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.
CODAGE continually updates the composition of its Nutri-Elements based on research to offer the best in innovative active cosmetics.

Dark circles

[Cn^a] + [Cn^b] + [Cn^c]

Presentation

Reactivates microcirculation and reduces skin colouring to prevent and correct dark circles under the eyes.
Mechanisms of action
➔ Reduction of the pigmentation of dark circles:
- Non-storage and elimination of blood pigments and their degradation products, which have leaked out of the capillaries.
- Inhibition of the genesis of new vessels.
- Improvement of the blood and lymphatic microcirculation.
- Anti-inflammatory effect to limit the creation of post-inflammatory pigmentation that can form brown circles.
➔ Strengthening of the fragile eye contour area:
- Optimization of water retention capacities and limitation of insensible water losses.
- Contribution of an effect relipidant to rebuild the protective barrier.
- Reinforcement of the density and essential functions of the dermis by stimulation of the synthesis of the components of the extra-cellular matrix (collagen, elastin, GAGs...)
Clinical results
[Cn^a] Association of Matrikines and Flavonoids
[Cn^b] Tuberose Stem Cells

[Cn^a]: Association of Matrikines and Flavonoids
The narcissus of the poets is a perennial European white flower, with early flowering, heady perfume, cousin of the daffodil, which is known since antiquity for its medicinal properties.

➔ In-Vitro :
Stimulation of the elimination processes of blood pigments and their degradation products, which have leaked out of the capillaries: objectified on iron and bilirubin (+600%).

Anti-inflammatory properties, similar to those of aspirin

The skin around the eyes is very thin. It is nourished by a significant micro-network of blood vessels. Dark circles under the eyes result from a change in the capillary walls, which causes leakage of blood pigments. Furthermore, the lymphatic circulation is altered, becoming less capable of draining fluids from skin tissue.

As a result, blood pigments accumulate at the level of the dermis and epidermis. These pigments eventually oxidise, giving dark under-eye circles their colour. To lessen these dark circles, several elements need to be addressed. First, the integrity of the capillaries needs to be maintained and new ones prevented from forming. Next, microcirculation should be improved to support the elimination of blood pigments and to prevent their storage in skin tissue.
