A SPECIFIC SKIN CARE PRODUCT FOR MATURE WOMEN? With age, the skin loses its cohesion and structure, it becomes disorganised and thinner, which leads to the development of irregularities, with more or less deep wrinkles. To correct this process, there are medical resurfacing solutions such as laser, dermabrasion, chemical peeling and using cosmetic exfoliants such as Retinol. These solutions are effective but aggressive and destabilise the epidermal architecture and its cohesion. Other routes for biological action, such as mechanisms stimulating cell proliferation, may lead to a similar result. They take part in the renewal of the skin s resources. To meet the growing demand from modern women, our Research Departments, with their expertise in skin engineering, have developed a solution which is both innovative, natural and respectful of the skin, by studying the particular factors which promote epidermal cohesion. DHE.AGE and PHYTO HORMONES Conscious of the Scientific promise of DHEA, our Research departments worked to restore its positive effects on skin cells. For this, they worked to identify the natural sources for cosmetic use, which have the greatest influence on skin youth mechanisms. Several studies showed that wild Yam could produce a naturally similar action. Indeed, this plant contains a particular substance, Diosgenin, which acts like a skin boost, producing what we call in cosmetics phytohormones. LOX.AGE and RETINOL Vitamin A acid or Retinoic Acid and its derivative Retinol, are used by dermatologists in skin treatments such as: dryness, loss of elasticity, skin thinning and wrinkles. Research laboratories propose a complex with clinical efficacy similar to that of Retinol, but without its disadvantages. This efficacy is based on the action of a key protein, LOX (Lysyl Oxidase), essential for keratinocyte differentiation. This Treatment is designed for women who want to provide their skin with an avantgarde treatment capable of restoring its youthful mechanisms. Through intense skin regeneration action, it reproduces the main anti-age effects of DHEA and RETINOL on the skin. Studies performed show exceptional acceleration in the rate of cell renewal. Thus, after 8 weeks of application, there is a clear improvement in the quality of the skin s tissues and a reduction in the quantity and depth of wrinkles. The skin then shows new signs of vitality and youth. Smoother, more flexible, firmer, it shows its strength, its dynamic properties. Formulated to guarantee perfect tolerance, these skin care products are suitable for all mature skin types. 2
WHAT IS DHEA? 3000 2000 [DHEA] plasma (µg/l) It is mainly the adrenal glands which produce DHEA (DeHydroEpiAndrosterone). It is then distributed throughout the body in the bloodstream, transported by proteins, like all the other steroid hormones: oestrogens, testosterone. 1000 20 30 40 ans Years Often qualified as the youth hormone, because it is found more rarely after the age of 40, it represents a real promise of progress for scientific research. DHEA: CONCENTRATION IN BLOOD ACCORDING TO AGE DHEA and skin ageing In the skin, DHEA plays a fundamental role: it controls and guarantees the action of regulator messengers so that they carry out their cell stimulation functions to the full. The more DHEA levels fall, the more disorganised the regulator messenger network becomes and they can no longer guarantee optimal cell function. Hormones: androgens, oestrogens and progesterone have many functions involving the different skin constituents, notably on collagen and elastin fibres. BRAIN Increase in cognition (intellectual capacities) Well-being, sleep, mood evenness MUSCLES Increase in muscle mass. CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM Prevention of atherosclerosis (fat deposit on the wall of arteries) IMMUNE SYSTEM Increase of immune defences Suprarenals BONES Increase in bone density Reduction of joint pains SKIN Suppleness and thickness The effects of DHEA into the skin With DHEA treatment, the skin: - Becomes more flexible, because the level of epidermal lipids increases. - Gains in strength: the keratinocytes, which determine epidermal solidity are strengthened by the added DHEA because they contain more keratinosomes and keratohyaline, a keratin precursor. - Resists skin infections better, secretes more Langerhans cells, while stimulating their activity. Indeed, a fall in DHEA level in the skin may promote the development of various dermatological pathologies. At skin level, DHEA: - Inhibits the production of collagenases. The collagen fibres are therefore protected, thus increasing the dermal support network. - Makes the skin less sensitive to contact allergic reactions. It slows the release of histamine by the immune cells. - Regulates the melanin production mechanism. SUPPLENESS RESISTANCE DHEA MOLECULE STRENGTH 3
VITAMIN A and RETINOL Vitamin A or retinoic acid Vitamin A or retinoic acid was first used to treat acne until it was noted that it also had effects on the texture of the skin, its aspect, thickness and elasticity. RETINOL Retinol is in fact vitamin A: indeed, it is the natural precursor of retinoic acid. It must be converted to retinoic acid in the body. It acts on both the dermis and the epidermis. AT EPIDERMAL LEVEL: - Retinoic acid is essential to epidermal keratinocyte differentiation; it binds to specific nuclear receptors (RAR, Retinoic Acid Receptor) and induces the expression of genes involved in epidermal differentiation. A vitamin A deficit is reflected by alterations in epidermal keratinisation. At dermal level: - Vitamin A interferes directly with fibroblast metabolism. Retinol reduces dermal atrophy by inhibiting collagenase synthesis, stimulating glycosaminoglycan synthesis and increasing the skin s elasticity. It is also an excellent antifree radical agent. Therefore, retinoic acid limits the installation of the four signs of skin ageing: dryness, loss of elasticity, skin thinning and wrinkles. It acts at skin level by: - Stimulating fibroblasts - Stimulating collagen synthesis - Stimulating angiogenesis: producing small vessels responsible for the healthy complexion effect - Regulation of melanine synthesis: limiting hyperpigmentation marks - Anti-inflammatory action. But although retinoic acid is well tolerated on thick, oily skin, it is less so on finer, drier mature skin. To attenuate the irritation problem, the research laboratories now propose a complex with similar clinical efficacy to that of Retinol, without its disadvantages. This efficacy is based on the action of a key protein, LOX (Lysyl Oxidase), which is essential for keratinocyte differentiation and triggering collagen function, thereby improving skin density to a similar level to that of young skin. Many tests have been performed, showing similar or greater efficacy than Retinol. 4
LOX-AGE, SKIN ARCHITECTURE IMPROVEMENT LOX AGE is a phyto-complex extracted from Cichorium Intybus (wild chicory) leaves, which stimulate LOX protein, thus promoting an improvement in epidermal stratification and cohesion through the synthesis of specific differentiation markers, with no action on cell proliferation, i.e. without impoverishing the skin s natural resources. LOX AGE also contributes to the functionalisation of collagen 1, thus improving the skin s density. CHROMOSOME 5 LOX PROTEIN AND LOX GENE - At skin level, Lysyl Oxidase (LOX) is an enzyme produced following stimulation of the LOX gene found on DNA in fibroblast and keratinocyte cell nuclei. - Acts at epidermal level, more specifically during keratinocyte differentiation to ensure good cell cohesion and thus the maintenance of epidermal homeostasis. - It is also involved in the production of collagen and elastin fibres, therefore ensuring dermal integrity. LOX PROTEIN AT EPIDERMAL LEVEL Pro-peptide LOX-PP proteolytic cleavage by bmp-1 Pro-enzima LOX The first element in body protection, the epidermis, mainly composed of keratinocytes, is permanently renewed and withstands many environmental sources of aggressions (heat variations, solar radiation, pathogenic microorganisms, etc.). The epidermis is continually regenerated and this constant turnover is generated into the basal layer by epidermal stem cells which have a high proliferative potential, high self-renewal rate and the ability to generate daughter cells. The latter then trigger a terminal differentiation process, known as keratinisation. lox protein at dermal level LOX protein is recognised for its role in collagen reticulation and for maintaining elastic fibre homeostasis. Reticulation involves the creation of chemical bonds between collagen fibres. This facilitates their assembly and leads to the production of fibre network which provide tissue support and tone. This mesh is also used to support glycosaminoglycans, essential for maintaining skin hydration. epidermis wrinkles dermis collagen Synthesis and activity of the LOX enzyme falls during skin ageing. This causes: - A slowing in keratinocyte differentiation and reduced production of the various differentiation markers. These dysfunctions are reflected in a loss of cohesion in the whole epidermis (from the dermoepidermal junction to the superficial layers of the stratum corneum or horny layer) as well as a weakening of the stratum corneum s barrier function. - A slowing in the production of collagen and elastin fibres, leading to a loss of elasticity and skin tone. Our research laboratories have developed an active ingredient of natural origin, capable of stimulating LOX protein synthesis similar to an young skin s synthesis level 5
