ANTI-INFLAMMATORIES

When skin cells get inflamed they get damaged and age quicker.  Anti-inflammatory ingredients reduce and constrict blood vessels to reduce redness and help to prevent premature skin aging.

ANTI-OXIDANTS

Free radicals and external factors use up the oxygen in the skin (oxidation) which causes premature aging of skin cells.  These free radicals attack healthy skin cells causing them to die and damaging the skin’s ability to protect and heal itself.  Free radical activity creates skin damage as seen by the formation of wrinkles, age spots, loss of elasticity, and weakening the skin cell structure. Anti-oxidants prevent oxidation, damage and aging.

Betaine (from BEETS) is a strong moisturizer.

 

Bisabolol (from the CHAMOMILE PLANT) acts as an anti-inflammatory ingredient that works to reduce and constrict blood vessels.  Bisabolol has soothing, anti-reddening, protective and anti-bacterial actions.

 

CALMOSENSINE™ (3%) -- A complex of Butylene Glycol, Water, Laureth-3, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Acetyl dipeptide-1 Cetyl Ester.  Clinical studies show 3 hours after application, a 21% reduction in wrinkles.  Calmosensine™ helps promote the release of pro-endorphins to provide a tranquilizing effect on the skin.  Calmosensine™ alleviates stress, relieves skin tension, and inhibits the muscle contractions that contribute to the formation of expression lines and wrinkles.  Calmosensine™ reduces deepness in existing wrinkles, increases the skins tolerance to heat, and reduces skins sensitivity.

 

Chronodyn(Euglena Gracilis Extract) — made from seaweed which favors the natural release of calcium which is a source of energy for skin cells — reactivates the cellular metabolism.  Chronodyn™ stimulates collagen and elastin production, slows down skin fatigue which can cause the skin to look dull, improves skins own regeneration process, and makes skin stronger.  After a month of treatment with Chronodyn™ skin is 3 times more compact and 4 times more tone.

 

COLLAGENEER -- A complex comprised of Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil (Sunflower Seed Oil) and Lupinus Albus Seed Extract. Collageneer™ has a triple action effect on the production of collagen: 1) increases production, 2) prevents collagen from secreting from the cell matrix, 3) prevents collagen break down in the cells.  Collageneer™  is a very powerful anti-oxidant and improves the activity and quantity of fibroblasts in skin cells which regulate the production of collagen and elastin. 

 

EYELISS™ -- An ingredient complex of Hesperidin Methyl Chalcone, Dipeptide-2, and Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7 that helps reduce puffiness and bags under the eyes.  Puffiness is caused by fluid build up from poor drainage, fragile capillaries, and loss of elasticity.  Eyeliss targets all 3 causes by improving drainage, improving the structure and strength of the capillaries, and increasing skin firmness and elasticity of the skin.

 

EVENING PRIMROSE OIL is a super emollient skin nutrient, high in essential fatty acids and rich in gamma-linolenic acid (Omega 6).  Essential fatty acids increase regeneration of the protective skin barrier to help maintain moisture in the skin, leaving skin soft and elastic.

HORSE CHESTNUT EXTRACT reduces or eliminates excess fluid retention in the cells which can cause swelling.  Horse Chestnut Plant improves the strength of the blood vessels and circulation of the blood within surface cells.  Additionally, acts as an anti-inflammatory that works to reduce and constrict blood vessels.  The Horse Chestnut Plant Extract is enclosed in a liposome for slow release.

 

Hyalo-Oligo™ is an innovative Hyaluronic Acid with low molecular weight which penetrates deeply in to the skin moisturizing the skin for a long time.  Moisturizing power lasts in the skin for 3 days after application.  Hyalo-Oligo™ fills in fine lines leaving the skin more compact, elastic and smooth.

 

HYDROLYZED WHEAT PROTEIN is a strong moisturizer that helps to smooth the skin’s surface.

 

HALOXYL™ -- A natural enzyme ingredient complex containing N-Hydroxysuccinimide, Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7, Palmitoyl Oligopeptide and Chrysin that targets the underlying cause of dark circles thus diminishing discoloration and a dark appearance.  The skin under the eye is very thin with fragile blood vessels underneath which can leak hemoglobin ultimately causing dark circles as the hemoglobin breaks down and accumulates in the dermis and epidermis.  Haloxyl™ 1) alleviates inflammation and puffiness which can cause the vessels to be very fragile and leads to leakage, 2) increases skin density to better support the micro-vascular network around the eyes, and 3) activates and enhances the skin’s own ability to break down the pigments (from iron and bilirubin) from the blood around the tender eye area.  Over time Haloxyl™ aids in preventing blood leakage by strengthening the weakened capillaries.

 

HYALURONIC ACID protects the skin from excess loss of water and has a strong moisturizing action.  Hyaluronic acid makes the skin more smooth and supple, helps to reduce fine lines, increases elasticity and brightness, and helps to tone and restore the skin.

 

IVY has strong toning and tightening properties.

 

NUTELINE® (Hydrolyzed Hazelnut Protein) is made up of proteins and peptides of low molecular weight to penetrate deep in to the skin to help improve production of collagen and elastin.  Nuteline® stimulates the absorption of collagen, increases the integration of ceramides and necessary fatty acids in to the skin that keep skin looking youthful and nourishes the skin.  Nuteline® stimulates the metabolism of skin cells.
