Description
Anti-glycation anti-wrinkle cream from SkinCeuticals. The brand’s highest concentration of Proxylane: 18%, aimed at established wrinkles and loss of firmness.
What it does
This product targets one specific pathway of ageing: glycation. Sugars bind to collagen and elastin fibres and form cross-links that make them rigid; the skin loses elasticity and radiance even without sun damage. It is the pathway that explains ageing linked to diet, metabolism and age.
18% Proxylane is the highest concentration in the range. It comes with 4.25% blueberry and pomegranate flavonoids, which reduce the oxidative stress associated with the formation of A.G.E.
3% Hepes activates the skin’s own renewal enzymes, and 1% niacinamide soothes and strengthens barrier function.
The brand reports, at 12 weeks and across five facial areas, reductions of 14% in fine lines, 11.5% in forehead wrinkles, 11% in nasolabial folds and 7% in crow’s feet and frown lines.
Who it is for
Mature skin with established wrinkles and loss of firmness and radiance. It is a treatment product, not a moisturiser: it is used on the face, neck and décolletage.
