Technical Details & Test Data
- Mechanism of Action
EPICA® maintains and restores skin structural integrity by combating the loss of elastin and collagens and by protecting hyaluronic acid.
It protects against premature aging by trapping free radicals.- Scientific Process
- Skin aging
Connective tissue is transformed and the ability of cells to renew is reduced. This leads to a loss of elasticity, leading to wrinkle formation and to a loss of hydrolipid barrier integrity, causing dry and rough skin.
- EPICA®
Its flavonoids and high polyphenol content, in particular tannins, trap and prevent the formation of free radicals. They inhibit the enzymes involved in the proteolysis of collagen, hyaluronic acid and elastin. Skin structural integrity is preserved, the hydrolipid barrier is maintained and the skin surface becomes smoother.
