Face

Vitamin C belongs with vitamin A, E and selenium and zinc to the group of antioxidants. They bind the damaging oxygen radicals of the skin caused by environmental influences and sun damage. Antioxidant supports the skin cell regeneration. The concentration dosage in serums is higher than in crèmes. The serum comes under the day crème and provides the skin a whole day with active agents.

Not every skin care suits to every skin type! Cremes pass only the superficial skin layers. Deeper wrinkles, hollow cheeks or tired looking eyes need to be treated by hyaluronic acid treatment, a biostimulater like Elance or fat transfer so called „lipofilling“. In some cases surgery is required.  Botulinumtoxin A prevents the development of new wrinkles or stops progression of wrinkles. The skin gets smoother and you have a fresh and relaxed appearance.

For skin from age 35 and older or a dry skin type during the winter season the skin needs retinol-containing crème. With a very dry skin type it is wise to use a creme with a combination of sun protection, antioxidants and panthenol. The topic treatment combined with microdermabrasion or jet peel removes the old skin scales. Additionally, a chemical peeling improves the skin quality and the skin pores shrink.

The skin can absorb perfectly the creme and serum substitutes. For skin with sun-damage signs the AHA-crème are very supportive in stimulating the cell regeneration. Even for skin with acne problems or hyperpigmentation. It reduces the inflammatory spots and bleaches dark spots.
