Some Key Ingredients
WILD ROSE
According to the myth, the rose was once white until Aphrodite, hurrying to save her dying protégé, Adonis, was pricked by a rose and stained the white petals with blood. Since then, roses are thought to be Aphrodite's flower and are used to symbolise regeneration. A natural source of vitamin C, wild rose shows significant repairing activity for fine lines and wrinkles, imperfections and skin discolourations. Rich in linoleic and linolenic acid, wild rose oil has healing, moisturizing, and softening properties while forming a protective film on the skin that helps cell regeneration and improves the texture of the epidermis.

THYME HONEY
Honey attracts and absorbs water like a hydro-regulating agent when used as a cosmetic, ensuring ideal skin hydration. Thanks to its exceptional softening properties, it improves skin elasticity and provides a velvety texture. Along with its famed invigorating properties, Korres uses nothing less than edible Greek thyme honey for its enticing aroma and rich, sublime taste.

RYE
Rye grain active extract boosts the synthesis of proteins that promotes the cohesion of the two layers of skin: the dermis and the epidermis. It also kick-starts the natural defence of skin cells against external ageing factors resulting in the firming and revitalisation of tired looking skin and fewer wrinkles.

SUGAR
Sugar is a simple, everyday substance that also works as a moisture magnet under low humidity conditions. Since it has a similar composition to the skin, it's easily absorbed and works more effectively with the skin's natural structure. In the Sugar Crystal Multivitamin Day & Night Cream, the sugar hydrating derivative works with pro-vitamin B5, vitamin F, and Shea butter to effectively moisturise the skin.

EYEBRIGHT
Eyebright or Euphrasia (euphrasia officinalis) is an herb named after the Greek Euphrosyne (meaning "gladness") who was one of the goddesses of the Three Fates. As the name suggests, Eyebright is great for the eyes and refers to the "gladness" felt when vision was improved from using this herb. In the Korres Eyebright firming eye cream, Euphrasia extract minimises eye-puffiness, and revitalises the delicate skin area around the eyes.
