anti-bacterial and -inflammatory properties, helping to soothe irritated and inflamed skin, and clears acne. Lastly, No.22 contains 5% Dimethyl Isosorbide, which is a performance and effectiveness booster. Dimethyl Isosorbide can penetrate our skin deeper, while also helping other actives to do the same. This means that the ingredients will be allowed to work their way into the deeper skin layers, and thus enhance their effect. The unique combination of the different ingredients will enhance the effect, and work effectively, while being gentle and sensitive.
Easy Skin for Life!
