Skin ageing is a multiple-factor process involving the progressive alteration of the physiological functions of skin triggered by genetic, hormonal and external environmental factors (UV rays, smoking, pollution, stress, lifestyle and eating habits).
The most evident signs of ageing skin are a dull skin tone, wrinkles and, especially, the loss of skin density. The BioNike laboratories have renewed the DEFENCE ELIXAGE range of anti-ageing treatments to counter such ageing skin signs. Based on the special R3 formula, the products perform a triple anti-ageing action: Repairs – Redensifies – Renews.
The products feature highly sensorial and pleasant textures, instantly giving a feeling of extreme comfort upon application. Day after day, skin will become softer, smoother, firmer and more radiant. Ageing signs will be softened and face contours will be better defined.
The R3 FORMULA
The special R3 formula has been designed to activate cell youth dynamic mechanisms in skin and performs a triple anti-ageing action
- Repairs damage caused by oxidative stress thanks to a set of precious anti-oxidant ingredients that provide skin with new defence systems to counter free radicals
- Vitamin C
- Vitamin E
- Lycopene
- Redensifies skin, by working on the epidermis-dermis junction and on skin-supporting elements (collagen, elastin, hyaluronic acid)
- Vitamin A
- Vitamin F
- Biotechnological polysaccharides
- Renews skin, thanks to cutting-edge ingredients, which slow down ageing by countering the shortening of telomeres, the true biological markers for cell ageing.
- GGP: a special active ingredient that extends the lifespan of cells by preserving telomere length, besides reducing oxidative stress and reactivating extracellular matrix metabolism. (GGP = Geranylgeranylisopropanol)
- Alpine snow alga biotechnological extract: in skin, this peculiar extract activates cell detoxification mechanisms, increases cell longevity and rejuvenates the dermal-epidermal junction.
