Introducing Dermalogica!

14693.jpg

The NEWest addition to the Dermalogica AGE Smart line! Dermalogica MultiVitamin Thermafoliant is a powerful skin polisher which combines physical and chemical exfoliants to refine skin texture and enhance penetration of age-fighting vitamins into skin. Resurfacing microgranules gently polish off dulling skin cells to reveal smoother, fresher skin immediately. Dermalogica’s unique thermal technology plus Lactic Acid activates upon contact with water to stimulate cell turnover, while Prickly Pear Extract accelerates skin’s natural exfoliation process. White Tea suppresses the formation of collagen-degrading MMPs while Licorice and vitamins A, C and E brighten skin tone, provide antioxidant defense against damaging free radicals (Reactive Oxygen Species) and help promote skin firmness.

How it works:

  • Thermal technology activates upon contact with water to facilitate absorption of nutrients and active ingredients into skin.
  • Gently polishes off dulling skin cells to reveal smoother, fresher skin immediately.
  • Contains potent antioxidants that fight ROS, reduce inflammation in skin, inhibit collagen-degrading enzymes (MMPs) and stimulate new collagen synthesis while inhibiting the formation of AGEs.

Achieve absolute hydration and help defend against the internal and external causes of skin aging with this medium-weight, emollient daily moisturizer with SPF30. A patented polypeptide combined with Glucosamine and Soy stimulates collagen synthesis, enhances the skin’s natural ability to fight skin-aging free radicals (Reactive Oxygen Species) and helps prevent the signs of aging caused by sugar reacting with proteins in skin (AGEs). White Tea polyphenols regulate the formation of collagen-degrading MMPs brought on by UV rays while tripeptides, stabilized Vitamin C, Yeast Extract and Phytoestrogens help catalyze the skin’s natural collagen production to enhance skin firmness. Advanced sunscreen technology provides critical protection from daylight exposure, yet blends smoothly into skin to create a perfected finish. Contains no artificial fragrance or color.

How it works:

  • Arginine/Lysine Polypeptide acts as a sugar trap, binding sugars in the body to prevent the formation of Advanced Glycation End-products (AGEs) that lead to stiff, cross-linked collagen.
  • Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5 is a skin-firming peptide that overrides the inhibitory effects of MMPs on collagen synthesis. Activates tissue growth factor (TGF), a peptide that is required in its active state for collagen production to occur.
  • Glucosamine fights AGEs while stimulating formation of Hyaluronic Acid and collagen in skin. Inhibits melanin formation to help control age-related hyperpigmentation. Provides long-lasting hydration and reinforces skin’s natural moisture barrier.
  • Provides critical protection from daylight exposure, yet blends smoothly into skin to create a perfected finish.

time_perfection_detail.jpg

We all want to look as young as we feel.  We desire the beautiful, healthy skin of our youth, and we try every new cream on the market to get it!  But creams can only treat the surface layers of the skin.  That’s why more and more women are discovering the benefits of Imedeen, which employs and entirely different philosophy; Go deep within.  By working inside the body, the skincare supplements nourish the building blocks in the deeper layers of the skin, resulting in a range of skin benefits noticed not only on your face, but also all over your body.

In a pioneering approach to skincare, the makers of Imedeen worked with skin experts worldwide – recognized scientists, dermatologists and estheticians – in developing skincare tablets that are blocked by state-of-the-art skin science.

Two Highly Effective Anti-Aging Weapons

Imedeen Time Perfection and Imedeen Prime Renewal

Signs of age, such as dryness, lines and wrinkles, are merely symptoms of what is happening deep within the skin.  Why not address those signs of aging where they begin?  With this in mind, Imedeen has created two anti-aging skin supplements for daily use.  These formulations safely enhance the quality of the skin from inside the body.  Imedeen tablets, combined with your own skincare creams, create a complex daily skincare regimen.

Unique Formulations

Imedeen Time Perfection and Imedeen Prime Renewal both contain the excluseive Biomarine Complex, which during a 12-month study was shown to increase the density of the dermis (the skin’s foundation), improving elasticity and structure and increasing the skins hydration.

Imedeen Time Perfection is your anti-aging skin defense. Improve mature and sun-damaged skin from within. Start on the path to younger looking skin today. Imedeen Time Perfection is an advanced formula that contains Biomarine Complex™, exclusive to Imedeen, and LycoPhence GS™, a patented skin-defense system. Imedeen Time Perfection cares for mature and sun-damaged skin from inside the body. It helps promote healthy, supple and radiant skin and reduces the visable signs of aging. It is tested safe and proven by science in clinical studies.

The recommended daily dose is two tablets. Take with a glass of water. Allow time for Imedeen tablets to work. Results can be noticed after 90 days.

Maybe if it came in the same tube on the opposite end of my regular mascara but I worry it would dry out before I could use it.
