PhytoCellTec Argan redensifies skin by stem cell activation

Published: 18-May-2016

PhytoCellTec Argan was developed to improve the regenerative capacity of dermal and hypodermal stem cells

Deep-Seated Rejuvenation of the Skin

In order to maintain the skin in a healthy condition, cutaneous tissue is being continuously regenerated. This regenerative capacity relies on adult stem cells in the skin. While considerable research has been carried out on epidermal stem cells, it was only a few years ago that dermal stem cells were identified. The dermis is the middle layer of the skin and gives it tensile strength and elasticity. Therefore, it is also the site where wrinkles originate.

Furthermore, a pool of adult stem cells is present in an even deeper layer of the skin – the hypodermis. These stem cells are precursors of different cell types including adipocytes, which proliferate to replenish the hypodermis and fill furrows from the inside.

PhytoCellTec Argan was developed to improve the regenerative capacity of dermal and hypodermal stem cells, thereby achieving deep-seated rejuvenation of the skin and the filling of wrinkles. PhytoCellTec Argan is a cosmetic active that is based on stem cells of the argan tree, one of the oldest tree species in the world.

In vitro and clinical studies performed on healthy volunteers showed that PhytoCellTec Argan:

  • effectively stimulates the regeneration of dermal connective tissue, thereby increasing skin density
  • helps the skin to regain its firmness
  • stimulates the proliferation of dermal and hypodermal stem cells
  • significantly reduces wrinkle depth in the crow’s feet area and the nasolabial fold

PhytoCellTec Argan is the very first active ingredient that is capable of both protecting and vitalising human dermal and hypodermal stem cells. This will not only help to accelerate the skin’s natural repair process but also fights skin ageing right at the root.
