HYALURONIC ACID: a molecule naturally present in our body and is produced by fibroblast, cells that have the aim of moisturizing the tissue, giving them firmness and plasticity. Hyaluronic acid absorbs water, retains, and releases it according to the needs of the body and, therefore, maintains the right hydration and tissue moisture. GLYCEROL: substance naturally present in the triglycerides and phospholipids of our body. Its structure allows it to absorb and bind a large amount of water, improving the environment and extracellular exchanges. PEPTYDES and VERY LOW MOLECULAR WEIGHT POLYNUCLEOTIDES: The combined action of three biomimetic peptides with low molecular weight polynucleotides stimulates the cells to produce more extracellular matrix and increase replication speed. GENISTEIN: a phytoestrogen belonging to isoflavones category of which it represents the most active and effective molecule for management of skin changes in postmenopausal women. ARBUTIN: a natural substance obtained by extraction from the Ursine grape, similar to hydroquinone, but without the same toxicity. Its activity is performed by inhibiting the melanin synthesis process and acting on the enzyme (tyrosine) that catalyses this reaction. GLUTATHIONE: an antioxidant found in plants, animals, fungi, and in some bacteria. It can prevent damage of important cellular components caused by reactive oxygen species such as free radicals, peroxides, lipid peroxides, and heavy metals. It might affect skin pigmentation by inhibiting tyrosinase activity during melanogenesis, either directly or indirectly.
