HEPES

HEPES (Hydroxyethylpiperazine Ethane Sulfonic Acid) is a pH-buffering agent often used in skincare to support gentle exfoliation and improve skin texture.

It helps stimulate natural enzymes in the skin that encourage cell renewal, resulting in smoother, more even-toned skin over time.

HEPES also helps maintain the optimal pH level for other active ingredients, enhancing their performance. It’s commonly found in serums, moisturisers, and anti-ageing treatments designed to promote radiance without irritation.
