  • The Decoder by CODAGE is a series of information sheets that allow you to better diagnose your needs, understand your skin’s metabolism and, above all, get to know every active ingredient in the collection.

    An intelligent approach to active cosmetics that allows you to truly understand your skin and take good care of it, effectively and simply…

  • Nutri-Elements are the foundation of the CODAGE visual identity, and are «cocktail» of an average of 3 active ingredients with a synergistic action.
    Most Nutri-Elements are available in 3 concentrations (3-max, 2-med, 1-min) to ensure a perfectly calibrated formula.

    Given specific skin needs, nutri-elements are dosed and assembled to form a unique «codage» and to reveal the product formula.

  • Presentation

    GRADUAL AND CONTROLLED PERFUSION OF AHA INTO THE SKIN FOR COMPLETE CELL RENEWAL WITHOUT ANY IRRITATING EFFECT

  • Mechanisms of action

    Weakening of the cohesion of the stratum corneum by the AHAs to increase desquamation and thus accelerate cell renewal. As a result, in 4 weeks of treatment :

    ➔ the radiance of the complexion is boosted,

    ➔ the skin texture is refined,

    ➔ skin spots and imperfections (blackheads, acne scars, etc.) are reduced

    A new technology of release of active ingredients allows a better, progressive and controlled diffusion of AHAs from the surface of the skin. This technology makes it possible to use low concentrations of AHAs capable of matching the performance of highly concentrated conventional treatments while without the problems of irritation and inflammation.
