Definitive Optimising Mask

X50® Skin Barrier utilises a specialised delivery system (drone system) to transport two peptides directly to keratinocytes, which are cells crucial for maintaining the skin's barrier function. These peptides stimulate the production of key proteins like keratin, filaggrin, and loricrin. These proteins play a vital role in forming a strong and resilient skin barrier.

As we age, our skin's ability to produce these proteins decreases, leading to a weakened barrier and increased water loss through the skin. By boosting the synthesis of these proteins, X50® Skin Barrier helps to restore and strengthen the skin's protective barrier. This results in improved hydration levels and better protection against environmental factors such as pollution and UV radiation, which can damage the skin and accelerate ageing. Overall, X50® Skin Barrier supports healthier, more resilient skin by enhancing barrier function and promoting skin renewal.

X50® Myocept Peptide combines a Neuropeptide with a complex of encapsulated Lactic and Glycolic Acids. The Neuropeptide works by inhibiting facial muscle contractions, thereby reducing the appearance of expression lines and wrinkles. Meanwhile, Glycolic and Lactic Acids gently exfoliate the skin, promoting brightness and stimulating collagen production.

The delivery system used ensures that these active ingredients reach their target areas effectively, enhancing their overall effectiveness. By combining these actions, X50® Myocept Peptide aims to provide comprehensive benefits such as plumping, tightening, and smoothing wrinkles for a more youthful and revitalized complexion.

Willow Bark Extract contains a compound called salicin, which enzymatically converts into salicylic acid (BHA) when applied to the skin. Salicylic acid is a beta hydroxy acid (BHA) known for its exfoliating properties. It works by penetrating into the pores and exfoliating the dead skin cells and debris that can clog them, thus helping to prevent acne and improve skin texture. Additionally, Willow Bark Extract has anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties, which further contribute to reducing inflammation, calming the skin, and regulating sebum (oil) production. Overall, it helps to refine the skin's appearance, reduce blemishes, and minimize the appearance of pores.

Kahai Oil, also known as Cacay Oil, offers versatile benefits including anti-ageing, nourishment, and protection for the skin. Kahai Oil works through a combination of its rich components: The Vitamins E and A in Kahai Oil act as antioxidants, protecting skin cells from free radical damage and environmental stressors, which helps to prevent premature ageing. Vitamin A (Retinol) supports skin cell renewal and repair, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by promoting the production of new, healthy skin cells. Omega-3 and Omega-6 Fatty Acids are essential fatty acids that strengthen the skin barrier, improve hydration, and reduce inflammation, leading to healthier, more resilient skin. Together, these components nourish, protect, and rejuvenate the skin, resulting in a smoother, more youthful complexion.

Jojoba Oil has a similar oil composition to human sebum (oil) This similarity allows it to replenish the hydro-lipidic film and regulate sebum overproduction, without clogging pores or creating a greasy feel. When applied to the skin, Jojoba Oil can trick the skin into thinking it has produced enough oil, thereby reducing excessive oil production. Additionally, it has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties, making it ideal for congested, oily, and blemish-prone skin.

Alpha-Hydroxy Acids are a chemical exfoliant which exfoliate the top layers of the skin, offering a variety of benefits. They are mostly derived from plant-based sources. Some of the most common AHAs are Glycolic Acid, Lactic Acid, Citric Acid, Mandelic Acid and Malic Acid. Depending on the type of AHA, they can reduce dullness, even skin tone, reduce pigmentation, tighten pores, stimulate collagen production, hydrate the skin and offer antioxidant protection. AHAs are generally less irritating and drying to the skin as they are water-soluble.
