SkinCeuticals A.G.E. Interrupter 48ml

Intrinsic aging, caused by internal factors such as hormonal shifts and metabolic slowdown, contributes greatly to skin sagging, creping, thinning, and cracking. A.G.E. Interrupter is a unique treatment formulated with 4% blueberry extract, 30% Proxylane™, and 0.2% phytosphingosine to help prevent the glycation process and correct severe signs of intrinsic (genetic) aging in mature skin. Blueberry extract is both an antioxidant and anti-glycation ingredient that inhibits advanced glycation end-products (A.G.E.) while preventing further oxidation from occurring. Proxylane™ rebuilds the support structure that degrades as a direct result of intrinsic aging and efficiently improves anchorage of the skin’s upper layers onto the dermis to increase elasticity and thickness. Phytosphingosine protects the skin’s barrier, while rich emollients hydrate dry, cracking skin. This multi-faceted and uniquely-textured formulation is optimised to prevent and correct the most visible signs of aging, while minimising the associated discomfort and dryness.
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
4% Blueberry Extract
• Slows down the process of A.G.E. formation, preventing the rigidification of collagen and elastin fibers
• Normalises MMP-1 to help protect non-glycated collagen types IV and VII from erosion
• Exhibits a pro-matrix effect – stimulating synthesis of procollagen I and III 30% concentration of Proxylane™— the concentration proven to be effective in published studies
• Stimulates glycosaminoglycan (GAG) synthesis, to remodel tissue structure in the dermal epidermal junction (D.E.J.) and increase elasticity and thickness — as if the skin’s mattress has been re-inflated from the inside
• Increases collagen IV and VII gene expression
• Improves dermal-epidermal anchorage
• Increases CD44, a hyaluronic acid receptor, to increase bound moisture in the epidermis
0.2% Phytosphingosine
• Reinforces the skin’s barrier by increasing the synthesis of enzymatic and cellular components
• Synthesises lipids necessary for barrier function (ceramides, cholesterol)
• Increases the level of filaggrin, the precursor of the natural moisturising factor (NMF) to enhance the natural moisture barrier
Rich, moisturising base
• Hydrates dry, cracking skin
• Helps alleviate the discomfort associated with dry, aging skin
