What Are the Benefits of the Aroma-Zone Rich Vegan Collagen & Spilanthes Anti-Wrinkle Cream?

Skin ageing is a natural process linked to gradual changes within the skin. However, the rate and appearance of ageing vary from person to person, influenced by internal, environmental, and lifestyle factors (1).

The Decline in Collagen, Elastin and Hyaluronic Acid

Over time, the dermis renews itself less rapidly. The production of collagen and elastin – two proteins that contribute to the skin’s firmness and suppleness – gradually decreases. The hyaluronic acid naturally present in the skin also tends to become scarcer: the skin therefore retains less water, which can accentuate its loss of plumpness and make fine lines more visible (1,2).

Hormonal Changes

Hormones also influence skin quality. At certain stages of life, particularly as menopause approaches and during menopause itself, a drop in oestrogen levels can be accompanied by reduced skin density, elasticity, and hydration. Wrinkles may then become more pronounced, and the skin may appear thinner or less firm (3).

Repetitive Facial Movements

Smiling, frowning, squinting or even speaking: the facial muscles are in constant use throughout the day. Over time, these repeated contractions can create expression lines, often on the forehead, between the eyebrows or around the eyes and mouth.

Oxidative Stress and External Aggressors

Exposure to UV rays, pollution or tobacco promotes the formation of free radicals. In excess, these can weaken the dermis’s supportive structures and contribute to premature skin ageing (4,6). Appropriate sun protection and antioxidant-rich skincare products help limit the effects of these environmental stressors on the skin.

The Aroma-Zone Vegan Collagen & Spilanthes anti-wrinkle cream combines two plant-based active ingredients with complementary actions. The first helps to maintain the skin’s moisture levels and comfort. The second specifically targets the appearance of expression lines.

Biomimetic Vegan Collagen, for More Supple and Plump Skin

Naturally present in the dermis, collagen helps to maintain the skin’s resilience and suppleness. As we age, its production gradually decreases, whilst environmental factors such as UV rays and pollution can accelerate its breakdown. The skin may then lose firmness, and wrinkles may become more pronounced (1).

The vegan collagen in this cream is a biomimetic active ingredient made from plant-derived amino acids. It does not replace the collagen naturally present in the skin, but helps to maintain its surface hydration. The skin appears more supple, more comfortable and visibly plumper.

Spilanthes, the Phytotensor for Signs of Ageing

Native to South America, the Spilanthes (Acmella oleracea) is a plant whose extract is rich in spilanthol. This active ingredient is particularly valued in cosmetics for its action on the micro-contractions that cause expression lines.

When applied to the skin, it helps to visually relax the most stressed areas of the face, such as the forehead, the eye area and the space between the eyebrows. Facial features then appear smoother and less pronounced (5). Researchers are also studying Spilanthes for its antioxidant action and its role in maintaining skin firmness.

Plant-based collagen and spilanthes work differently on the visible signs of ageing. Combined in a single formula, they improve skin comfort, enhance suppleness, and reduce the appearance of expression lines.

After 28 days of use, a dermatologically supervised trial of 33 people assessed the effectiveness of the Aroma-Zone Vegan Collagen & Spilanthes anti-wrinkle cream. The test focused on eight visible signs of ageing: persistent wrinkles, fine lines, loss of firmness, loss of density, lack of hydration, reduced skin plumpness, signs of fatigue and the overall appearance of the skin.

Participants notably observed:

• firmer skin (97%*)

• visible correction and smoothing of established wrinkles and fine lines (87%*)

• hydrated skin (100%*)

• plumper skin (97%*)

• less tired-looking skin (97%*)

• a more youthful-looking complexion (94%*)

Results naturally vary depending on skin type, individual needs and frequency of application. In this assessment, 100 per cent of participants found the cream to be effective*.

*Percentage of satisfaction with the criterion mentioned. The test was carried out in a laboratory under dermatological supervision over 28 days on 33 people.

• Mature skin: This cream is designed for skin showing increasingly visible signs of ageing. In particular, it addresses the needs associated with wrinkles and fine lines, sagging skin, loss of firmness, elasticity and density, as well as a lack of radiance

• Normal to very dry skin: Its rich, creamy texture is suitable for skin lacking comfort, suppleness or nourishment. It can be used when the skin appears drier, and feelings of tightness are more pronounced

• Dehydrated skin: The hyaluronic acid in the formula helps to hydrate the skin. The cream is therefore suitable when a lack of moisture makes the features appear less plump and fine lines more noticeable

• Skin affected by expression lines: Spilanthes extract targets repeated micro-contractions of the face, which can leave marks on the forehead, the area between the eyebrows, the eye contour or the mouth contour

• Sensitive skin that prefers rich textures: Suitable for sensitive skin, its texture absorbs quickly without leaving a greasy film or a sticky feeling. After application, skin stays supple, soft, and velvety.

Focus on the 1.5% Vegan Collagen Concentrated Serum

Containing 1.5 per cent vegan collagen, this anti-ageing serum helps to reduce wrinkles and sagging skin. Its biomimetic complex of amino acids and peptides helps to redensify, plump and firm the skin. Enriched with hyaluronic acid, it also promotes hydration and protects the skin barrier. It is particularly suitable for mature, sagging and dehydrated skin.

1. Cleanse your face: Morning and evening, start by gently cleansing your face, then pat it dry without rubbing. The cream should be applied to clean, dry skin.

2. Apply your serum: If you use a serum, apply a few drops to your face and neck before applying the cream. Allow it to absorb for a few moments. In the morning, you can use the cream with the 1.5% Vegan Collagen Concentrated Serum. In the evening, use it after the Spilanthes & Hyaluronic Acid Concentrated Serum.

3. Next, apply the cream: Take a small amount of Vegan Collagen & Spilanthes Anti-Wrinkle Cream. Spread it over your entire face, working from the centre outwards with gentle movements, then move upwards from the lower part of the face.

4. Extend the application to the neck and décolletage: Also apply the cream to these areas, gently smoothing from the bottom upwards towards the collarbones.

5. Finish with sun protection in the morning: Before any sun exposure, apply a suitable suncare product to protect the skin from the effects of UV rays, which contribute to skin ageing (4).

Avoid contact with the eyes. If it contacts your eyes, rinse thoroughly with clean water. Before first use, carry out a patch test on the inside of your elbow and wait 48 hours to check for any skin reactions. Store the cream away from heat and light. Use for up to 9 months after opening.

This cream can be used with a different serum depending on the time of day. In the morning, combine it with the 1.5% Vegan Collagen Concentrated Serum to help the skin maintain its firmness. In the evening, the Spilanthes & Hyaluronic Acid Concentrated Serum complements its action on the appearance of wrinkles and helps the skin regain its bounce.
