These days, due to modern technology, communication among Millennials is very frequent - while this may be a different story for the older generation. Something similar happens to cells as they age. Their communication is less efficient, so messages can be either lost or incorrectly communicated.
When reaching the age of 50, women start approaching the hormonal and transitional period of menopause. An increase in dryness, a reduction in skin thickness and elasticity, changes in surface roughness and micro-relief, and an accentuation of ageing signs like wrinkles and age spots are some of the characteristic consequences of this process on the skin.
The alterations in the signalling exchange between skin cells, which contribute to accelerating the skin ageing process, affect skin functioning and homeostasis. The less connected the cells are, the lower the ability of the skin to function correctly as a whole. Reestablishing this communication is key for minimising visible signs of ageing.
Lipotec presents a new biotechnological exopolysaccharide sourced from a microorganism, original to a salina in Costa Blanca (Spain), which produces molecules involved in the cell-to-cell signalling processes. CELLYNKAGE marine ingredient enhances both direct communication between adjacent cells and crosstalk among different skin layers helping to restore homeostasis in the menopausal skin.
The rejuvenating efficacy of the active ingredient was evaluated on a panel of menopausal women who applied a cream with 2% CELLYNKAGE marine ingredient on half side of the face and a placebo cream on the other half, twice a day for 56 days. At the end of the treatment, the thickness of the epidermis increased by 15%, collagen density in the dermis by 2.4% and the skin surface homogeneity increased significantly by 7.9%. In addition, the micro-relief structure improved by 113% when compared to placebo resulting in a more regular meshing and a better organised skin.
By enhancing the direct communication among neighbouring skin cells and improving the signalling exchange between epidermal and dermal cells, CELLYNKAGE marine ingredient augments overall intercellular communication and as result assists in a complete rejuvenating effect for mature skin.
