The Research

Throughout the day, the skin’s metabolic processes, combined with environmental damage from the sun and pollution, result in the debasement of cellular DNA, leading to genetic alterations with a wide array of manifestations including wrinkles, sagging and pigmentation.

To a certain extent, human skin has the capacity to self-repair through a synergy of DNA Repair Enzymes and retinoids (Vitamin A). However, as we age, and as a consequence of environmental damage, these natural restorative processes are diminished. DNA Repair Enzymes rebuild altered DNA, restoring cellular function, while retinoids play a vital role in reprogramming genetic replication processes, allowing skin to heal itself, and reducing visible signs of ageing.

The Renewal Actives

Vitamin A Complex (Retinol + Beta Carotene) increases skin cell regeneration and stimulates connective tissue synthesis to visibly plump and smooth fine lines and wrinkles. Cultivating a renewed appearance, this Skin Identical complex targets clusters of irregular melanin, visibly brightening pigmentation and evening out skin tone. The strengthening of capillary networks is nurtured, calming the appearance of redness and irritation.
DNA Repair Enzymes (Glycosylases, Endonucleases, Polymerases + Ligases) supplement the skin’s own DNA repair capacity, reversing the effects of UV exposure and targeting the signs of photo-ageing, resulting in a healthier, revitalised and more resilient complexion.
Australian Botanicals have the capacity to support skin calmness and visibly reduce signs of irritation on the skin.
Ceramides + Intercellular Lipids are found naturally in the skin, amplifying hydration and fortifying barrier function to boost skin’s natural integrity.
Essential Fatty Acids deliver skin-conditioning nourishment, increasing epidermal hydration and preventing Trans-Epidermal Water Loss (TEWL) to restore elasticity and vibrancy to skin.
Acetyl Hexapeptide-51 optimises DNA repair functions within the skin, and increases the appearance and feeling of skin firmness and elasticity.
