It has been 17 years since the launch of the Advanced Génifique Ultimate serum, a revolutionary skincare product that has been transforming the way we approach anti-aging. Over the years, the product has undergone significant transformations, with the latest version introducing β-glucans, a powerful ingredient that has garnered significant attention in recent times.
When we first launched the product, discussing genes and their impact on aging was considered too scientific for the general audience. However, with the previous version, around 2019-2020, we incorporated new research findings on the microbiome and its positive interaction with bacteria on the skin. The latest version, on the other hand, focuses on repairing the skin’s barrier function, a crucial aspect of maintaining healthy skin.
Every day, our skin is exposed to various internal and external aggressors, including stress and UV pollution. As we age, our skin’s capacity to repair these micro-damages decreases, leading to premature signs of aging. Repairing the barrier function is essential, as it makes skin more resilient to future damages and is based on 27 years of research in repair sciences.
Beta-Glucans: A Powerful Ingredient
β-Glucans is a large molecule that provides hydration and repairing power, making it even more potent than hyaluronic acid. This molecule has been studied in the medical field, with numerous research findings on wound healing, and has also been explored in the food industry for its benefits to the gut.
In the context of skin care, β-glucans acts on a molecule called the repair switch, or NRF2, which activates all repair mechanisms and cascade into the skin. This allows for targeted action at the cellular and molecular level, making it an effective ingredient for repairing damaged skin.
India’s Diverse Skin Typology
India’s diverse skin types and weather conditions have been extensively researched, with the country serving as an ideal location for studying skin typology. The findings have revealed that many Indian skin types are similar to those found worldwide, making it an essential location for understanding skin aging.
Addressing Uneven Skin Tone and Climate-Related Issues
In India, the first signs of aging are often linked to uneven skin tone, while in other countries, wrinkles are the primary concern. However, the biological mechanisms underlying these issues are the same for everyone, regardless of location or climate conditions. The key to addressing these concerns lies in using the right ingredients in the right order, at the right time.
Pollution and its Impact on Indian Skin
Yes, pollution is having a significant impact on Indian skin, with studies revealing that people living in polluted cities experience more skin issues than those living in cleaner environments. The data suggests that 20% of skin aging is attributed to genetics, while 80% is due to lifestyle factors, such as epigenetics. Repair science can help mitigate these effects, and proper photo protection is essential for preventing UV damage.
Solution and Mindful Skincare
For addressing pollution-related skin issues, a gentle cleansing routine is essential, using products that remove pollution particles and makeup without stripping the skin of its natural lipids. Maintaining hydration, keeping the body and skin hydrated, and receiving good skin diagnosis are also crucial.
A Shift in Perspective
As we approach skincare, it’s essential to shift our focus away from the term “anti-aging” and instead, focus on aging in a healthy way. Wrinkles are a sign of a life well-lived, and smiling is a key contributor to aging beautifully.
