CONCERN: WRINKLES AND SUN DAMAGE OR PHOTODAMAGE
Ageing is the set of morphological and physiological changes that appear as a consequence of the passage of time, affecting our body’s functions and vitality.
Skin ageing is caused by a series of factors that can be categorised as intrinsic or extrinsic. The former, also called chrono-ageing, is ageing due to genetic factors, and is unpreventable. Extrinsic causes, however, depend on multiple factors, such as sun exposure, tobacco and alcohol consumption, environmental pollution and an unbalanced diet, among others.
But how does this affect your skin? Over time, cell division rates decrease and the dermis begins to thin, the quantity and quality of collagen and elastin fibres decreases, the skin loses its ability to retain moisture and the hydrolipidic emulsion that protects the skin progressively decreases. Pigmentations and dark spots also appear as a result of accumulated sun damage on the skin.
Due to this, the skin loses smoothness, volume, tautness, elasticity, firmness and radiance, which gives rise to the appearance of wrinkles.
The Vital Age line, formulated mainly with Retinol and Coenzyme Q10, offers a comprehensive and complete solution in the fight against the visible signs of ageing, offering noticeable results in the reduction of wrinkles and considerably improving skin health at the same time.
ACTIVE INGREDIENTS
Pure Retinol, also known as Vitamin A, is one of the best-known ingredients, in terms of effectiveness, in the dermo-cosmetic industry. It has an important effect on the modulation of cell proliferation and differentiation, while stimulating collagen and elastin production. In addition, it increases enzyme activity and normalises keratinisation, which improves the cell renewal process. It acts on the skin, making it thicker and more elastic, in a way that reduces the number, length, width and depth of expression lines and wrinkles. It also reinforces the skin’s antioxidant capacity and helps fade dark spots, dramatically improving the skin’s appearance.
Coenzyme Q10 has, on the one hand, an important role in eliminating free radicals and on the other hand, it inhibits collagen deterioration. Another of its functions is to produce energy in the cells and fight UVA-induced oxidative stress. This energy is involved in the immunoprotection, regeneration and repair of cell damage and dysfunction. Q10 is the perfect complement to Retinol, as it reinforces its action and effects.
Retinyl Palmitate is a retinol derivative that can be applied during the day (you’ll find this in the day cream). It acts in a similar way to retinol, although it’s less reactive and less intense.
Shea Butter is a well-known ingredient with powerful nourishing, softening and restoring properties. It’s also a powerful natural cell regenerator. It provides vitality and radiance and improves the skin barrier, thus preventing excessive dehydration and protecting it from climatic aggressors and pollution. It’s very effective in regenerating ageing, dry, dehydrated, irritated and dull skin.
Marine glycosaminoglycan (MDI Complex®) inhibits enzymes that degrade and destroy the skin’s collagen network, improving collagen bioavailability. It makes skin look healthy and fresh, reducing the appearance of dark circles, spider veins, redness, etc. It also repairs the skin’s barrier function, making it more resistant to damage caused by external factors.
Acetyl tetrapeptide (Eyerseryl) is a protein active ingredient that’s proven to be effective in soothing and calming the skin. It offers a decongestant effect against the formation of oedema due to poor lymphatic circulation or high capillary permeability. It inhibits collagen degradation and prevents loss of elasticity and under-eye puffiness.
FORMULATION
The entire Vital Age line is characterised by its intensive action on expression lines and wrinkles. Its formulation with two of the best-known anti-ageing active ingredients on the market, Pure Retinol and Coenzyme Q10, makes it an unbeatable treatment. What’s more, each product has been formulated in a way that enhances the joint action of both ingredients, as well as the fortifying active ingredients, taking into account the mode and time of use.
Another great benefit of its formulation is its SOFT FOCUS effect. In addition to the line’s powerful anti-wrinkle effects, it instantly reduces visible signs of ageing thanks to its interference pigments. Expression lines and wrinkles are only visible because of the light contrasts (light and dark) they produce. Interference pigments interact with light, reflecting and scattering it in and around furrows to illuminate expression lines and wrinkles so they’re less noticeable.
As such, Vital Age works in the medium and long term to effectively reduce visible signs of ageing, but also offers immediate results in improving the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
ACTION
INTENSIVE ANTI-AGEING
Vital Age has an intensive action in the fight against expression lines and wrinkles. It reduces both the depth and length of skin creases significantly, revealing smoother, softer and more elastic skin that’s glowing and radiant.
FIGHTS SUN DAMAGE
Thanks to the joint action of Retinol and CoQ10, Vital Age not only acts on visible signs of ageing, but also helps reverse the effects of photodamage and fade facial pigmentation.
CELLULAR RENEWAL
This line provides additional energy to cells, which stimulates their regeneration and optimal functioning. It also has a light exfoliating effect that helps remove dead skin cells.
