CORRECT
Over time, regardless of lifestyle, skin begins to change. Signs of aging may appear, fine lines, wrinkles, discoloration, and loss of elasticity become more visible. These signs can be the result of collagen breakdown, slower cell turnover, and loss of moisture. Damage is intensified by sun exposure, environmental elements, and smoking. A strong preventive program is critical to prevent further damage from these assaults and help slow down the aging process. Additionally,
Skinceuticals corrective products combine reparative, lightening, and exfoliating ingredients to help rehabilitate damaged skin, restoring a healthier and more youthful appearance.
A.G.E. INTERRUPTER
A.G.E. interrupter is specifically formulated to improve the creping, thinning appearance of mature skin caused by intrinsic or integral 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.
A.G.E. interrupter is a unique treatment formulated with 4% blueberry extract, 30% proxylane tm, and 0.2% phytosphingosine to help prevent the glycation process and correct severe signs of intrinsic aging in mature skin.
