Most products positioned as 'anti-aging' products promise to minimize, and even erase, the manifestations of skin aging, such as wrinkles. There are products that can help minimize the appearance of wrinkles, but no wrinkle is completely curable. A better approach would be to treat skin aging at the source by addressing the actual biochemical reactions that trigger these changes in skin before they start.
Dermalogica is introducing AGE Smart, which works by impacting the main biochemical reactions that manifest the signs of skin aging: the formation of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS - also known as free radicals), the generation of Matrix Metalloproteinases (MMPs) and the development of Advanced Glycation End-products (AGEs).
A sophisticated daily treatment with a patented polypeptide restores delicate tissue, minimizes contour lines and helps prevent the signs of aging caused by Advanced Glycation End-products (AGEs - a damaging byproduct of sugar/protein reactions in the skin). Vitamin E fights damaging free radicals (Reactive Oxygen Species) while a moisturizing blend of Avocado Oil, combined with Shea and Cocoa Seed butters, quickly smoothes rough, uneven lips.
BENEFITS Arginine/Lysine Polypeptide is a peptide that acts as a sugar trap, binding sugar in the body to help prevent the formation of AGEs: a sugar-protein complex that leads to stiff, cross-linked collagen. Palmitoyl Oligopeptide is a peptide molecule that conditions skin and stimulates collagen formation to minimize fine lines. Theobroma Cacao (Cocoa) Seed Butter, Persea Gratissima (Avocado) Oil, Oryza Sativa (Rice) Bran Oil, Triticum Vulgare (Wheat) Germ Oil and Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea Butter) are emollient and vitamin-rich plant lipids that smooth and condition lip tissue while helping to prevent dehydration. Hyaluronic Acid provides maximum skin hydration for delicate lip tissue.
