Skin care products function optimally when they are fresh. Product freshness can be adversely affected by light, oxygen, microorganisms such as bacteria and molds, and evaporation. This is particularly problematic when creams are packaged in jars but can also be an issue with standard tubes or pumps. Wonder Cream^® is packaged in an airless-pump dispenser. This airless-pump package ensures that Wonder Cream^® isn’t subjected to environmental degradation as routinely occurs when even high-end creams are packaged in jars. Airless-pumps are expensive and can sometimes look a little plain – but they serve the higher purpose of delivering quality and freshness. Jars are pretty – that’s for sure – but they are not a safe home for world class skin care products

While other products may be ineffective due to low levels of active retinol or irritating due to suboptimal formulation, Wonder Cream^® is different. Wonder Cream^® contains 1.0% retinol - the highest level routinely available on the skin care market today. The retinol in Wonder Cream^® is formulated for delivery in an effective and exceedingly gentle way. To be effective, intact retinol must be delivered retinoid to receptors deep within the skin. Because retinol can be easily degraded by oxygen and light, Wonder Cream^® is packaged in an attractive opaque airless pump container that blocks out air and light. Wonder Cream^® delivers retinol using a proprietary micro-encapsulation technology that allows for nanometer sized coated retinol spheres which are exceedingly gentle and capable of delivering stabilized retinol deep into the skin. This gentle delivery system is then combined in symphony with several other calming and nurturing ActivElements^® and ActivExtracts^® within Wonder Cream^® for a skin care experience unlike any other.

Well, we were wondering what name would be worthy of such a unique and effective cosmeceutical cream and the name just came to us - wondrously. After all, Wonder Cream^® provides results worthy of admiration and has an unsurpassed scientific pedigree.

Yes, Schizophyllan (mushroom β-glucan) is a highly purified ActivExtract^® of cultivated mushroom that serves as a key emollient of Wonder Cream^®. This unique emollient actively enhances immunity and shields skin from inflammatory triggers, irritation, environmental toxins, and damage from UV exposure. Mushroom β-glucan is a natural moisturizing ingredient derived from natural mushrooms that was developed by Korean scientists. It is an expensive ingredient and is not widely used globally in skin care formulations at this time.

Bio-peptide SC (Saccharomyces/Selenium Ferment) is a selenium containing peptide complex that inhibits skin matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). MMP inhibition prevents collagen degradation and dermal matrix breakdown and results in potent anti-aging effects. Bio-peptide SC represents another novel cutting-edge Korean skin care innovation.

The retinol in Wonder Cream^® is carefully selected for quality and specially processed to ensure stability within the Wonder Cream^® formulation. The special proprietary formulation also promotes deep absorption without irritation. Also, Wonder Cream^® is preserved in an attractive airless pump container - shielded from retinol's enemies - oxygen and light.

Amarté has extensively researched the application of sulfur to skin care products and has developed a way to purify and formulate with sulfur that avoids the scent found in less sophisticated products while enhancing bio-availability for skin benefits.

HydroLift^® Cream and Wonder Cream^® have much in common as they both deliver an exceptional skin moisturization and rejuvenation experience. They also differ in certain ways. HydroLift^® Cream is a somewhat simpler formulation than Wonder Cream^®. While HydroLift^® Cream relies on Argan and Macadamia nut oils for much of its moisturization properties, Wonder Cream^® uses a highly purified ActivExtract of cultivated mushroom invented in Korea (Schizophyllan - mushroom β-glucan) for much of its moisturizating properties. This novel natural ingredient also enhances immunity and shields skin from inflammatory triggers, irritation, environmental toxins, and damage from UV exposure. Wonder Cream^® also differs in its incorporation of sulfur for its wide range of therapeutic benefits as well as bio-peptide SC, an ActivExtract^® developed in Korea that helps preserve structural integrity and collagen balance within the skin. Wonder Cream^® also contains an amazing 1.0% retinol which is delivered as effortlessly and gently as its sister product, HydroLift^® Cream.

HydroLift Cream and Wonder Cream are completely compatible. They can be used at the same time or at different times of the day as part of your skin care regimen. For example, Dr. Kraffert likes to use Aqua Veil Hydrator, HydroLift Cream and Ultra Veil (Amarte's soon to be released SPF) in the morning then Aqua Veil Hydrator and Wonder Cream in the evening.
