TWO ACIDS AND ONE VITAMIN

How exactly do these three components work and why is their synergy so powerful?

Vitamin C, which is also known as ascorbic acid, is considered the oldest form of acid. Therefore, this vitamin is water-soluble, it mainly works in a watery environment, such as the space between the skin’s cells. On the other hand, Vitamin E is a fat-soluble antioxidant. It mainly works in the fatty areas, including cellular membranes, which are made up of fatty acids.

The Alpha Lipoic acid (ALA) merges the best of both worlds – this vitamin-like substance, which is found in every cell of the human body, works to combat free radicals, in fatty and watery environments, which is why it is also known as a “universal antioxidant.” More than that, the antioxidating properties of the alpha-lipoic acid remarkably resemble those of Vitamin C and Vitamin E, while being thought to be the body’s natural reservoir for supplementing deficiencies in these two vitamins, which can replace some of their roles in situations when the body is deficient in them.

Therefore, it’s obvious that these three potent antioxidants complete each other and their common and mutual activity create a synergy that is far more effective than each ingredient separately. Furthermore, it seems that it’s not the only common property that these three ingredients have. It appears that each one of the components is also used as an important anti-inflammatory agent in the body, and together, all three components are particularly potent for relieving inflammatory processes in the skin’s cells, thereby accelerating the skin’s aging process.

Furthermore, both acids – Vitamin C and alpha-lipoic acid, each act separately and collectively with even greater potency for lightening the skin. Vitamin C blocks the tyrosinase enzyme, which is in charge of melanin production in the skin during sun exposure, thereby reducing the production of melanin levels that are responsible for pigmentation spots. Similarly, it was found that alpha-lipoic acid helps combat pigmentation damage by inhibiting the uncontrolled production of melanin in the skin. The three components also elevate the activity of the cellular repair mechanisms, thereby minimizing the damages being caused to the skin as a result of exposure to the sun’s ultra-violet rays, and can even help repair wrinkles.
Vitamin C and alpha acid have two common crucial properties: they’re both considered acids and they’re both one of the most potent antioxidants in nature. In the Renew Formula range, these two acids are integrated with another potent antioxidant – Vitamin E. The synergy between these three antioxidants creates a particularly effective treatment for the renewal of the skin that was affected by sun damage and the environment, and for slowing down the skin’s aging process.
In addition to the common properties, each of these three components also has unique features that make them super-components in repairing sun and environmental damage and in slowing down the skin’s aging process, as each component completes the other two. Vitamin C is vital for collagen and elastin production – the skin’s proteins that are in charge of its elasticity and firmness, and studies have shown that applying it on the skin increases their production even in older skins. Vitamin E works to improve the skin’s moisture levels and prevents dehydration from the epidermis, while the alpha-lipoic acid prevents the glycolysis process in the skin – a process whereby glucose bonds with collagen, creating a toxic effect that makes the skin less elastic, develops wrinkles rapidly, causing rigidity and making the skin susceptible to scars.

Studies that examined the use of Vitamin C, Vitamin E and alpha-lipoic acid when applying cosmetics products on the skin surface revealed that in order to achieve a higher level of efficiency, a relatively high concentration of them is required. The Renew Formula range is based on a particularly high concentrations of these three components, thereby maximizing their efficacy in these products, while their combination demonstrates exceptional results.

In order to make the products even more effective, the range also combines other antioxidant and anti-inflammatory components such as green tea and alpha-bisabolol, additional lightening substances such as azelaic acid, a probiotic extract that strengthens the skin’s immune system, and anti-aging components that act to renew the skin such as salicylic acid and retinol.

High levels of the concentrated active ingredients in the Renew Formula range – Vitamin C, Vitamin E and Alpha lipoic acid generate a potent range with wide-ranging action that originated in their crucial common properties, as well as the synergy between the three. These properties include antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity with a boosted activity of the skin’s natural recovery mechanisms. In addition, there are unique properties such as lightening, collagen-production support, maintaining the skin’s moisture and preventing cellular destruction. The combination of additional components, such as green team, alpha-bisabolol, and probiotic extract, even further increases that synergy and demonstrates impressive results in repairing the skin’s damage and its renewal, with a healthy-looking and more radiant skin than ever before.
