We believe the key to your best skin lies in a handful of clinically-backed ingredients, which is why every formula is built around six essential ingredients chosen for their proven efficacy.
Meet radford's Signature Six Ingredients:
Vitamin C
Essential for daytime use, vitamin C combats free radicals caused by UV rays and pollution, helping to protect against premature aging. When paired with Vitamin E and Ferulic Acid, it becomes eight times more effective. Vitamin C, a key ingredient in skincare, is one of the most studied antioxidants. It brightens the complexion, supports collagen production, and helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, making it a vital addition to any skincare routine.

AHAs / BHAs
AHAs (like lactic and glycolic acid) work on the skin’s surface to gently remove dead skin cells for smoother, brighter skin. BHAs (like salicylic acid) penetrate deeper to clear pores and prevent breakouts. A good identifier for an effective AHA / BHA formula is the inclusion of niacinamide to enhance the effectiveness, as well as by its viscosity. The thicker and tackier the formula, the more effective it is. Together, they enhance skin renewal for smoother, clearer, and more radiant skin.

Ceramides
Ceramides are essential for retaining moisture in the skin and help to restore and strengthen the skin’s natural barrier, protecting against environmental stressors. When paired with other Signature ingredients such as peptides for enhanced efficacy, ceramides play a crucial role in maintaining healthy, hydrated and resilient skin.

Vitamin A
Essential for nighttime repair, Vitamin A works to repair and rejuvenate the skin while countering the effects of glycation on collagen production. It boosts cell turnover, stimulates collagen, and fights fine lines, acne, and dark spots. It enhances elasticity, refines texture, and promotes a youthful, radiant glow. Incorporating Vitamin A into your routine can lead to healthier skin over all.

Vitamin B
Vitamin B, particularly B3 (Niacinamide), is a powerhouse for skin hydration and barrier repair. It helps even out skin tone, reduce redness, and improve skin elasticity. Known for its anti-inflammatory properties, Vitamin B also regulates oil production, making it ideal for sensitive and acne-prone skin. It boosts skin’s natural resilience, leaving it looking smoother, more balanced, and healthy.

Peptides / HA
Peptides are amino acid chains that help stimulate collagen production, improving skin’s firmness and elasticity. When paired with Hyaluronic Acid, a powerful hydrator that attracts moisture to the skin, this duo works synergistically to plump, smooth, and rejuvenate the complexion. Together, they enhance skin’s strength and hydration, reducing the appearance of fine lines and promoting a youthful, radiant glow.
