What Is Cucumber Extract—Is it Good or Bad for Your Skin? (March 2020)

What is Cucumber Extract? 

Cucumber extract comes from (you guessed it!) cucumbers. More specifically, it’s the juice harvested from the cucumber fruit.

Benefits of Cucumber Extract

1. Cucumber is a widely known treatment for sunburn because it has a cooling effect on skin, reducing pain from a bad burn.
2. This extract is great for reducing inflammation and irritation in general. We recommend its use if you have redness or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation as a result of acne.
3. As an antioxidant, Cucumber Extract helps prevent environmental damage and signs of aging.
4. Cucumber Extract is a valuable source of a variety of nutrients, including amino acids, fatty acids and vitamins including ascorbic acid (vitamin C). 

Dermatological Tips

1. Use Cucumber Extract as an after-sun product to reduce pain and redness.
2. Face washes with Cucumber Extract can help prevent irritation caused by exfoliation.

Other Ingredients to Consider

Ascorbic acid is a compound in Cucumber Extract, but it’s also found separately in a variety of skin care formulations. Where possible, choose Cucumber Extract over plain ascorbic acid so you can take advantage of cucumber’s cooling, soothing properties.

Actual Tiege Hanley Member Testimonial

"Being a personal trainer, looking great is part of my job. Had recent string of break outs that really took their toll on my skin and wanted a solution that was simple to follow. Enter Tiege Hanley. After using it since it started, the talks about my skin went from 'what happened to your skin"' to 'what are you doing with your skin, its looks amazing'. Love the AM moisturizer, as it helps keep my face hydrated and doesn't dry it out." Isaiah J. Whiting, IN
