Key Benefits
- Skin Normalization Foundation: Supplies a rich dose of Retinyl Propionate to serve as the fundamental skin-normalizing vitamin required to build a normal, healthy, and well-functioning epidermis and dermis.
- Barrier Function Optimization: Promotes the skin's Natural Moisturising Factors (NMF) to establish a strong, resilient barrier that locks in hydration and keeps the skin deeply refreshed.
- Supports Skin Immunity: Potentiates vital Langerhans cells to actively reinforce and support the immune function of the skin matrix.
- Sebaceous Gland Regulation: Balances overactive or problematic skin conditions by normalising sebaceous activity for a more uniform complexion.
- Cutaneous Repair Activation: Employs Matrixyl® 3000 to trigger the skin's natural internal repair processes, boosting the formation of collagen, elastin, and glycosaminoglycans.
- Structural Degradation Defense: Helps guard structural collagen fibers against the breakdown and degradation characteristic of compromised or mature skin.
- Stabilizes Pigment Distribution: Works at a cellular level to balance out and stabilize the distribution of melanin, promoting a more even-toned skin appearance.
- Multi-Phase Free-Radical Shielding: Combines oil-soluble Vitamin C, pure Vitamin E, and South African Rooibos and Honeybush extracts to quench free radicals and protect skin from intense environmental stress.
