Young active cells are getting smaller, and the aging cell is not able to perform its functions at the desired level - it slows down biochemical reactions and metabolism. This, in turn, changes the tissue microenvironment and affects the functions of neighboring cells. The consequences are obvious: the skin becomes thin, dull, inelastic, loses collagen and the ability to retain water, that is, grows old. Renewal of the skin and freshness of the face is our theme.
Cyclins: reboot
How to make a middle-aged cage to share, and not young skin - to continue to be updated with our expectations worthy of our expectations? Today we know that in the mechanisms of the cell cycle a key role is played by special proteins - cyclins. If the concentration of cyclins is insufficient, the cell will not be divided. It is because of the lack of cyclins that the aging cells are at rest. Employees of the research department and orchidarium Guerlain, as a result of many years of research, have determined that the extract of leaves, stems and flowers of some orchid species stimulates the production of cyclin E, the one that is needed for DNA doubling in the cell and for its further division. In the population of aging cells treated with Vanda coerulea orchid extract, the level of cyclin E was the same as in young active cells. The molecular extract "Royal Orchid" obtained in Guerlain laboratories in summer 2010 was included in the anti-aging emulsion Orchidee Imperiale Fluide.
Under the protection of orchids
In addition, in the orchid Vanda coerulea, scientists have discovered three types of phytoalexins - unique plant "antibiotics", active agents of the immune system of plants. During laboratory tests, their ability to protect the structure of cell membranes from free radicals, suppress the excessive production of melanin and slow the synthesis of enzymes that lead to the destruction of collagen and elastin was confirmed.
Effect
According to the results of clinical tests, the use of emulsion within one month significantly increases the density and elasticity of the skin. In addition, 94% of participants in the self-assessment tests noted a significant improvement in the uniformity and brightness of the skin color and the clarity of the contours of the face. It is known that the aggressive influence of various environmental factors - radiation, polluted air, shortwave ultraviolet, hard water - contributes to the destruction of the protective skeleton of the skin. This instantly reflects on its appearance and gradually leads to its premature aging. Cosmetic products containing plant extracts stimulating the production of cyclin E contribute to the restoration of the epidermis and dermal collagen-elastin matrix, which ultimately leads to the regeneration of damaged skin structures.
