How do we get our skin to glow? The "Glow" is a subjective notion.It is some thing that is not only dealing with the biology of the skin, but also a feeling, like the one that comes from inside a woman in love. We say "She glows".

So how can we reproduce the Glow ? Biologically speaking we look for four main factors.

1. We want to have a perfect reflection of light onto the skin. And for that we need to have a smooth surface.

2. We need to have healthy cells, and have to healthy cells, they need to be fully protected from the oxidative stress caused by free radicals, both inside us and for the environment. A simple example of oxidization is the change of colour of an apple to brown after it is cut. Now, to prevent this, you can cover the apple with lemon juice. The same idea will be taking place with your skin.

3. We need remove "dyschromia", or the spots on the skin.

4. We want plump, elastic skin with a rosy glow and diminished fine lines and wrinkles.

So how do we get these four attributes of Glowing Skin?

It is called Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate, and It is an A List ingredient .It is the the most expensive kind of Vitamin C in the marketplace because it is stabilized and It penetrates skin deeper than all other forms of vitamin C .

It is a super antioxidant which protects the cells from free radicals, keeping them healthy. Healthy cells create glowing skin, unhealthy skin is dull. We pair it with Ferulic Acid and Vitamin E to boost anti-oxidant qualities even more .

Vitamin C is also a co-factor in the synthesis of collagen, which plumps skin. Plumped skin reflects light better -and this also makes the skin glow.

Most other Vitamin C Serums in the market use L-Ascorbic Acid, because it is cost effective, but it is notoriously unstable and prone to turning brown- which means you can no longer use it.

Niacinamide is the “it” ingredient ;and we use we use a very pure and effective type of Niacinamide. It refines pores, firms skin and stimulates the rebuilding of the extracellular matrix , meaning the top layer of your skin, so it is a very potent anti-wrinkle ingredient.

And finally, it evens out skin tone because it inhibits the transfer of melanin from the Melanocyte to the Keratinocyte. Or in layman's terms , it slows down dark pigment from moving from the beneath your skin where you can’t see it, to the outer layer of your skin, where you can

There is more Niacinimide in Glow Cream, than in AgeWell Night Cream.Click Chart to compare creams.

Niacinimide helps prevent the transfer of Melanin to the Epidermis.

The Melanocyte: Definition and Origin
Melanocytes are defined as dendritic cells located in the basal layer of the epidermis . They produce the pigment melanin from tyrosine. Upon maturation, the melanin is transferred to keratinocytes for imparting pigmentation to skin.Figure 1: From the depth to the surface: melanocytes are located deep on the basal layer of skin and transfer the melanin they produce to the keratinocytes.

They are extracted from Lupine, or BlueBonnet. Lupine is the leguminous , or pea family plant that is richest in protein. Signalling peptides in skincare direct amino acid chains to intertwine and form collagen.Boosting collagen means wrinkles are reduced and skin is more volumized. The peptides also work synergistically with Niacinimide and Vitamin C to help even skin tone.

Optional Extra info

One of the (relatively) newer darlings of plant-based active ingredients for skin care has earned itself the nickname 'botox in a bottle'.

'It' is actually a 'they', and they have the super-trendy name: Lupine Peptides.

Lupine peptides (INCI: Hydrolyzed Lupine Protein) is a blend of peptides sourced from lupine flower protein. The pentapeptides and hexapeptides work as a matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) inhibitor.

What does that mean?

Simply that they prevent the connective skin tissue breakdown that follows normal exposure to sunlight. In other words, lupine peptides help renew the outer layers of skin by stimulating production of collagen & elastin, giving the skin a younger look, and visibly reducing the depth of wrinkles.

This a plant based retinol alternative that helps reduce the look of fine lines and wrinkles.which we have a 2% concentration of in the Concentrate.

First of all- in order for our efficacious ingredients to penetrate our skin- we need to remove dirt and debris.

That is why we have the Glow Cleanser, which is a gentle cream to foam formula that will clean deeply without stripping your skin.

Then our Four Glow Goals are

1. Smooth Skin
2. Healthy Cells
3. Even skin tone
4. Plump, elastic skin with diminished fine lines and wrinkles.

Smooth Skin? Niacinimide in the Glow Concentrate.

Healthy Cells? Vitamin C in the Cleanser, Glow Concentrate and Cream.

Even Skin Tone? Niacinimide in the Glow Cream.

Plump Elastic Skin with diminished fine lines and wrinkles?

Cleanser, Drops and Cream!

This luxurious cream-to-foam cleanser gently removes impurities and

makeup, and won’t strip your skin of moisture. Like all the products in this

line, it contains stabilized Vitamin C.

The cleanser also contains red clover, watercress and cucumber to soothe

and comfort your skin, so you can even use it around your eyes and lips.

(Dampen skin and with damp fingers rub a pea sized amount of cleanser

into a lather. Massage in gentle circular motions all over your face and

neck for about a minute. Rinse well with water and pat dry.)

With 15% stabilized Vitamin C, 2% Bakuchiol (that’s a plant-based, gentler

alternative to the harsher wrinkle relaxer Retin-A prescribed by so many

dermatologists) and 1% Ferulic Acid (a high-powered antioxidant), the Skin

Therapy Concentrate is one of our hero products. Using just a few drops

daily can, over time, significantly combat the visible signs of aging - the

wrinkles, fine lines, and dark spots - for a more vibrant, youthful

complexion.

(Squeeze 2 to 3 water-weight drops into your palm, morning and night,

and apply with fingertips around your face, neck, or décolleté.)

This rich, hydrating cream features ingredients clinically shown to support

a smoother and more luminous complexion when paired with the

Illuminating SkinTherapy Concentrate. These glow-enhancing ingredients

include stabilized Vitamin C, Niacinamide (a.k.a. vitamin B-3) and White

Lupine Lipopeptides (which can protect against damage and premature

aging).

Use morning and night for the ultimate glow!

(You are going to use a fingernail sized scoop and apply it to your middle

finger. Tap your middle fingers together, and apply in an upward motion

towards the hairline.)

So that is your DermResults Starter Kit- a simple but innovative 3 step

system for glowing skin.

Toner

A toning mist is great to prime the skin by hydrating and balancing the pH

prior to applying the Skin Therapy Concentrate. We recommend either our

AgeWell Refreshing Toning Mist or our BrightenUp Illuminating Toner.

(Use 2-3 spritzes directly to your face and neck)

Eye Cream

Any eye cream can be paired with the DermResults Regimen, depending

upon your skin needs or concerns. We recommend using AgeWell

Enriching Eye Cream or BrightenUp Eye Cream.

(Use your ring finger to dab a small amount right on your occipital bone. A

little dab will do ya.)

DermPads

As an optional Step Two, after washing your face, you can add these great

resurfacing pads to your routine morning or night. They promote

exfoliation of dull dead skin cells to expose a healthier, smoother, more

radiant complexion.

(After cleansing, wipe a moistened pad gently in an upward motion all

over your face. If you have extra, don’t waste it, use it on your neck , chest

or the back of your hands.)

( Note: The pads are glycolic acid and the DermResults concentrate contains Bakuchiol. They can be too intense to be used together.

Tip: use the HydrateMe serum after the pads to rehydrate the skin and top it off with Nourishing Facial Oil.)

SPF

Glow Cream was formulated without SPF so it could be used as both a

daytime and nighttime moisturizer. We offer plenty of other great products

that range from SPF 15 to 30 in a variety of moisturizers and cosmetic

products, depending upon skin needs, and we’ll be happy to make

recommendations.
