Collagen segment: This active ingredient is a tripeptide made by sequencing collagen. By stimulating fibroblasts, it helps boost collagen synthesis. It also induces the synthesis of macromolecules in the connective tissue of the dermis, glycosaminoglycans (GAG), such as hyaluronic acid. As a result, it contributes to restructuring and thickening the dermis, while also improving its elasticity, firmness and hydration. It therefore helps restore epidermis that has been damaged by age, the sun or the environment. The skin is smoother and softer, while wrinkles are minimized.
Soybean glycopeptides: Soybean glycopeptides boost the synthesis of collagen I to consolidate the dermal layer. Collagen I is the most abundant type of collagen in the body; it is the structural support of the dermis. By boosting its synthesis, this active ingredient strengthens the skin’s resilience and density. The skin’s microsurface is smoothed and wrinkles are minimized.
Vitamin B3: Vitamin B3 (or PP) is a water soluble vitamin belonging to the vitamin B group. It participates in numerous chemical reactions. It stimulates cellular renewal and the synthesis of keratin to improve the signs of aging. Besides, it has a stabilizing effect on the epidermal barrier: it reduces insensible water loss and increases the hydration rate in the corneal layer. Its antioxydant properties also protect the skin from photoaging.
Reconstituted Natural Moisturizing Factor (NMF): NMFs are intracellular water-soluble and hygroscopic substances naturally present in the corneocytes, within the epidermis. Reconstituted NMF have a close affinity with water, helping to capture it and guarantee the effective hydration of the upper layers of the epidermis. They include pyrrolidone carboxylic acid (in the form of sodium salt), amino acids, lactates, urea, and a variety of sugars. They respond to the needs of dry, dehydrated, and/or mature skin.
Centella Asiatica extract: Centella Asiatica is a perennial creeping plant native to India, which can also be found in tropical regions. It is rich in asiaticoside and madecassoside, two saponosides that can stimulate fibroblast collagen synthesis. In addition, its antioxidant action helps combat oxidative stress-induced skin aging. Last but not least, it also has healing, soothing and regenerative properties.
Yeast extract: Yeast is made up of mineral salts, carbohydrates, lipids and vitamins, giving it many beneficial properties. For example, it is very rich in vitamin B, which enables it to help preserve the skin’s integrity. It has a re-balancing effect (for oily or dry skin or scalp) and promotes the healing of certain skin conditions like acne and hyper seborrhea. In addition, this active ingredient stimulates phagocytosis and the formation of lysosomes in the keratinocytes, thereby providing a detoxifying action at cell level which improves the radiance and transparency of the complexion. Moreover, its significant antioxidant effect protects skin from free radicals.
Specific Biologique Recherche Phyto-Complex: The specific Biologique Recherche Phyto-Complex is a botanical complex composed of rockweed, birch, ivy and horsetail. These combined extracts give this phyto-complex toning, detoxifying and purifying properties.
