Regeneration booster
Skin regeneration processes work well in young and healthy skin. However, external influences like stress, lack of sleep, and air-conditioned environments slow down the regeneration process.
Mature skin has a decreased regeneration speed due to a slower renewing time of skin cells. The renewing process slows down between the young adult age of 25 and adults over 40.
Regeneration boosters support and speed up the renewal processes. Measurable results can be detected by the increase in skin smoothness and elasticity based on the stimulation of collagen biosynthesis.
Some regeneration boosters activate cell functions, enhance collagen and other structural protein production, and improve the skin condition, thus counteracting the signs of mature skin.Cephalins are natural phospholipids derived from cereals and used as an active ingredient in after-shave preparations such as lotions, balms, or creams.
