Overview

Product Details

The A.G.E. recovery works in synergy with pHformula’s professional skin resurfacing treatments to provide multiple age-reducing benefits. The appearance of fine lines and wrinkles can be diminished by the potent combination of Niacinamide, Pyruvic acid, and Retinol. The powerful antioxidants Pycnogenol and Retinol provide protection against age-causing free radicals. The appearance of hyperpigmentation spots can be reduced by the synergistic action of Niacinamide, Galactaric acid, and Retinol. Glycolic acid, Pyruvic acid, and Retinol assist in boosting collagen synthesis, as well as improving cell differentiation and skin barrier function, allowing for optimal renewal. The formulation contributes to skin brightening and assisting in providing a more even-toned complexion.

Key Benefits

• Aids in reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

• Provides powerful antioxidant protection to reduce external damage that promotes ageing.

• Helps diminish the appearance of hyperpigmentation spots.

Key Ingredients

  • Glycolic acid – is an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) that is clinically proven to loosen the glue-like bonds that hold skin cells together, thus shedding the top layer of dull, damaged, and ageing skin.

  • Niacinamide – has potent antioxidant properties and helps to strengthen skin barrier function resulting in less irritation. Contributes to the inhibition of glycation, decrease fine lines and wrinkles, and reduces melanosome transfer from melanocytes to surrounding keratinocytes, assisting in the reduction of hyperpigmentation.

  • Glycyrrhetinic acid – has antioxidant and skin soothing properties.

    Panthenol – helps to improve and increase skin moisture, making the skin feel softer and more elastic. It contributes to soothe irritated skin, promotes epithelialisation, and helps to heal the skin.

  • Sodium ascorbyl phosphate – SAP is a watersoluble, highly stable form of vitamin C. It is a powerful antioxidant that helps to boost collagen.

  • Pycnogenol® – Pinus pinaster, also called Maritime Pine is a rich source of flavonoids, catechins, proanthocyanidins, and phenolic acids. It offers antioxidant skin protection, helps to reduce hyperpigmentation, and improves the skin barrier function. Maritime Pine has shown to stimulate collagen synthesis while simultaneously reducing UVinduced wrinkle formation, making it an ideal ingredient for age-reducing formulations providing healthy and youthful-looking skin.

  • Galactaric acid – is an antipollution active ingredient. It interferes with melanogenesis and improves the appearance of disolourations and bags under the eyes. It also helps to protect the skin from oxidative stress and contributes to reduce the signs of premature skin ageing.

    Pyruvic acid – helps to induce an increase in the deposition of collagen, elastin, and glycoprotein in the papillary dermis thereby contributing to the reduction in fine lines & wrinkles. Its keratolytic action will contribute to improve dull skin.

  • Retinol – is a key ingredient that promotes skin renewal and enhances collagen production. It is converted to its biologically active form in the skin – retinoic acid – where it binds to CRABP-I and CRABPII proteins helping to transport it into the cell nucleus where it targets the genes. Retinol helps to trigger the activation of transcription factors: Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF) for keratinocyte proliferation and the TGF-β / CTGF pathway (Transforming Growth Factor beta / Connective Tissue Growth Factor) for fibroblast activation and extracellular matrix restoration. Retinol contributes to the reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, and age spots as well as hyperkeratinisation. It is an antioxidant that helps to protect the skin against ROS-induced DNA damage. Retinol helps to increase epidermal thickness, skin firmness, and elasticity as well as collagen production.

  • PH-DVC™ (delivery vehicle complex) – an advanced delivery complex used in the pHformula formulations to enhance penetration of the active ingredients. It is composed of a delivery system, a soothing ingredient, and a cell activator complex named Respiderm. Respiderm assists to increase cellular oxygenation as well as wound healing, promoting collagen and elastin synthesis. Cellular activity is enhanced while having a soothing effect. Respiderm can potentiate the activity of other active ingredients.
