1% Encapsulated Retinol

We have chosen to use Encapsulated Retinol because of its many technical advantages:

In the dermis, this encapsulated Retinol stimulates Hyaluronic Acid synthesis and strengthens fibroblasts to promote collagen and elastin production, improving skin elasticity.

In addition, Retinol improves epidermal proliferation and differentiation, effectively reducing stretch marks.

2% Glycolic acid

We have chosen to use a glycolic acid with a concentration concentration is more than 4 times greater than that of conventional glycolic acide. Thanks to its small molecular size, it's the most powerful hydroxy acid for acting on the skin's surface layers. 

This feature also enables it to penetrate the skin more effectively, thus enhanced cellular activity. 

The action of this glycolic acid is remarkable: it lisse the epidermis by eliminating dead cells, stimulating the synthesis of collagen and procallogen, while preserving the hyaluronic acid naturally present in the skin.. It also acts effectively to regulate skin pigmentation, contributing to a more even, radiant complexion.

1% Centella Asiatica

Centella Asiatica has several major benefits for the skin:

1. Collagen stimulation: It promotes collagen production, strengthening skin structure, reducing the appearance of stretch marks and improving skin firmness.

2. Anti-inflammatory properties: Its active compounds reduce skin inflammation, alleviating the redness and irritation associated with stretch marks.

3. Stimulates blood and lymph circulation: It improves circulation, allowing nutrients to reach skin cells to help repair tissue damaged by stretch marks.

4. Skin hydration: It enhances the skin's ability to retain moisture, strengthening the skin barrier and preventing the formation of new stretch marks.

1% Dioic acid

We use pure Dioic Acid powder to ensure maximum concentration, without preservatives. It is obtained by biofermentation of natural oleic acid, reinforcing its quality. This Dioic Acid has a powerful anti-spot effect by inhibiting tyrosinase responsible for melanin production. It regulates cell renewal promoting the elimination of pigmented cells and diminishing existing spots. Its antioxidant properties neutralize free radicals, reducing skin damage and blemishes. It also has an anti-inflammatory action to soothe inflammatory skin responses linked to pigmentation.

2% Macadamia oil

Macadamia oil offers numerous benefits for the skin:

1. Rich in essential fatty acids: It contains monounsaturated fatty acids, such as oleic acid, palmitoleic acid and linoleic acid, which strengthen the skin barrier, improve skin structure and prevent the appearance of stretch marks.

2. Antioxidants and anti-inflammatories: The tocopherols (vitamin E) and phytosterols present in macadamia oil have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. They neutralize free radicals, reduce skin inflammation, protect cells and prevent the worsening of existing stretch marks.

3. Rapid absorption and deep hydration: The oil has excellent affinity with the skin, promoting rapid absorption and deep hydration. Its emollient power intensely nourishes the skin, maintaining its elasticity and reducing the appearance of stretch marks.

4. Beneficial effects on skin healing: Macadamia oil has been studied for its skin-healing and tissue-regenerating properties. Incorporating it into an anti-stretch mark and firming skin care product can increase the chances of effectively preventing and treating these skin alterations.

1% Non-cross-linked high molecular weight hyaluronic acid

We have chosen a pure, powdered (=maximum concentration), non-cross-linked, high-molecular-weight Hyaluronic Acid. Why non-crosslinked? Because its molecules are not linked to each other, and are therefore free to distribute themselves evenly throughout the epidermis. Its molecular weight of 1000 Kda binds water (up to 1000 times its weight in water) for an immediate plumping effect, while reinforcing the cutaneous barrier and limiting water loss.. 

Results: a significant reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, smooth, plump skin.

Advice from Dr Nicolas B.

Although it's difficult to completely prevent the appearance of stretch marks, it's important to understand the mechanism by which they form. Stretch marks result from the rupture of collagen and elastin fibers in the dermis, the skin's deepest layer, following sudden distension. This rupture leads to an alteration in skin structure, resulting in a loss of elasticity and the formation of these characteristic marks. To minimize the appearance of stretch marks, we recommend adopting a preventive approach preventative approach by keeping the skin well hydratede. The daily use of a Moisturizing Body Lotion is a beneficial measure, especially when it contains nourishing ingredients such as shea butter. Shea butter is rich in fatty acids and vitamins, making it a powerful moisturizing agent for the skin. It helps strengthen the skin's barrier, preserve elasticity and reduce the damaging effects of stretching.

MAKE YOUR PERSONALIZED DIAGNOSIS

On dry skin, apply 1-2 times a day to the areas concerned: stomach, thighs, hips, chest... then massage in circular motions until the cream is absorbed. Massage is crucial, as it has been proven to improve the appearance of stretch marks. Contains warming active ingredients, which may cause a temporary warming sensation. 

Not recommended for pregnant and breast-feeding women due to the presence of Retinol.
