Skin care

Skin ageing is mainly marked by a progressive loss of skin elasticity, due to a reduction in the synthesis of collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid, because as we age, stem cells are less active and the production of these molecules is greatly reduced. Studies have shown that Age-defying Algo'boost acts directly on our skin's stem cells and fibroblasts (the cells that synthesise collagen).

Properties

As a cosmetic ingredient, Age-defying Algo'boost is recognised for the following properties:

  • Helps restore the ability of dermal stem cells to divide, thereby boosting their action. Helps dermal stem cells regain their optimal vitality. Stimulates fibroblast activity.

  • Boosts collagen synthesis.

  • Reduces wrinkles: in-vivo studies (carried out on a panel of volunteers) have shown that Age-defying Algo'boost tightens the skin, helps fill in wrinkles and gives mature skin a smoother appearance. After 28 days of twice-daily use of Age-defying Algo'boost 2%, 80% of volunteers observed a significant reduction in the main wrinkles, particularly crow's feet.

  • Smoothing effect on the skin.

Indications

  • Mature skin

  • Around the eyes (frown lines, crow's feet)

  • Neck
