Collagen Elestan Lifting Serum

NEW Collagen-Elestan Lifting Serum is here! I think you’ll find it was worth the wait! GOOD FOR ALL SKIN TYPES!

ELASTAN (INCI Name: ELESTAN™ PW LS 9879:)

Manilkara Leaf Extract (and) Maltodextrin Elestan is a new plant-based active from the extract of the leaves Manilkara, an African tree.  It helps the skin stay young in four ways, keeping it firmer and more elastic – and as a result, stronger and more youthful.

With aging, the process of elastin degradation, which is regulated by naturally occurring enzymes called elastases, is disturbed. This leads to excessive degradation of the elastic fiber network, one of the major causes of skin aging and loss of elasticity. Elestan combats the effect of elastases, thereby protecting elastin and preserving the skin’s youthfulness. Where the elastic fiber network is already damaged, Elestan can contribute to its recovery by boosting the production of elastin. Similarly, Elestan also stimulates the synthesis of proteins associated with elastin, such as Emilin-1 and Fibulin-5, which play a crucial role in elastin formation and facilitate the correct organization of newly synthesized elastic fibers.

Another factor in the loss of skin elasticity is glycation, or the formation of covalent bonds between glucose molecules and proteins of the extra-cellular matrix that causes the structural proteins of the skin to become more rigid. Here too Elestan can help, by inhibiting the rigidification of skin fibers.

Proven Efficacy: The efficacy of Elestan has been verified in various clinical tests. One of these was based on the innovative Dynaskin method. This involves deforming the skin with a stream of pressurized air, and measuring the deformation behavior with a 3D fringe projection technique. Skin firmness and tonicity were significantly improved after application of Elestan, compared to a placebo formulation: the volume of the depression was reduced by 10%, and its maximum depth by 5%.

ELESTAN: SCIENTIFIC EXPERTISE – THE 4-IN1 SOLUTION EXPLAINED

1. Anti-elastase properties (fights against the degradation of the elastic fiber network, thus preserving the skin’s youth, in case the elastic fiber network is already damaged, ELESTAN™ contributes to its recovery by stimulating the production of elastin).
2. Anti-glycation effect (is a well known phenomenon of skin aging, corresponding to the formation of covalent bonds between glucose molecules and proteins of the extra cellular matrix. These bonds induce a rigidification of the structural proteins of the skin).
3. Stimulation of production of Elastin, Emilin-1 and Fibulin-5 ((Emilin and fibulin are associated proteins which help elastin do its job more efficiently and effectively).
4. Perceivable increase in skin firmness and elasticity.

INSTRUCTIONS

Use once or twice daily. Serums go on first before moisturizers, lotions and oils. Apply over your Lemon Peel Bioferment.

INGREDIENTS

Not a ton of ingredients – just the right ones in the perfect ratios for RESULTS! 
MSM, Aloe Vera Gel, Hydrolyzed Collagen, Elestan, Water, Green Tea Extract, Natural Alpha-Bisabolol, German Chamomile Essential Oil, Citric Acid, Xanthan Gum.

Impressive actives: Made with hydrolyzed collagen (which is able to penetrate the skin), Elestan ("Elestan" is not Elastin misspelled, there’s quite a big difference between Elestan and Elastin). I have it in the powdered form which is 8 times stronger than the liquid form and Natural Alpha-Bisabolol, a proven active for increased skin penetration.

Other ingredients in Collagen Elestan Lifting Serum

MSM


MSM can be used to help give our skin a brighter, healthier glow and can be used to clear up acne-prone skin.
 It softens your skin, giving it elasticity, which can help flush out the toxins within your skin cell walls. MSM gives your skin cells the permeability needed to absorb good nutrients and expel toxic waste from them. 
Supplies nutritional sulfur for protein synthesis of the skin.
 Natural sulfonyl sulfur compound, once called "Factor N" (for returning cells to Normal), forms the flexible bond between protein amino acid chains. It builds and maintains supple, permeable collagen cell walls in flesh tissues. MSM relieves skin problems, leathery cracked skin, wrinkles, and skin itching. Also reduces scar tissue, moles, brown spots, black spots, skin tumors, cuts, and burns.


Wrinkles: When the body replaces old skin cells and there is a deficiency of MSM, the new cells are stiff and contribute to wrinkling. MSM supplementation helps the body replace bad cells with good, healthy, elastic ones. In time, wrinkles go away. Brown and black spots and skin tumors can be arrested and reversed as new cells replace the "insuffucient" cells.



Damaged Skin: It is the MSM in Aloe Vera leaves that sooths and repairs skin that has been cut, scraped, burned or damaged. The body then repairs the skin with the proper raw materials. MSM can be added to water, aloe vera gel, and other preparations for application to the skin. Best results are obtained when MSM is applied topically and taken internally.


ALOE VERA

Aloe has the unique ability to stimulate cell renewal. Fibroblast cells are found in the dermis of the skin and are responsible for fabricating collagen, the skin's support protein. During sun exposure and through normal aging processes, fibroblasts slow their collagen production. As aging continues, the quality of collagen is lessened and wrinkling becomes deeper. Aloe Vera improves fibroblast cell integrity, the gel also quickened the making of collagen. Aloe Vera was found to increase production of human fibroblast cells six to eight times faster than normal cell reproduction.

Benefits of Aloe Vera to the Skin

Calms and heals skin — Makes the skin smooth and glowing — Destroys bacteria that try to invade cuts or open wounds — Ss an excellent skin moisturizer that keeps the skin flexible by giving oxygen to the cells which in turn increases the strength and synthesis of skin tissue — Improves the ability of the skin so that it can hydrate itself — Is helpful in removing dead skin cells and has the ability for effective penetration and transports healthy substances through the skin — Is useful for preventing the aging of the skin — Nourishes the skin and tissues with such as vitamin E and C — Lightens dark spots on the face and reduces the intensity of pigmentation — Soothes skin and helps restore skin's natural beauty

Natural Alpha-Bisabolol:


Increases the penetration of collagen and elestan — The direct distillation of the oil from the tropical shrub candeia (German chamomile), which is well known for its medicinal properties — The essential oil of chamomile contains up to 50% 1-alpha-bisabolol — Alpha-Bisabolol is nontoxic and nonirritating to the skin, has been shown to possess anti-inflammatory and wound healing propertie — Has antimycotic and antibacterial effects — Specifically, it is a potent inhibitor of fungi, Candida albicans and gram-positive bacteria — Protects the skin
