PRESCRIBEDsolutions [Customized Skincare] Anti-aging Ingredients

Anti-aging Ingredients :

Hydrolyzed Collagen - an important skin-conditioning agent, a hydrolysate of natural collagen, provides essential protein to the skin by stimulating the fibroblast synthesis of these proteins; regulating cell activity, and normalizing intercellular communication, thereby resulting in a rapidly visible reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles as well as damage caused by environmental factors, especially UV exposure.

Hydrolyzed Elastin - a hydrolysate of natural elastin, works synergistically with hydrolyzed collagen and has been documented in clinical studies to prevent and counteract premature loss of elasticity to restore a young and smooth appearance to the skin.

Glycosaminoglycans - In a phospholipids, sphingolipids delivery system, they restore the skin’s lipid barrier and simultaneously provide needed hydration to aging skin, clear away dead skin cells to reveal younger cells lying beneath the surface and protect the skin from further oxidative damage.

Squalane - is a hydrocarbon historically found in large quantities in shark’s liver oil and now extracted from olive oil. Squalane provides rapid and visible firming to the skin.

Lactic acid - is a member of the alpha hydroxy family which is a component of the skin’s own natural moisturizing factor. It is present in certain foods, fruit and sour milk. Lactic acid acts as a PH adjuster to balance the acidity and alkalinity of the skin and is effective in improving the appearance of photodamage and surface pigmentation.

Algae (Haslea Ostrearia) Extract - attacks the release of collagenase, an enzyme that attacks the collagen, the most abundant structural protein in the skin. By preventing the activity of collagenase and other proteolytic enzymes, the skin can retain its resilience and youthful appearance. In an Extracellular Matrix Assay, algae extract at a 1% level was been shown to inhibit ECM degradation by nearly 30% after 4 hours. In anti-irritation testing, algae extract at a 1% concentration, the prophylactic anti-erythemal activity was almost 100%.
