Action & Care

SUMMER TIME is the special summer edition that reignites the skin’s natural defenses to ensure an optimal level of protection.

A subtle alloy of moisturizing, mattifying and soothing agents maximize skin comfort and softness. A thermo-protective active ingredient helps skin face climatic stress caused by intense heat by activating the synthesis of thermopile proteins for a better resistance to dehydration.

Moisturizing

Max

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.
Ma¹

Matifying

Min

Balances sebum production and reduces the size of pores for an immediate and long-lasting mattifying effect.
➔ Reduction of sebum secretion by :
- Reduction of sebum synthesis by sebocytes (cells that synthesize sebum),
- Regulation of the proliferation and differentiation of sebocytes: it is at the end of their cellular differentiation cycle that sebocytes disintegrate by emptying their lipidic content which then rises to the surface of the skin = sebum.
- Reduction of the size of the pores to limit the passage of sebum
➔ Compensating effect against the decrease of sebum: [Ma] reinforces the hydrous circuit and the water retention in the epidermis.

➔ Improves cellular respiratory system to promote the elimination of toxins.

➔ Prevention of inflammatory skin reactions resulting in increased bacterial proliferation (particularly those of bacteria responsible for acne).
Ap³

SKIN SOOTHER

Max

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
Ao³

Antioxidant

Max

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.
Po³

Anti-pollution

Max

Increases skin's natural protection against pollutants by preventing their adhesion and by facilitating their elimination.
➔ Limitating the adhesion of pollutants on the skin of the following types: atmospheric (carbon particles and heavy metals), free radicals generated by UV exposure, and domestic (chemical pollutants). By preventing their adhesion, penetration is limited.

➔ Antioxidant protection for skin cells, DNA, proteins and lipids against oxidative stress reactions due to pollutants that have managed to penetrate the epidermis:
- Antioxidant supply
- Preservation and stimulation of the natural antioxidant pool
➔ Reactivation of cellular metabolisms thanks to the stimulation of energy production (ATP), in particular those of purification (detoxification) of waste generated by pollution.
Et

Heat protection

Max

Preserves the skin’s ability to stay hydrated and protected when exposed to intense heat.
Infrared radiation represents more than 50% of the solar energy reaching the skin, it is particularly dangerous in environments with intense heat.

➔ Protection of cells against oxidative stress generated by infrared radiation
- Inhibition of the formation of free radicals
- Reducation of the inflammation induced by an overexposure to infrared radiation
➔ Reinforcement of the skin's integrity in situations of extreme heat:
- Improvement of hydration and limitation of insensible water loss.
- Maintenance and protection of the dermal architecture (elastin and collagen) to limit the appearance of wrinkles.
- Reinforcement of the cohesion of the stratum corneum for optimization of the barrier function.
- Stimulation of the metabolic activity of mitochondria (cellular respiration) and natural detoxification processes.
Br

Tanning

Max

STIMULATES MELANIN SYNTHESIS FOR A DEEPER, MORE EVEN AND LONGLASTING TAN.

➔ Increase of melanin production without the need for prolonged exposure to the sun by providing tyrosine (the amino acid used for melanin synthesis).

➔ Prevention and protection of the skin against the harmful effects caused by UV rays (Tamanu oil and sesame oil naturally protect the skin from UVs).

*The ingredient lists of CODAGE Paris products are regularly updated. Before using a product, please refer to the prevailing list printed on its packaging to ensure that the ingredients are suitable for your personal use.

Usage Recommendations:

1 / When the bottle is closed, press firmly on the dropper for 3 seconds to load it.

2 / Release the pressure, unscrew the dropper and press it to pour a few drops of serum into the palm of your hand.
Apply morning and/or evening to cleansed skin (face, neck and décolleté). Just a few drops are enough. Apply to targeted areas and spread the serum with your fingertips using upward movements.
Finish with a few taps for better absorption.
Serums in the CODAGE Collection can be mixed or applied in layers, to meet different needs.
Once the serum(s) has (have) penetrated, apply your Day/Night Cream to protect your skin.

Mon compagnon d'été

1 September 2014

Première fois que je trouve un soin qui convienne à ma peau en été. D'habitude, toujours trop léger, pas assez hydratant, ou trop gras, me faisant briller au soleil. Là, juste le parfait dosage, le parfait équilibre. Il me suit partout en été sous le soleil
