Star Ingredient Tiracle: Gene-Targeted Anti-Ageing Solution

KANS Polypeptide Collagen Softening range

Dr Akira Date, one of the founders of SK-II Pitera, has led the KANS R&D team through several years of researching and refining processes before revealing the brand’s core patent ingredient tiracle.

Crafted to tackle and solve anti-ageing issues in women’s skin, tiracle features two types of bacteria that act on specific myogenic genes deep within the skin.

That increases the products’ efficacy since it means that the essential ingredients are delivered to where they should reach in order to revitalise the skin’s metabolism and promote a youthful visage.

The first bacteria, Izu Onsen thermus thermophilus (volcanic bacteria normally found in hot springs), is resistant to extreme environments, resists external damage, and works to strengthen the skin barrier.

Meanwhile, the other bacteria, Hokkaido longevity bacteria, helps to speed up self-repair, improve rough ageing skin, and maintain skin vitality.

Other Ingredients

The KANS Polypeptide Collagen Softening Toner and Lotion is packed with an impressive array of powerful ingredients that you can find in top-tier skincare products for healthier skin.

kans polypeptide collagen softening review

  • Peptide combination: This compound, made up of acetyl hexapeptide-8, palmitoyl tripeptide -5, and palmitoyl pentapeptide -4, works to reduce wrinkles and fine lines.
  • Vitamin C: Helps protect the skin from several issues like dryness, wrinkles, sagging, sunburn, photo ageing, hyperpigmentation, and uneven skin tones.
  • Vitamin E: Known as an anti-inflammatory agent in the skin, adding this ingredient to your regimen will support the prevention of inflammatory damage after UV exposure. This includes reducing skin thickness, UV-induced skin swelling, erythema, and edema.
  • Ferulic Acid: This organic compound shields the skin from discolouration caused by sun exposure or a genetic tendency for dark spots. It prevents the appearance of new blood vessels under the skin, granting you fewer visible veins, less redness, and faded dark spots.
  • Carnosine: Slows down the ageing process, protects against processes like glycation and mitochondrial dysfunction, and helps boost the skin’s natural bounce.
  • Carcinine: Its antioxidant and antiglycation functions work to attract and distract harmful sugars and free radicals in your skin, allowing natural regeneration to continue without many interruptions.

The anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative properties may seem to be on overdrive, but it’s actually a good thing!

Although they have similar functions and are used separately in most products in the market, when astaxanthin is paired with vitamin C, vitamin E, and ferulic acid, you achieve the maximum optimal effect to fight ageing skin.

Ageless 4C: Patent Anti-Aging Technology

kans polypeptide collagen softening toner and lotion review

KANS’ toner and lotion also feature their patented technology Ageless 4C, designed to reactivate Type I Collagen and Type III Collagen.

For the uninitiated, collagen is naturally produced by the body but its production can decline with age. Here’s where collagen beauty products come in handy.

Type I Collagen, the most abundant type of collagen in the human body (almost 90% of the total collagen), promotes skin elasticity and firmness, aids in wound healing and tissue repair, and helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Meanwhile, Type III Collagen (the second most abundant) works alongside Type I Collagen in synergy to tackle signs of ageing — restoring collagen and maintaining the elasticity of the skin.

On top of that, there is also Recombinant Human Collagen (RHC), which boasts a remarkable 99.7% purity akin to Type III Collagen.

With that said, the Ageless 4C feature is basically an exceptional blend of everything you’d want in an anti-ageing product!

KANS Polypeptide Collagen Softening Toner and Lotion are priced from S$30 to S$40 at Shopee and Lazada.

My skin has always been dehydrated, but I get oily throughout the day, especially under makeup. Most moisturisers don’t hydrate my skin well enough despite being heavy and thick on my face which I dislike particularly if I’m going to sleep with it on.

My previous toner was more of a water-based consistency, while KANS’ was more of a silky gel texture. I liked the KANS toner better as it’s lightweight, glides across the skin smoother, and feels cooling and hydrating especially in Singapore’s weather. The scent was not particularly strong, which I prefer.

Meanwhile, the lotion was more watery cream-based and felt lightweight which I was impressed by! My previous moisturiser was heavy on the skin but I thought most moisturisers had to be to fully hydrate your skin.

The KANS Polypeptide Collagen Softening Lotion gets absorbed quickly, did its job in moisturising my skin, and doesn’t leave a sticky feeling that I get from most moisturisers. I would use this lotion on days when I feel I don’t need a heavy moisturiser to keep dryness at bay.

The packaging for both products are great (big bottles with a pump mechanism). Application isn’t messy at all like watery toners that would get everywhere; and it’s also very hygienic since there’s no chance of contaminating the contents (as you could with tubs).

After one use, my skin felt hydrated and brighter than before the next morning. I noticed plumper skin in two days, less dullness after three days, and smoother, more refined skin in a week! My skin also appears less oily than it did before the trial.

Overall, I think the KANS Polypeptide Collagen Softening Toner and Lotion combination is gentle, hydrating, and enjoyable. It’s perfect for lazy girls like me since it’s so easy to use and absorbs fast — this two-step skincare routine was sufficient for me to see positive differences in my skin!

I really liked the packaging of the KANS Polypeptide Collagen Softening Toner and Lotion — it feels really heavy and luxurious. I also liked that it was a pumping dispenser as it’s more sanitary and easier to control the amount used!

Sometimes my skin can get a little red and irritated after washing but this toner calmed my skin and was very soothing. I thought that the lotion felt really hydrating yet lightweight, which is important to me when finding a lotion because of Singapore’s humid weather!

After the first use, my skin felt hydrated and “renewed”. I didn’t realise this at first till I compared the before and after images, but the KANS toner and lotion duo made my skin less dull and much brighter in just two weeks.

I also noticed my skin was more refined and there was a reduction in fine lines and wrinkles in only four to five days.

Overall, I like how using the toner and lotion together works well to give me hydrated, bouncy, and more supple skin. Despite only using it for two weeks, I felt that the products improved my skin’s appearance and let me achieve younger-looking skin!

My skin tends to break out with one or two large blemishes from time to time, especially in my T-zone. It changes based on the weather conditions; my skin is slightly oily when I am in Singapore and slightly on the dehydrated side when I am in a cold and dry country like Australia.

At times, my skin becomes so dry that it flakes, particularly on my nose area, and my whole face feels tight when I’m in Australia. When it comes to moisturisers, I’m very particular in ensuring that they’re moisturising yet not oily, have no strong scent, and aren’t sticky.

The packaging for both the KANS Polypeptide Collagen Softening products looks luxurious and motivates me to use it more often! The toner’s dispenser is good as it pumps out the right amount each time I use it and the scent is very pleasant and mild.

As for the lotion, I was a bit sceptical about using it in the beginning. Previously, I wasn’t using any lotion, but rather just a toner and serum as I was afraid a lotion might be too oily for my skin condition. However, this KANS toner can be a great replacement for my moisturisers!

I was impressed by the lotion’s texture as it doesn’t feel oily on my skin, absorbs very easily, and doesn’t leave a sticky feeling either (which I hate the most, especially in humid Singapore). Plus, I love using it before bedtime because of the scent and how comfortable it feels on my skin.

I was told to use the toner and lotion together, and I love the combination of both! The toner does a good job of helping my skin soften and prep for the next step, and the lotion helps me lock in all the moisture I need, leaving my skin with an after-mask effect.

Compared to my previous products, I like that the KANS toner and lotion have a better texture and don’t leave my skin dry or oily.

I would recommend this to anyone who wants to achieve soft and glowy skin! It’s especially suitable for those who wear makeup, as these two products help to plump and hydrate the skin so you won’t end up with patchy makeup.

The packaging of the KANS Polypeptide Collagen Softening Toner and Lotion is made of glass which is environmentally friendly. It also comes with a pump dispenser to prevent contamination.

I like that both products are lightweight, easy to use, and absorb easily. During the first use, I noticed how my skin took in both the toner and lotion well. However, the sensitive areas of my skin reacted and stung a little.

Due to the gel-like texture of the lotion, I do think it can be a good replacement for moisturisers in this climate.

I had brighter and less yellow skin in a week and my skin didn’t break out or get clogged from using the KANS products either. I also felt my skin was moisturised and didn’t get greasy.

The KANS toner and lotion have luxurious packaging, smell nice, and the pump dispenses just the right amount of product needed. Both products have a lightweight texture and don’t feel heavy on the skin at all.

After one use, my skin felt soft and hydrated. Given that I haven’t had time to take care of my skin lately, I was pleasantly surprised by the instant results it gave me.

The lotion, especially, has a silky texture and makes my skin feel smooth. I believe it can be a replacement for moisturisers on days when the weather is extremely hot, and you don’t want to pile too many products onto the face.

In comparison to my previous toners and moisturisers, the KANS products worked really well and didn’t cause any skin irritation.

My experience with the KANS Polypeptide Collagen Softening Toner and Lotion was very pleasant. I had very sunken and dull skin previously but noticed more supple skin in just four days and brighter and less yellow skin in five to six days.

In eight days, I observed a reduction in fine lines and wrinkles. My skin also had a more refined texture in a week.

As a first-time mum, I’m juggling between taking care of my baby and taking care of myself. This KANS toner and lotion duo saves me so much time and gives me good results too. Despite the fatigue and lack of sleep, my skin feels plump and moisturised and looks better after two weeks.

The packaging is luxurious, being in a quality glass bottle, and the dispenser pump works well. The toner and lotion aren’t heavily scented either.

After the first use, I noticed how lightweight the products were and how quickly they absorbed into my skin. I didn’t have any skin irritation, which was my biggest concern, and my skin looks hydrated, softer, and more radiant.

At first glance, the KANS Polypeptide Collagen Softening Toner and Lotion reminded me of a major Japanese brand.

I like the textures of the toner and lotion, as well as how hydrated my skin felt after the first use. I think that the lotion can even be a great replacement for moisturisers in the day.

To be honest, I was a bit concerned about the product’s efficacy as it is made in China. However, the KANS toner and lotion duo have made my skin look younger overall. In one week, my skin became less sallow, more refined, and more plump with a reduction in wrinkles and fine lines.

Compared to my previous products, which just stayed like a film on my skin and caused clogged pores, the KANS products are easy to apply to the face and get absorbed easily. It also feels refreshing and is really good value for money.

I’m pleasantly surprised that the product did not aggravate my skin. My skin also looks better after the two-week trial. It is smoother, and clearer with reduced acne. I will continue using the products.

I love the red glass bottles and the design makes it quite easy to hold. They even have a QR code outside of the box for us to verify its authenticity as we all know there are fake products in the market. There’s no scent as well, which I love as it will not irritate my nose during application.

I like how the lightweight texture feels and how fast it absorbs into my skin. It definitely made my skin feel plumper after the first use, without any of the greasiness feeling.

Due to the sensitive nature of my skin, I usually avoid lotions or cream-type moisturisers as it tends to clog up my pores and lead to breakouts. However, this didn’t happen with the KANS products.

Of all the products I’ve used thus far, the KANS toner and lotion have the best texture and don’t overwhelm my skin even when I incorporate the lotion into my daytime routine alongside a gel moisturiser.

Now, I can feel that my skin is more subtle and bouncy. After one week, I also saw smoother skin with decreased redness and a reduction in fine lines and wrinkles.
