Skin Repair

Boosts cellular renewal and synthesis of the skin’s building blocks to speed up cutaneous healing.

The skin has a natural capacity to regenerate itself following wounds, cuts, scratches and spots. A scab forms over the lesion, a protective shield that allows the skin to activate its full healing processes. Repairing the skin involves fixing damage to the membrane structure and fibres, and replacing the entire top layer of cells. Once this repair process has been completed, the scab falls off, revealing normal, unscarred skin. A slight intensification in skin colour is frequently noted after a spot has healed. This is known as post-inflammatory pigmentation, and it can take a while before the skin reassumes its normal colour. To prevent inadequate repair and to optimise and speed up cutaneous healing, the skin should first be strengthened, by improving its cellular cohesion and the structure of its extracellular matrix. Subsequently, differentiation of keratinocytes and fibroblast repair should be stimulated in the body to speed up skin regeneration. Finally, to prevent infections, its anti-inflammatory and antibacterial activity should be boosted.

[Reᵃ]+ST. PAUL'S WORT AND TIGER GRASS EXTRACT

ORIGINS

Combination of plant extracts from Madagascar: darutoside, a molecule extracted from siegesbeckia orientalis and centella asiatica extract rich in asiaticoside. Both plants are known for their anti-inflammatory and restructuring properties of the extra-cellular matrix.

EFFICIENCY

In-Vivo for 28 days:
> 13% reduction in redness.
> 10.5% and up to 33% reduction in roughness in 77% of participants.
> Lifting effect of 14.9% and up to 48% in 85% of participants.

[Reᵇ]+CENTELLA ASIATICA EXTRACT

ORIGINS

Centella asiatica from Madagascar, also known as Tiger grass, is a plant that grows exclusively in the wild. It has been used since 1850 to treat leprosy lesions, dermatitis, oedemas, wounds and inflammations of the skin.

EFFICIENCY

In-Vitro:
> 60% inhibition of inflammation mediators, such as Interleukin-1α
> 68% reduction in intracellular oxidation state
> 19% reduction in DNA fragmentation after stress
> Inhibition of enzymes responsible for degradation of the extracellular matrix (up to -63%)
> Activation of fibroblast migration towards the areas to be repaired up to +61%
> Stimulation of 34% of the microcirculation to remodel the skin
> Skin reconstruction takes 12 days instead of 21 days
