DESCRIPTION:.

Matrixyl 3-Peptide – innovative very potent anti-wrinkle low-molecular peptide stimulates the synthesis of the 6 main components of the dermal matrix and dermal-epidermal junction (DEJ): collagen I, III, IV (and HSP47), laminin-5, fibronectin and hyaluronic acid. It improves the basic biomechanical parameters of the skin condition: skin hydration, density, firmness and elasticity, skin tone and facial oval, thus filling in wrinkles from within, also on the forehead and “crow’s feet”, producing a visible effect of smoother and fuller skin. It gives visible effects of reducing the signs of ageing, improves skin structure, stimulates the synthesis of support fibres, hyaluronic acid, strengthens the dermal-epidermal junction, improves skin elasticity and resilience. The effectiveness of the anti-wrinkle action, especially the lifting effect, reduction in the volume and depth of wrinkles, was confirmed in an in vivo panel study on a group of 25 women aged 42-70 years.

Synpept 2-Peptide – a low-molecular peptide complex (dipeptide) with targeted anti-wrinkle, smoothing, skin elasticity-enhancing effects. It strengthens the Dermal-Epidermal Junction (DEJ Dermal-Epidermal Junction), which has the task of maintaining the cohesion of the dermis and epidermis layers. The main components of the DEJ are collagen fibres types IV and VII and XVII and laminin V, ensuring that the two layers adhere tightly to each other. Synpept strengthens the integrity of the DEJ by enhancing intercellular communication with the DEJ’s building blocks, regulates the anisotropy of elastic fibres in the skin, increases skin cohesion restoring firmness and tone and smoothing out wrinkles. Restores a healthier and radiant skin tone.

Phytrodial – a specific phytoestrogen system with clinically proven efficacy to support hormonal balance. Phytoestrogens extracted from extracts of 8 plants specially selected for their highest content, such as: Stinkweed (Cimicifuga Racemosa), Japanese knotweed (Polygonum Cuspidatum), soy isoflavones (Soy Isoflavones), angelica (Angelica Sinensis), red clover (Trifolium Pratense), pomegranate (Punica granatum), Kudzu (Pueraria lobata), Kwao Krua (Pueraria Mirifica). Phytoestrogens (belong to the group of so-called phytohormones) are estrogenic compounds found in plants, showing similarity to the action of human estrogens. They have a beneficial effect on the skin, reducing changes caused by estrogen deficiency. Phytoestrogens reduce damage to cell membranes, inhibit the action of metallproteinases, key enzymes that break down collagen and elastic fibres in the skin. They stimulate, through fibroblasts, the synthesis of proteoglycans, a key component of the connective tissue matrix, which influence the degree of hydration of the tissue. Phytoestrogens also have an anti-radical action. They increase antioxidant protection, prevent oxidation and damage to cell membranes by slowing down the action of the enzyme collagenase. The Phytrodial complex thus replenishes estrogen deficiency and reduces atrophic changes in the skin caused by hormonal imbalance. It stimulates the synthesis of collagen IV and VII, strengthens the dermal-epidermal DEJ junction and microcirculation. Improves elasticity, firmness, blood circulation and skin tone.

Menoskin – a multifunctional active substance combating the undesirable effects of thinning, sagging, dehydration and wrinkling of the skin of mature and post- and menopausal women, which are the result of disturbances in the body’s hormonal balance. Extracted from a special species of Chinese mushroom Poria Cocos used in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Rich in polysaccharides and triterpenes, it reduces the effects of hormonal skin ageing by affecting key factors such as hyaluronic acid and its receptor CD44, collagen and the SPRR family of proteins.

Allantoin VC – a complex of ascorbic acid with allantoin. Combines the whitening, antioxidant and anti-ageing effects of vitamin C with the soothing and moisturising effects of allantoin. The complex protects against free radicals and UV damage, reduces the effects of photo-ageing and skin ageing. Thanks to vitamin C, it reduces the intensity of hyperpigmentation by inhibiting tyrosinase activity. It lightens skin tone and pigmented lesions due to oxidative damage. It is an active promoter of collagen synthesis and has a rejuvenating effect. Allantoin counteracts hypersensitivity and excessive reaction to the sun. It has antioxidant properties. Protects against free radicals, which are the cause of faster skin ageing.

Sandalwood oil of India’s most valuable variety Album. It is extracted from the pith of at least forty-year-old sandalwood trees with a high content of valuable oils. It has a mild, warm fragrance. It has calming, soothing and antimicrobial properties. It has an antidepressant and harmonising effect and soothes over-stimulation. The oil was valued as far back as ancient Egypt and as an integral part of Ayurvedic medicine.

Coral Algae Extract (Corallina Officinalis) – a natural extract of red algae produced using microwave technology. The red alga has a calcium skeleton similar to coral, hence its name – plant coral. This extract is rich in marine trace elements: potassium (K), magnesium (Mg), zinc (Zn), manganese (Mn) and calcium (Ca). Coralline algae can concentrate up to 200,000 times more of the listed trace elements present in seawater. These minerals are essential for cellular communication and maintain the hydrolipidic balance of the skin, providing elasticity and hydration. Studies also show the antioxidant and antimicrobial properties of coralline algae. At the same time, it stimulates the skin’s metabolic processes, strengthens blood vessel walls and increases resistance to external factors. Algae also supply the skin with proteins, minerals and amino acids. They are an important element of the NMF (Natural Moisturising Factor), a natural moisturising, elasticising and smoothing factor found in the stratum corneum.

Hops extract (Humulus lupulus) – rich in phytohormones, has a beneficial effect on skin metabolism and epidermal renewal. It activates the production of collagen and elastin, counteracts skin flaccidity, strengthens the skin’s structure and accelerates regeneration processes. Hops extract also has antibacterial and calming effects.

Rosemary extract (Rosmarinus officinalis) – is a powerful antioxidant. Thanks to its antioxidant action, it protects skin cells from degeneration. It has an antiseptic, anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effect. In addition, it accelerates the regeneration of skin damaged or destroyed by the sun’s rays. It is also good for regenerating scarred skin.

Sage extract (Salvia officinalis) – purifying with antiseptic, astringent and antioxidant properties. Has anti-inflammatory and anti-irritant properties. Regulates sebum secretion. Strengthens blood vessels – inhibits micro-bleeding from excessively dilated or damaged capillaries.

Hamamelis extract (Hamamelis virginiana) – contains a mixture of tannins, organic acids (gallic, ellagic), flavonoids and saponins. It has strong regenerative, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and strong astringent effects. Soothes symptoms of irritation and redness. Improves blood supply to the skin.

Horsetail extract (Equisetum arvense) – a rich source of silicon. This element ensures that the connective tissue maintains its moisture content, provides the skin with elasticity, resilience and a healthy appearance, and counteracts the formation of wrinkles. It soothes inflammation of the epidermis and accelerates its regeneration, seals blood vessels and has an anti-edema effect.

Lemon extract (Citrus limonum) – has antioxidant, nourishing and anti-wrinkle effects. It contains a lot of vitamin C – one of the most effective antioxidants, which stimulates collagen synthesis in the skin and thus increases the density of the dermis, improves its elasticity and reduces fine wrinkles, in addition to sealing blood vessels.

Asian Centella extract (Centella asiatica) stimulates fibroblasts in the dermis to produce collagen and elastin. It also stimulates the synthesis of hyaluronic acid, contributing to an increase in the skin’s water content and thus hydration. It also has an antioxidant effect and accelerates angiogenesis, i.e. the development of new blood vessels. All these properties result in a shallowing of wrinkles. It stimulates circulation, has an anti-edema effect and strengthens the skin’s blood vessels.

Pine extract (Pinus sylvestris) – an ingredient with antibacterial, antifungal, antiseptic and analgesic effects. It has warming, muscle relaxing and vasodilating properties. It aids the removal of toxins from the skin, improves elasticity and hydration, as well as the penetration of active substances into the skin. Promotes healing of wounds, frostbite and inflammation.

Yamus yam extract (Dioscorea Villosa) – contains steroidal saponins, substances which exhibit effects similar to progesterone. It is mainly used by women as it restores the balance of sex hormones. Studies have shown that the plant relieves menstrual pain, premenstrual symptoms and relieves the discomforts of menopause. The extract is also used in cosmetics, as it improves firmness, moisturises and makes the skin more supple.
