Proven ingredients used in professional products are vital to anti aging success. The key to a successful skincare formula has to be able to penetrate in, absorb, and stay active.
Antioxidant molecules have great penetrating properties, that don’t just sit on top of the skin, to help prevent damage to cells. They neutralize free radicals to prevent tissue damage. Antioxidants also have the ability to treat, help renew and transform your complexion.
The best ingredients chosen also need to be at a high concentration level to be of any benefit and to achieve the best possible end result. The best formula also performs a good buddy system and has ingredients known to interact with each other well and enhance treatment activities.
