RHAMNOSE

Rhamnose is a sugar extracted from birch trees. It solicits a series of reactions at all skin levels, from the innermost dermis up through the dermo-epidermal junction to the outer layer of the epidermis, and works on a broader range of molecules than Vitamin C. Wrinkles are filled, while skin is firmed and lifted.

VITAMIN C

Vitamin C is one of the most powerful antioxidants in skincare. Essential to the proper functioning of the body, Vitamin C is present in the skin where, by trapping a certain category of free radicals, it fights against damage induced by oxidative stress. It is also an asset for fighting pigment disorders, redensifying the extracellular matrix and fighting inflammation so as to soothe the skin. This multitask active ingredient works quickly to attenuate fine lines, even out complexion and boost brightness.

HYALURONIC ACID

Naturally present in skin, hyaluronic acid guarantees skin plumpness and hydration. Its greatest contribution? Acting like a sponge to hold up to 1000 times its weight in water while ensuring perfect tolerance, even on sensitive skin. It attracts and holds water in the innermost layers of the skin, creating a plump, cushioned effect, filling in wrinkles on the skin’s surface. It forms an even film on skin surface, protecting it against external aggressors.

RETINOL

Retinol is a derivative of Vitamin A, which is also naturally found in skin. It boosts cell regeneration at the lowest level of the epidermis and prevents these new cells from quickly aging as they rise up to the skin’s surface. In other words, retinol dives deep to fill in pronounced wrinkles. Its downfall? Skin becomes more sensitive to the sun, so sun protection (SPF 15 minimum) is a must.

VITAMIN E

Vitamin E occurs naturally in human skin, but can become depleted due to constant environmental exposure in the absence of sun protection. Vitamin E is an enriched source of free radical fighting antioxidants.

VICHY MINERALIZING
THERMAL WATER

Vichy Mineralizing Thermal Water travels 4000 metres underground through the Volcanic region of Auvergne where it is enriched on its timeless patch with 15 minerals.

Captured at its source, it’s then integrated in Vichy products to rebalance, strengthen and regenerate for stronger, healthier-looking skin.

ASK AN EXPERT

With so many anti-aging products on the market, knowing which to incorporate into your routine can be confusing. Skin care expert and dermatologist Dr. Sonya Abdulla breaks down the science behind the most sought-after anti-aging ingredients.

What ingredients do you recommend most to your patients?

The solutions I recommend for preventing and reducing the signs of aging include retinol, a powerful antioxidant like vitamin C, daily sun protection, ideally with an SPF 30 or higher ... and hyaluronic acid. These are the gold standard for dermatological skin care ingredients. I’ve found that products containing these ingredients tend to be most effective over the years to prevent and reduce the signs of aging.

How do the products containing these key ingredients target signs of aging?

Products with antioxidants such as vitamin C brighten and even out skin tone to reveal a more youthful appearance. To help reduce the appearance of fi ne lines and wrinkles, I often recommend products with retinol. With time, the skin requires more intense hydration–look for products containing hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid can absorb up to 1,000 times its own weight in water and leaves the skin feeling immediately restored.

Always be sure to use a product with SPF in the morning if you use retinol or vitamin C. These ingredients can make your skin more sensitive to the harmful effects of the sun’s UV rays.

What happens to skin as we age?

At 40, life is filled with work, family, cultural activities, physical workouts, and outings with friends. As it ages, the skin takes more time to recover from the damage it is subjected to each day. As a result, over time skin loses its tone and radiance. Skin also loses firmness and deep wrinkles appear.

What is the difference between pure Vitamin C and stabilized forms of Vitamin C?

The stabilized forms of Vitamin C are intented to release Vitamin C upon contact with skin, helped by the action of stratum corneum enzymes or acid pH. They are used to avoid instability that could be led by oxidation and heat. Unfortunately, stabilized forms can’t be formulated at high concentration. Pure Vitamin C is just as effective and can be included to a formula at a higher concentration. With Liftactiv Vitamin C Brightening Skin Corrector, our laboratories have succeeded in combining high concentration of Vitamin C and stability over time.

How does Vitamin C improve the look of the skin?

Vitamin C is one of the most powerful antioxidants in skincare. Antioxidants neutralize free radical damage induced by daily exposure to UV rays, pollution, stress, lack of sleep or poor diet. Vitamin C improves skin radiance, luminosity and pigmentation. It is also a cofactor in collagen production and has a place in anti-aging skincare.

In order to maximize the benefits of Vitamin C, it must be applied directly on to the skin. Ingesting Vitamin C does not yield the same benefits to the skin since the intestine can only allow a certain amount of vitamin C into the body. Application of Vitamin C to the skin requires the control of certain elements, such as the formulation, in order to reap the benefits. Vitamin C is an inherently unstable molecule. It needs to be specially formulated so that it can remain stable in the bottle and release its benefits when applied onto the skin. Look specifically for Vitamin C formulations containing L-ascorbic acid in concentrations of 10% or higher, and make sure to choose a product with an acid pH, to ensure stability over time.

Exposome: what are the damages caused by environmental assaults?

Daily environmental exposures and certain habits induce stress on the skin. Smoking, pollution, alcohol, lack of sleep and poor diet create stress that can cause inflammation and stimulate aging. Looking for products that will help support the function of your skin barrier is a great way to avoid damage caused by these daily assaults.
