This powerful treatment is designed to correct early environmental skin damage. Skinceuticals Skin Firming Cream contains ingredients that target environmental aggressors, repairing photodamage while firming the skin. This first line of defense supports collagen synthesis and accelerates the skin's ability to repair damage resulting from UV light, pollutants and harmful chemicals.
Centella Asiatica
• supports collagen synthesis and helps firm and heal skin
Ectoin
• protects against environmental aggressors and accelerates the skin’s ability to repair itself
BMX Complex
• helps optimize the skin’s barrier system
• environmentally damaged skin
• dry, dull or delicate skin
• photodamaged skin
• poor elasticity
• protocols: Firming Facial, Refining Pre-peel, Rejuvenating Facial
APPLICATION
Once daily, using fingertips, apply a pearl-sized amount of Skin Firming Cream to face, neck, and chest.
CENTELLA ASIATICA
• clinically tried, pharmaceutical-grade titrated extract
• consists of asiatic acid, madecassic acid and asiaticoside to guarantee full benefits
• wound healing properties used for treating skin diseases and injuries such as cutaneous ulcers, wounds, eczema and burns
• accelerates post procedure healing
• stops the inflammatory phase of hypertrophic scars and keloids and many other indications.
• stimulates the biosynthesis of collagen, an essential and predominant tissue component
ECTOIN
• natural, yet revolutionary ingredient researched and developed in the biotech arena
• protects against stress factors such as UV rays, heat, cold, and harmful chemicals
• enhances hydration
• boosts the cells’ own repair mechanisms
• has the ability to stabilize the structures of proteins, nucleic acids, and biomembranes
• test results prove the following about Ectoin:
• helps inhibit the formation of sunburn cells (Sunburn cells are keratinocytes that have been subjected to a lethal dose of UV radiation produced in appreciable numbers by sub-erythemal UV exposure)
• induces faster formation of heat-shock proteins (Heat shock proteins are synthesized by the cells to protect proteins and nucleic acids from damage from various stress factors.) • protects the skin’s immune system by preventing damage to Langerhans cells (Langerhans cells are epidermal dendritic cells responsible for the initiation and propagation of immune responses directed towards antigens encountered in skin)
• helps protect cell membranes against various surfactants and chemicals
OTHER INGREDIENTS
BMX COMPLEX™
• comprises Barley and Tomato Extracts
• limits transepidermal water loss by maintaining an intact skin surface barrier
• increases amount of lipids in intercellular spaces, which is critical for the skin renewal process
• phytosterols: Plant fats present in all fruits and vegetables.
They are biologically active molecules that can enhance moisture penetration and support the skin renewal process. As well, they exert an anti-inflammatory effect.
• ceramides: In human skin, ceramides are the major lipid constituents of the str-tum corneum and, together with other lipids they play a crucial role in the skin barrier function
SEPILIFT DPHP (TRADE NAME)
• stimulates remodeling and contraction of collagen fibers
• protects elastic fibers against enzymatic breakdown
• scavenges free radicals
BOIS II (TRADE NAME)
• consists of sandalwood, phellodendron amurense bark, and barley extracts
• contains long chain hydro-carbons phospholipids, glycolipids, and triglycerides, all essential constituents
of the lipid barrier of the skin and not found in ordinary hydrocarbon type materials
• increases skin hydration and improves skin suppleness
