The Technology
Quannessence Skincare is a line of professional skincare products that are created by Nature and balanced by Science.
Quannessence Skincare reflects products that were designed and formulated by doctors, dermatologists, and aestheticians. Our holistic approach applies to both clinical treatments and home care rituals.
Quannessence’s SkinTrilogy© Approach
Quannessence’s unique threefold approach is called SkinTrilogy©, a therapeutic method addressing the primary factors that cause premature aging and environmentally damaged skin.
1) Skin barrier thinning and breakdown.
2) Moisture and nutrient loss.
3) Collagen and elastin degradation.
Quannessence incorporates the latest, cutting-edge peptide technologies for skin remodelling and anti-aging improvement. The products incorporate high concentrations of active ingredients that compete with, or exceed, the efficiency of all other advanced skincare lines on the market. Safe and healthy products are the focus of the Quannessence Skincare line. Our products are based on natural, safe ingredients that don’t contain parabens or other potentially harmful ingredients. Most ingredients are plant-sourced.
The potency of Quannessence Skincare products requires that they are available through professional outlets exclusively.
Naturally Sourced Ingredients
Hyaluronic Acid

It is one of the most powerful humectants found in nature and aids in reducing transepidermal water loss (TEWL) when applied topically to skin. Hyaluronic acid contributes to a plumping effect and augments the smoothing effect of the peptides.

Oat Beta Glucan
Oat beta glucan is a soluble fiber found in the cell walls of oat kernels. As a natural polymer, beta glucan stimulates the immune system and is used in products designed to help heal wounds faster.

Niacinamide
Niacinamide is the physiologically active form of niacin (vitamin B3), an effective, active ingredient with an extraordinary breadth of cutaneous benefits. Aging fibroblasts secrete less collagen than young cells, and topically applied niacinamide has been shown to stimulate new collagen synthesis. Niacinamide can cause vasodilation of cutaneous tissues resulting in increased blood flow and a warm, tingly feeling.
