Strength of the formulation is adjusted and tailored to your skin colour, texture sensitivity and specific condition.

Condition - Wrinkles

Most wrinkles are associated with aging changes in the skin. As aging occurs, a person's skin cells divide more slowly, and the inner skin, or dermis, starts to thin. Fat cells beneath the dermis begin to atrophy, and the underlying network of elastin and collagen fibres, which provides scaffolding for the surface layers, loosens and unravels. Over time skin loses its elasticity and when pressed, it no longer springs back to its initial position but instead sags and forms furrows, or wrinkle lines.

Frown lines (those between the eyebrows) and crow's feet (lines that radiate from the corners of the eyes) appear because of persistent small muscle contractions. Habitual facial expressions also form characteristic lines, contributing to the formation of jowls and drooping eyelids.

Condition - Pigmentation

The formation of the pigment melanin occurs in the basal layer of the epidermis by a cell called the melanocyte. Melas is a Greek word meaning "black".

Melanin production - The melanocyte takes an amino acid called tyrosine and through the action of an enzyme called tyrosinase converts it to a new compound which is then made into melanin by the action of more enzymes. The melanocyte produces granules called melanosomes that contain melanin, a brown pigment.

Condition - Scarring

Whether they are caused by accidents or by surgery, they are unpredictable. The way a scar develops depends as much on how your body heals as it does on the original injury.

• Scars are a direct result of our skins natural defense system
• If the skin is compromised by laceration, burning or picking, the skin's defenses will immediately begin forming new cells
• Scars occur when new cells develop too quickly or too slowly
