A.G.E. INTERRUPTER
A.G.E. Interrupter is specifically formulated to improve the creping, thinning appearance of mature skin caused by intrinsic or internal aging processes such as glycation. Glycation occurs when excess glucose molecules stick to collagen and elastin fibers, eventually binding them together and leading to the formation of Advanced Glycation End-products (A.G.E.). Glycated collagen and elastin fibers lose the ability to function normally, and the body cannot break them down and replace them, which leads to severe wrinkling of the skin.
BENEFITS
- 4% Blueberry extract slows down the process of advanced glycation end-product (A.G.E.) formation, preventing the rigidification of collagen and elastin fibers
- 30% Proxylane™ stimulates GAG synthesis, restoring water and nutrients to the dermal epidermal junction
- 0.2% Phytosphingosine helps protect the skin’s barrier to alleviate discomfort associated with dry, aging skin
RETEXTURING ACTIVATOR
This revolutionary resurfacing and replenishing serum surpasses the results of a 20% daily glycolic treatment while simultaneously reinforcing the skin’s barrier for healthier, more radiant skin. Retexturing Activator harnesses two polar mechanisms — exfoliation and hydration — to activate skin’s regeneration response, visibly diminishing surface lines and transforming skin’s fabric into a smoother, softer texture. Using patent-pending technology, this unique treatment contains a 25% concentration of a paradoxal compound discovered to be highly effective at promoting cell differentiation while optimizing the skin's amino acid supply to reinforce the barrier, resulting in the most efficient epidermal renewal. Potent without harsh side effects, Retexturing Activator is formulated in an efficient, oil-free delivery system suitable for all skin types.
BENEFITS
- Normalizes epidermal renewal to resurface the skin
- Stimulates enzymes that promote efficient desquamation without irritation
- Promotes cell differentiation encouraging new cell migration to the skin's surface
- Replenishes moisture levels critical for efficient cell differentiation and desquamation
- Reinforces skin's barrier by optimizing the amino acid supply, a key element of skin's natural moisturizing factor (NMF)
- Smoothes skin and improves radiance and tone

This patent-pending formulation combines precise concentrations of kojic acid and emblica along with a highly efficient exfoliating blend, optimized to work by three modes of action to systematically improve uneven skin tone. Pigment Regulator inhibits the production of excess melanin, prevents excess melanin from traveling to the skin’s surface, and breaks up melanin clusters on the skin’s surface to diminish existing discoloration.
BENEFITS

Phloretin CF®, a broad-spectrum treatment, protects against not only free radicals, but the range of other reactive molecules known to cause damage and DNA mutations among the integral cell types. In addition, it corrects existing damage by stimulating the synthesis of essential proteins and fibers and accelerating cell turnover. The result — a strengthened support structure on the inside and a more youthful, firm, radiant appearance on the outside.
BENEFITS · Prevents premature signs of aging and corrects existing photodamage · Divides and conquers the range of reactive oxygen species (ROS) throughout the skin · Prevents cell mutation by shielding skin’s DNA · Accelerates cell turnover · Boosts skin’s support structure · Inhibits UV-induced discolorations
