0.3 % vitamin A (retinyl palmitate), complemented by a balanced combination of the antioxidants coenzyme Q10, ferulic acid and vitamin E.
The structure of the skin changes as we age. Skin cells work less actively, the fat layer thins, and collagen and elastin fibres in the deeper layers lose strength. The sweat and sebaceous glands supply the cells with fewer nutrients and less oxygen from the blood. Elasticity and hydration decrease, firmness diminishes and the skin becomes dry, thin, dull and lined.
Alongside 0.3 % vitamin A (retinyl palmitate), one of the most effective anti-ageing actives, this concentrate contains a perfectly balanced combination of antioxidants: coenzyme Q10 (ubiquinone), ferulic acid and vitamin E (tocopherol) help prevent premature skin ageing. The effectiveness of these actives is documented by numerous clinical studies. The formulation is also free from PEG, aluminium and preservatives.
Vitamin A is important for the growth, function and structure of the skin. It supports the formation of corneocytes and the production of collagen; a reinforced collagen scaffold keeps the skin firm and supple. The regeneration of skin cells is improved, which prevents wrinkles over the long term.
Ferulic acid occurs in higher concentrations above all in green beans, dill, cabbage and rice. This natural polyphenol is distinguished by a particularly strong antioxidant effect that clearly exceeds that of resveratrol, and so helps prevent premature skin ageing.
Coenzyme Q10 is a vitamin-like compound produced by the body that stimulates energy production in skin cells and so supports skin regeneration. The body’s own Q10 production declines markedly from the age of 20. Supplying it via the skin can counteract this and reduce skin ageing over the long term.
Vitamin E is a component of all human cell membranes, but is produced only by photosynthetically active organisms such as plants and cyanobacteria. As a lipid-soluble antioxidant it protects polyunsaturated fatty acids in membrane lipids, lipoproteins and depot fat from destruction by oxidation. Tocopheryl acetate is a form of vitamin E with a pronounced radical-scavenging effect.
Apricot kernel oil absorbs quickly after application and leaves virtually no sheen. It improves the skin’s lipid mantle and protective layer.
Even Cleopatra valued the effect of almond oil, which is obtained from sweet almond kernels. It absorbs quickly after application and leaves virtually no sheen. Almond oil improves the skin’s lipid mantle and protective layer.
Important note on the high vitamin A content
Because of the high vitamin A content (0.3 % retinyl palmitate), allergic skin reactions may occur at the start of treatment – particularly under increased UV exposure. The skin subsequently calms down as treatment continues.
Apply the intensive concentrate (one pipette) to the face, neck and décolletage morning and evening and spread it with your fingertips. Avoid the eye area.
