Ingredients

Kinerase offers a wide range of skin care products but our acne review team was mainly interested in the acne treatment products offered by them. We therefore closely examined their products like Clear Skin Blemish Dissolver and Kinerase® Clear Skin Starter Kit. Some of the active ingredients found in these products and other skin care products by Kinerase include:

Kinetin is an important ingredient found in most of the products developed by Kinerase. It helps in improving the skin texture and reducing the visible signs of aging.

Zeatin is also one of the most important ingredients found in the Kinerase Pro+Therapy collection. Zeatin is a physician-grade growth factor which helps in maintaining the youthful appearance of human skin cells. It also enhances their antioxidant benefits. The antioxidant effects of Kinetin and Zeatin improve hyperpigmentation and skin roughness.

Salicylic Acid and Glycolic Acids, help to cleanse pores by reducing the excessive build up made of dead skin cells and oil extracts.

Lemon extracts helps in purifying the skin. It also has toning benefits.

Avocutine is a patented ingredient, derived from the avocado pears. It helps in controlling the excess oil production.

Website

The website of Kinerase is simple and basic. Our Acne in review team was not very impressed by the website. We felt that it could have been better and more attractive. Navigation is easy, and those who need extra help can use the ‘search tab’ to find particular information.

In the homepage of the website, visitors will find tabs like Home, About Kinerase, Shop Kinerase, Skin Care Regimen, and Insider Program. In the left-hand side of the website, visitors will find a section which allows them to surf the website for products based on different priorities like: Skin Type, Category, Product, and Regimen.

Our acne treatment team really liked the ‘Skin Care Regimen’ feature of the website. It offers free skin care routine analysis based on your skin type. It offers your advise on both morning and night skin care regimen.
