  • Presentation

    Arsenal of anti-aging actives for a firmer, redensified and replenished deep down skin.

  • Mechanisms of action

    ➔  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.

    Over the years, and especially after the age of 45-50, skin has more trouble renewing the building blocks of its membrane, losing in firmness, density and elasticity as a result. Fibroblasts are support cells essential to its structure and involved in the synthesis of key elements, including collagen, which forms a network of fibres and gives skin its solidity, and elastin, which is also composed of fibres, but ones that give the skin its incredible elasticity. Finally, hyaluronic acid synthesis is important for tissue hydration, thanks to its powerful ability to attract water, which contributes to skin density. Consequently, to improve skin firmness, it’s essential to encourage the synthesis and maintenance of collagen and elastin fibres, and of hyaluronic acid – the three key elements of the dermal matrix. Result: firmer, suppler and denser skin.
