Abstract

A comprehensive treatment approach including the use of clinically proven topical skin care formulations that provide optimal ant-iaging effects. A high-strength skin care regimen* was developed to deliver a combination of more than 35% active benefit ingredients, include the glycolic acid, gluconolactone, maltobionic acid, NeoGlucosamine®, retinol, peptides, antioxidants and apple stem cell extract. Significant improvement in all parameters of aging was at week 30, and dermal density continued to increase with continuous usage.

*Regimen – the 4 products used in this study are Skin Active Exfoliating Wash, Matrix Support SPF 20, Cellular Restoration and Intensive Eye Therapy

Results

Revive your skin as early as 2 weeks:

  • In this study, the 4 products used delivered comprehensive antiaging benefits to photodamaged skin as early as week 2

  • Multiple ingredients in this regimen showed positive influence in the reduction of melanin production, reducing hyperpigmentation on the skin. 

  • Clinical photography showed improvement in the visual signs of aging. Fine lines and wrinkles were significantly reduced.

  • Silicone replicas of the crow’s feet area demonstrated improvement in skin texture and reduction in fine lines and wrinkles.

  • At the end of 16 weeks, almost all the users in the active group reported antiaging benefits

  • 95% noted that their skin was more firm and radiant
  • 91% indicated that they looked younger and that wrinkles were less noticeable
  • 98% reported that their skin texture was smoother
  • 79% noted that brown spots were less apparent.
  • After 16 weeks of usage, visual signs of aging and pinch recoil test showed significant improvement. This shows that areas such as wrinkles, fine lines and laxity have improved expressively.
