Skin, one of our largest and most visible organs, establishes, controls and transmits contacts with the external world . Beyond the classical image of the skin as a barrier organ and providing physical resistance to mechanical stress, it operates as a huge and highly active biofactory in the synthesis, processing and metabolism of skin constituents including structural proteins, polysaccharides, lipids and a diversity of signaling molecules.
Skin’s excellent mechanistic, protective and bio-restorative properties are, however, not eternal and are impaired with age. Daily exposure to a multitude of environmental stressors including sunlight , air pollutants as well as household and industrial chemicals may additionally accentuate cutaneous deterioration related to chronological skin aging. Remarkably, psychological stress is known as another stressor with a similar impact on the skin’s bio-restorative function.
In addition, modern cosmetic or dermatological procedures may further stress or irritate our skin to some extent. In some cases, possibly in the absence of appropriate post-procedural care, skin may heal with hypertrophic scarring and post-inflammatory hyper-, or hypopigmentation. Depending on the procedure, the time period for skin restoration and healing can be significant.
These intrinsic as well as extrinsic factors or circumstances may influence the nutritive needs of skin for bio-restoration. Our skin requires therefore permanent care and nourishment to provide both refreshment and restorative capacity.
PSP® - High Protein Skin Care
Simply the most advanced biotechnology for your skin
NEOCUTIS proprietary technology uses cultured fetal skin cells to obtain an optimal, naturally balanced mixture of skin nutrients including cytokines, growth factors and antioxidants. This mixture is called PSP®, which stands for ‘Processed Skin Cell Proteins’.
JOURNÉE Bio-restorative Day Cream
JOURNÉE is the only Day Cream that combines PSP® technology with antioxidants and broad spectrum UVA/UVB sun protection.
JOURNÉE is the most complete Day Cream and combines many benefits in one single product.
JOURNÉE offers protective skin care in an elegant formulation helping to:
· Smooth fine lines and wrinkles
· Guard against premature aging
· Nurture post-procedural skin
· Protect from free radicals
· Help prevent sun damage
· Revitalize skin
JOURNÉE is ideal for all skin types.
What makes JOURNÉE unique?
JOURNÉE simultaneously addresses both, visible signs of chronological and photo-aging or premature skin aging. The following key ingredients help to improve signs of chronological skin and photo-aging:
1) PSP® - The Proprietary Human Growth Factors Mixture by NEOCUTIS
PSP provides a unique mixture of human growth factors, cytokines and interleukins helping to revitalize skin and smooth fine lines and wrinkles.
2) Combination of a Chemical and a Physical Sunscreen Filter
The combination of Octinoxate and microfine Zinc Oxide has been proven to provide effective protection from both UVA and UVB while at the same time, keeping the formulation of JOURNÉE aestheticly pleasing and cosmetically elegant. JOURNÉE does not leave a white residue from high levels of zinc oxide or titanium oxide and therefore feels light on the skin.
3) Powerful Anti-Oxidant Blend
To protect from the damaging effects of the UV rays, which are bypassing the broad-spectrum sun protection SPF30+ provided by octinoxate and zinc oxide, JOURNÉE is formulated with a high content of 0.25% green tea (camellia sinensis leaf) extract, stabilized forms of vitamin C (sodium ascorbyl phosphate) and vitamin E (tocopheryl acetate) as well as melanin. This powerful anti-oxidant blend helps to further protect the skin against the multi-fold adverse effects of solar ultraviolet radiation and maximizes the photoprotection of JOURNÉE.
4) Natural Skin Moisturizers
Additionally, JOURNÉE contains a combination of sodium hyaluronate and glycerin which help to hydrate skin.
Use of JOURNÉE Bio-restorative Day Cream
Apply JOURNÉE in the morning or follow the recommendations of your skin professional. In the evening, use NEOCUTIS Bio-restorative Skin Cream or Bio-Gel Bio-restorative Hydrogel.
For optimal results, use in combination with LUMIÈRE Bio-restorative Eye Cream.
LUMIÈRE Bio-restorative Eye Cream
NEOCUTIS brings the latest scientific breakthrough to the anti-aging skin care market. LUMIÈRE Bio-restorative Eye Cream is the first and only formulation to contain PSP® for treating the aged and stressed skin around and under your eyes.
LUMIÈRE Bio-restorative Eye Cream with PSP® is for aged and stressed skin around your eyes helping to:
· Reduce dark circles
· Smooth fine lines and wrinkles
· Reduce puffiness
· Refresh fragile skin
Recently, a large clinical study with LUMIÈRE Bio-restorative Eye Cream was completed. The study demonstrated that LUMIÈRE helps to significantly reduce the signs of aged and stressed skin around the eye after six weeks of twice daily use.
What makes LUMIÈRE unique?
Research indicates that PSP® combined with the unique blend of key ingredients contained in LUMIÈRE helps to promote youthful more vibrant skin around and under the eyes.
1) Reduces Dark Circles
PSP® helps form thicker and firmer skin making the area under the eyes less translucent to the dark purplish blood vessels just below the surface.
2) Smoothes Fine Lines and Wrinkles
The unique mixture of growth factors contained in PSP® helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Hyaluronate hydrates and prevents moisture loss while providing the optimal environment for efficacy of PSP®. Together, they help to firm and tighten delicate skin under and around the eyes.
3) Reduces Puffiness
Caffeine promotes drainage under the eyes helping to alleviate puffiness and fluid retention.
4) Refreshes Fragile Skin
Bisabolol and enoxolone (glycyrrhetinic acid) help to sooth and calm the stressed skin around and under the eyes. Beech tree bud extract help to improve tissue oxygenation thereby refreshing the skin.
