Anti-ageing complex: the benefits of this dietary supplement for your skin

The Anti-Ageing Skin Complex – Evening Primrose, Borage & Ceramides is a dietary supplement designed to support the skin as its needs change over time. It combines plant oils from evening primrose and Borage, naturally rich in essential fatty acids, with a patented active ingredient concentrated in plant-based phytoceramides (Ceramosides™), as well as plant-derived vitamin E.

Ceramides are lipids naturally present in the outermost layer of the skin. They play a central role in cellular cohesion, the barrier function and the skin’s ability to retain water. With age, their levels and quality gradually decline, which can result in skin that is drier, less supple and more sensitive.

This dietary supplement provides targeted support for the skin’s beauty from within, supplying essential structural lipids tailored to the needs of mature, dry or sensitised skin.

Spotlight on the Anti-Ageing Skin Complex – 60 capsules – Dietary supplement

This dietary supplement combines the precious oils of evening primrose and borage with the active ingredient Céramosides™, a concentrate of plant-based ceramides with scientifically proven efficacy on skin firmness and wrinkles, and vitamin E to protect against oxidative stress. Ideal for mature and dry skin, it also helps maintain the skin’s suppleness and hydration during the menopause.

Wrinkles and loss of firmness

Over the years, a decline in collagen and elastin contributes to the appearance of wrinkles and a loss of firmness. At the same time, damage to the skin barrier can accentuate the appearance of sagging and a lack of firmness.

The plant-derived phytoceramides provided by the complex help to support the integrity of the skin barrier, resulting in skin that appears smoother, more supple and more comfortable.

Dryness and discomfort

Dry skin and a tight sensation are common when the skin lacks lipids or its barrier function is compromised. The plant-based oils of Evening primrose and borage, rich in essential fatty acids, nourish the skin from within and help improve skin comfort on a daily basis.

Loss of elasticity and suppleness

Gradually, the skin can lose elasticity – particularly as a result of changes in supportive fibres such as elastin – as well as suppleness, as its lipid composition changes.

Essential fatty acids play an important role in the quality of cell membranes and in maintaining the skin’s suppleness. Gamma-linolenic acid, naturally present in evening primrose oil and borage, helps maintain membrane fluidity and thus contributes to more supple and comfortable skin on a daily basis.

Menopause

During the menopause, hormonal fluctuations can be accompanied by visible changes to the skin: increased dryness, loss of elasticity and greater sensitivity. These changes are notably associated with a reduction in the levels and quality of skin ceramides. The Anti-Ageing Skin Complex – Evening Primrose, Borage & Ceramides has been formulated to support the skin during this specific period, by bolstering the skin’s barrier function and hydration.

The Anti-Ageing Skin Complex – Evening Primrose, Borage & Ceramides has been formulated to support the skin as its needs change, providing comprehensive support for its comfort, suppleness and balance.

• Improved skin elasticity and suppleness: the Anti-Ageing Skin Complex – Evening Primrose, Borage & Ceramides has been designed to support the skin as its suppleness and elasticity gradually decline. Its targeted nutritional formulation helps to improve the skin’s overall appearance, leaving it looking more supple and toned

• Reducing the appearance of wrinkles: regular use of this food supplement forms part of an approach aimed at improving the skin’s appearance and smoothing its texture. The skin appears smoother and softer, with visibly reduced wrinkles

• Support for skin hydration and barrier function: the Anti-Ageing Skin Complex helps to preserve skin hydration and support the skin’s barrier function. By helping the skin to retain moisture more effectively, it helps to improve skin comfort and reduce feelings of dryness

• Improved comfort for dry skin: thanks to its formulation combining plant oils and ceramides, this food supplement helps to nourish the skin from within. It helps to improve the comfort of dry skin or skin prone to tightness, leaving it feeling more supple and comfortable day-to-day

• Protection against oxidative stress: the Anti-Ageing Skin Complex – Evening Primrose, Borage & Ceramides also helps protect cells against oxidative stress. This action helps to preserve the skin’s balance and radiance over time.

The Anti-Ageing Skin Complex – Evening Primrose, Borage & Ceramides is particularly suitable for:

• Mature skin that has lost firmness and is prone to wrinkles and fine lines: as we age, the skin can lose its tone and density. It may also appear less smooth and less firm

• Dry skin that feels tight or lacks suppleness: dry skin often feels uncomfortable and tight, due to a compromised barrier function. This formula has been designed to support skin lacking in lipids, helping to improve its suppleness and comfort

• Skin lacking elasticity: when the skin loses its elasticity, it may appear less supple and less plump

• Women going through the menopause: this transitional period can be accompanied by visible changes to the skin, such as increased dryness, a loss of elasticity, greater sensitivity or a weakened barrier function. These changes are linked in particular to a natural decline in the levels and quality of ceramides within the skin.

The Anti-Ageing Skin Complex – Evening Primrose, Borage & Ceramides combines four naturally derived ingredients, selected for their nutritional value and their complementary role in supporting the skin’s beauty.

Ceramosides™ plant-based ceramides derived from wheat

Ceramosides™ is a lipid extract from wheat grains, rich in phytoceramides – lipids naturally found in the skin’s outermost layer. Ceramides play an essential role in cellular cohesion, the skin’s barrier function and its ability to retain water. As we age, their levels and quality gradually decline, which can affect the skin’s hydration, elasticity and comfort.

The efficacy of Ceramosides™ was assessed in a clinical study conducted on this ingredient. Daily supplementation resulted in:

• an improvement in skin hydration, with a +9% increase after just 14 days and up to +19% after 56 days compared with placebo*

• a reduction in wrinkle depth, reaching -9% after 56 days compared with placebo*

• an improvement in skin elasticity, with a 10 per cent increase after just 14 days and up to 18 per cent after 56 days*

• a reduction in transepidermal water loss, a key marker of barrier function, of up to -15% after 56 days*

In the Anti-Ageing Skin Complex, Ceramosides™ is provided at a dose of 70 mg per day, corresponding to the amount used in clinical trials. It is guaranteed gluten-free and GMO-free, as the manufacturing process excludes wheat proteins to retain only the lipid fraction.

* A randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial involving 30 women aged between 50 and 60, conducted over 56 days.

A synergy of evening primrose and borage oils

The cold-pressed virgin evening primrose and borage oils are naturally rich in essential fatty acids, particularly gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), an omega-6 fatty acid that is relatively rare in the diet.

GLA is an important component of cell membranes. It plays a role in their structure and fluidity, thereby helping to maintain the skin’s suppleness and comfort. This blend of plant oils nourishes the skin from within and complements the action of the ceramides in the formula.

Plant-based Vitamin E

Vitamin E is recognised for its antioxidant properties. It helps protect cells against oxidative stress, a process involved in skin ageing. In the Anti-Ageing Skin Complex, it also helps to protect the plant oils in the formula.

Two capsules provide 12 mg of Vitamin E, which is 100 per cent of the Nutrient Reference Values.

1. Working from the inside out with the dietary supplement

The Anti-Ageing Skin Complex should be taken at a dose of 2 capsules a day, swallowed with a glass of water, at any time of day. A 30-day course of treatment, which can be repeated, helps to support the skin’s natural changes linked to ageing and hormonal fluctuations.

2. Supporting the skin with a tailored skincare routine

To complement the effects of the dietary supplement, it is recommended to follow a skincare routine designed to support the skin’s hydration, suppleness and comfort on a daily basis.

After gently cleansing the skin in a way that respects the skin barrier, apply the AA Collagen 1.5% Serum to the face and neck. Its formula, based on vegan collagen and hyaluronic acid, helps to improve the skin’s elasticity, smooth the appearance of wrinkles and boost hydration.

For dry, sensitive or uncomfortable skin, the Organic French Borage Skincare Oil can be used on its own, as a serum, or alongside a serum, to nourish the skin and strengthen the hydrolipidic film. It restores suppleness and helps to soothe feelings of tightness.

The routine is completed by applying the Vegan Collagen & Spilanthes Rich Cream, morning and evening. Its rich, creamy texture provides intense hydration, improves skin comfort and helps to counteract the visible signs of ageing, for skin that is more supple, soft and comfortable day after day.

These products can be combined with massage techniques or facial yoga, performed whilst applying the products, to optimise the absorption of the formulas, stimulate microcirculation and help relax the facial features.

3. Adopting a lifestyle that is good for your skin

A healthy lifestyle plays a central role in the balance and appearance of the skin over time. To support this anti-ageing routine as part of a holistic approach, it is advisable to:

• opt for a balanced diet, rich in essential fatty acids (high-quality vegetable oils, nuts and seeds), and colourful fruit and vegetables, which are natural sources of antioxidants,

• stay sufficiently hydrated throughout the day, which is essential for skin comfort,

• incorporate daily physical activity, tailored to your own pace, to support circulation and general wellbeing,

These habits, combined with a suitable skincare routine and the use of supplements, help to preserve the skin’s radiance, suppleness and comfort over the long term.
