OUR SKIN AND HOW IT WORKS
Our skin is on display everyday of our lives. It communicates so much about us including indications of our age and well being. Skin is also our primary barrier against external challenges, so not only is good skin health vital to appearance it is also very important to overall health.
Young healthy and vibrant skin has elasticity and firmness, it is smooth, luminous and vibrant; it is beautiful. This is because the outer layer of the skin the epidermis has skin lipids and natural moisturising factors (NMFs) that attract and retain water keeping the cells plump. In the lower levels of the epidermis skin pigmentation cells are present and new skin cells are being produced, while at the surface old cells flake off. This is the body’s way of naturally keeping the skin even in tone, texture and luminosity.
Below the epidermis, in the dermis is the key architecture of the skin known as the extra cellular matrix (ECM). This is made up of a network of collagen and elastin fibres that provide elasticity, firmness and smoothness. It also contains key skin cells known as fibroblasts which produce and replace the collagen and elastin. The fibroblasts also produce NMFs such as hyaluronic acid (HA), which further help provide the skin’s hydration, plumpness and smoothness. Running through the ECM blood capillaries provide oxygen, nutrients and moisture, helping feed the skin and make it vibrant. The dermis also contains natural protecting anti-oxidants, in the form of skin vitamins and enzymes, which defend against the free radicals or reactive oxygen species (ROSs) that constantly challenge the skin and can cause it so much damage.
WHAT IS SKIN AGEING AND SUN DAMAGE?
Up to a person’s early to mid 20’s, the skin’s production, repair and protective mechanism work dynamically, but as we age beyond this it starts to work less well and gets progressively worse as the years progress. This is accelerated by exposure to UV in the form of daylight and sun exposure, other external factors such as smoking can further add to the problem.
During skin ageing and sun damage the production and replacement of collagen, elastin and HA slows down as there are fewer fibroblasts and they operate less efficiently. This reduces the elasticity, firmness and smoothness of the skin, eventually resulting in fine lines and wrinkles. The blood supply becomes less efficient and as a result the skin becomes less vibrant. Also the skin’s natural anti-oxidant protectants become less prevalent and less effective, meaning ROSs or free radicals can cause more damage to vital skin tissue and cells. In the epidermal layer a decline in skin lipids and NMFs means the skin has less moisture and is less plump. The skin cell renewal process reduces, impairing texture and tone and luminosity. UV exposure can also trigger increased pigmentation production showing as brown spots and a mottled complexion.
As we progress to and beyond the age of 40, or when the visible signs of ageing and sun damage start to show, a regenerating anti-ageing regime should be employed to help reduce the visible signs of skin ageing. Ideally such a regime should produce and repair collagen, elastin and HA, help clear pigmentation and improve the structure and appearance of the epidermis outer layer. The Retriderm® Vitamin A Serums range can provide all of these benefits; read on and ask your aesthetic professional for more information.
DISCOVERING THE SECRETS of VITAMIN A
The science of Retriderm® harnesses the power of Vitamin A.
Vitamin A is known to be essential to healthy skin, it promotes the production and differentiation of skin cells and has been clinically proven to regenerate ageing and sun damaged skin.
Retriderm® Vitamin A Serums contain Retinol, a bio-available form of Vitamin A that is naturally consumed in our diet and available within our body, in a unique patent pending protein-rich serum that optimises its stability and bio-availability in our skin.
To help the Retinol do its job the Retriderm® protein-rich serum formulation also contains, collagen and elastin two essential skin proteins, hyaluronic acid another essential skin constituent and Vitamin E to add anti-oxidant protection. But fundamentally Retriderm® is all about getting the skin-essential Retinol “to go to work”, regenerating your skin from the surface and within.
Retriderm delivers a cosmeceutical strength retinol with enhanced absorption for increased effectiveness. The Results =Maximum Skin Benefits!
The exclusive formula makes this product unique among Retinol products, allowing for maximum absorption into your skin with minimal irritation.
Retriderm’s proprietary formulation is a protein-rich, oil-free, aqueous suspension which makes this the ideal skin rejuvenation serum. Retriderm leaves
your skin looking youthful, glowing, and rejuvenated.
Internationally renowned Dermatologists’ have tried and tested Retriderm® so you can be confident you are using a specialist product that is clinically proven to fight the visible signs of ageing and sun damage and produce significant improvements in the appearance of your skin.
Retriderm® is proven in clinical studies and assessments to provide clinically significant skin improvement after only 4 weeks daily use. Ongoing daily use provides further significant improvement and its long-term use is highly recommended.
