It is the most effective ingredient in skin care. A single ingredient, nothing less than from the microalgae variety, capable of transforming the appearance of the skin from the very first application. It's called Nannochloropsis ocultata and it not only reduces fine lines by 23%, but also helps maintain skin firmness in the long term.
The way skin aging is viewed and its treatment approach has changed in recent years. Our priorities have also shifted, and it is the loss of collagen and, as a result, firmness, that truly takes precedence. This "sagging" or "gravity effect" is not just a problem for mature skin; many postural habits among younger age groups also take their toll, especially on the lower part of our face, the so-called "Y" area. This area includes the chin, jawline, and neck.
Fortunately, this is where Nannochloropsis ocultata extract comes into play, a skincare ingredient that provides both instant and long-term firming effects, helping the skin recover from oxidative stress and look as healthy as possible for longer.
What are the benefits of Nannochloropsis ocultata for the skin?
One of the star ingredients in Plant Perfection Gel Serum, this purified microalgae (meaning it is free of impurities, very common in this field) is an innovative active ingredient for facial care. It provides the skin with essential amino acids, necessary vitamins (C and B12), potent antioxidants, and high-performance polysaccharides. The result is an increase in dermal fibroblasts and collagen production, which are crucial for healthy, younger-looking skin. What’s more, stimulating collagen-1 synthesis in the skin improves connective tissue structure, leading to increased elasticity and firmness. Additionally, this marvelous ingredient is 100% natural and obtained using the latest biotechnological advancements, meaning it is not only super skin-friendly but also environmentally friendly.
But, does it really work?
The short answer is yes. On one hand, in vitro tests (those performed in a laboratory) have shown that this extract increases collagen production and reduces wrinkles, while improving skin elasticity. On the other hand, a recent in vivo study (i.e., when the product is applied to volunteers) has shown very similar results, confirming the foregoing. Within minutes of the first application, the group, aged between 40 and 65, noticed an immediate tightening effect and that their skin became firmer. After 12 hours from the first application, positive, visible, and lasting effects on wrinkles were observed, along with more elasticity in critical facial areas such as nasolabial folds, jawline, and neck. With only 2 months of continuous treatment, twice a day, volunteers experienced a 23% reduction in the appearance of wrinkles, and their skin elasticity improved by 15%. Incredible, isn't it?
While many active ingredients claim to slow down the aging process, only a few back their claims with science. Nannochloropsis ocultata extract not only delivers on its promise but also promotes healthy, vibrant-looking skin. For us, it’s an absolute essential!
