MOISTURIZING
Increases the power of skin’s water retention for deep and even hydration of the different epidermis layers.
➔ Stimulates aquaporins and improves the flow of moisture between the skin's various layers to hydrate them all evenly, thanks to low molecular weight Hyaluronic Acid and Rosa Centifolia stem cells.
➔ Maintains the quantity and volume of water in the cells of the various layers of the epidermis, even in the event of "dehydrating" aggressions, thanks to the hydrating Osmoprotective Complex. It is the concept of aqua-homeostasis.
➔ Reinforcement of the cutaneous barrier to limit the insensible losses in water, thanks to :
- the Rosa Centifolia stem cells which support the creation of intercorneocyte lipids (free fatty acids, cholesterol, ceramides, etc.) thus contributing to maintain the cohesion between the corneocytes and thus with the reinforcement of the hydrolipidic barrier
- low molecular weight Hyaluronic Acid, which stimulates the proteins involved in cell cohesion.
➔ Reconstruction of the epidermis' water circuit by stimulating cell renewal thanks to the Rosa Centifolia stem cells.
➔ Increases skin's ability to retain moisture in its deepest layers : hyaluronic acid significantly reduces gradual moisture loss.
SKIN SOOTHER
Soothes sensitive skin and reinforces its tolerance threshold for inflammatory reactions.
➔ Immediate relief (within minutes) :
- by stimulation of the production of relaxing neuromediators (b-endorphins)
- by inhibiting sensory communication of heat/burning/irritation/comfort between the epidermis and nerve endings by modulating the level of activity of sensory receptors and messengers.
➔ Reducing inflammatory reactions (lowering the levels of inflammation mediators)
➔ Strengthening the skin's barrier function to lower the threshold of reactivity in the long term:
- Stimulation of the processes of "keratinization" of the epidermal cells to form a more resistant and impermeable horny layer (improvement of the cellular cohesion)
- Restoration of the intercellular cement made up of lipids
- Restoration of the water retention capacity of the epidermis
➔ Reinforcement of the natural defenses to prevent aggressions causing sensitivity/reactivity/irritation: anti oxidative stress action (antioxidant and anti-radical
ANTIOXIDANT
Enhances natural skin defenses and minimizes damages caused by free radicals.
➔ Protects and repairs DNA from oxidative stress.
➔ Protects and reinforces skin cells' integrity against oxidative stress.
➔ Protects against UV rays.
➔ Reduces the production of free radicals caused by UV rays.
➔ Activates skin's hydrating mechanisms to reinforce its primary function as protective barrier.
ANTI-WRINKLES
Stimulates the synthesis of skin’s components to reinforce its elasticity and thus reduce the size and depth of wrinkles.
➔ Amélioration la régénération de lʼépiderme en favorisant la producƟon et la différenciation des cellules
➔ Renforcement de la densité du derme par :
- Protection des cellules souches dermiques pour garantir leur activité de régénération du derme.
- Rajeunissement des fibroblastes
- Stimulation de la synthèse des éléments constitutifs de la matrice extra-cellulaire :élastine, collagène, GAGs (dont l'acide hyaluronique)
➔ Ralentissement des processus de destruction des éléments constitutifs de la matrice extra-cellulaire en inhibant les enzymes responsables.
Résultats : les rides sont réduites, la peau est lissée.
FIRMNESS
Arsenal of anti-aging actives for a firmer, redensified and replenished deep down skin.
➔ Reinforcement of the density of the dermis by :
- Revitalization of dermal stem cells to optimize their activity and the regeneration of the dermis.
- Stimulation of the production of macromolecules of the dermal extra-cellular matrix: elastin, collagen I, III and V, and GAGs (including hyaluronic acid).
➔ Protection against the destruction of elastin (inhibition of elastase) and dermal collagen.
Results: firmer and more elastic skin, a more defined facial contour, reduction of wrinkles.
RETINOL
GLOBAL ANTI-AGING ACTIVE INGREDIENT WITH PROVEN EFFECTIVENESS: STIMULATES CELL RENEWAL, FIRMS AND REDENSIFIES THE SKIN, SMOOTHES OUT WRINKLES AND FINE LINES, FADES DARK SPOTS AND UNIFIES THE COMPLEXION.
Stimulation of cell renewal and epidermal thickening thanks to the increased proliferation of keratinocytes. As a result:
➔ wrinkles and fine lines fade,
➔ the firmness and elasticity of the skin improve,
➔ pigmentation spots lighten,
➔ the complexion becomes more even.
LIGHTENER
Acts on the skin’s natural pigmentation mechanisms to safely lighten skin.
Acting on all 4 stages of the skin pigmentation mechanism:
➔ Limitation of the differentiation and proliferation of melanocytes = decrease in their number, size, level of maturity and therefore capacity to produce melanin.
➔ Regulation of melanin synthesis by:
- limiting the synthesis of the melanin precursor (tyrosine)
- inhibiting the activity of enzymes involved in its production process (tyrosinase).
➔ Blocking the transport of melanin to the cells on the surface of the skin.
➔ Inhibition of the coloration of the melanin already existing on the surface of the skin.
Results : lightening effect and reduction of spots.
