The Benefits

Microbiome Balancing

Microbiome Balancing involves maintaining a healthy balance of microorganisms (bacteria, fungi, viruses) that live on your skin. Your skin's microbiome is crucial for protecting against pathogens, regulating pH, maintaining a healthy barrier, and ensuring optimal hydration. A balanced microbiome leads to clearer, healthier skin that’s more resilient to irritation and inflammation. Probiotics, prebiotics, and postbiotics are key ingredients that support a healthy microbiome. Probiotics introduce beneficial bacteria, prebiotics fuel the growth of good bacteria and help balance pH, and postbiotics enhance hydration and strengthen the skin barrier. This combination helps your skin stay healthy and vibrant.

Anti-Wrinkle (Vaso-Constricting)

The ''Injectable-Like Effect'' involves using these neurotransmitter-inhibiting peptides (that serve as building blocks for proteins like collagen and elastin) to relax tiny facial muscles, smoothing out existing fine lines and wrinkles. This process also stimulates the natural production of collagen and elastin, helping to prevent new wrinkles from forming.

Anti-Wrinkle

Anti-wrinkle products work to smooth out fine lines and wrinkles by boosting collagen and elastin, essential proteins that keep your skin glowing. Collagen helps reduce wrinkle depth, while elastin shortens their length. Keeping your skin hydrated is crucial, as dehydration can make wrinkles more noticeable. For smooth, bouncy skin, ensure you stay well-hydrated and use products that promote collagen and elastin production.

Firming

Skin firming focuses on boosting your skin's elasticity and tightness to reduce sagging and wrinkles, leaving your skin looking firmer. This is done by stimulating fibroblasts to produce more elastin, the protein that helps your skin stretch and bounce back. To keep your skin firm longer, antioxidants protect these elastin fibres from free radical damage, which can cause early breakdown. This combined action helps maintain a youthful, resilient complexion.

Plumping

Skin plumping involves using active ingredients to boost the production of key structural components like collagen, the dermal-epidermal junction, and glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), giving your skin more volume and density. Collagen provides structural support and firmness, while the dermal-epidermal junction, a thin connective layer, ensures smooth, wrinkle-free skin by facilitating cell communication. GAGs, like hyaluronic acid, keep your skin hydrated and plump from within. By stimulating these components, active ingredients help restore your skin's plumpness and radiance.

Anti-Pigmentation

Dealing with pigmentation means targeting melanin overproduction to reduce dark spots and prevent new ones. Melanin production can be triggered by UV exposure, pollution, hormonal changes (like during pregnancy), and inflammation (from acne or cuts). This excess pigment is then transferred to surrounding cells in epidermis called keratinocytes, which then moves to the skin's surface, causing visible dark spots.

To treat hyperpigmentation, a personalised and consistent approach is needed. Our anti-pigmentation products include lightening agents to block tyrosinase (the enzyme that creates melanin), antioxidants to fight free radicals, and ingredients to speed up skin cell turnover, removing pigmented cells. Using broad-spectrum sun protection is crucial to prevent new pigmentation during treatment.

Photo-Protecting

Photo-protective products offer strong protection against harmful UV radiation. They create a defensive barrier on your skin, preventing sunburn, premature ageing, and DNA damage from sun exposure. These products help reduce the risk of photoageing, including fine lines, wrinkles, and dark spots, while also supporting your skin’s natural repair processes to minimize the impact of any existing sun damage.

Antioxidant

Antioxidant Protection shields your skin and preserves its youthful glow. It refers to a defence system that protects against harmful molecules and keeps your complexion healthy and radiant. Free radicals, those incredibly reactive molecules, come from everyday sources like sunlight, diet, smoking, and pollution. They attack healthy cells, accelerating skin ageing, causing wrinkles, loss of firmness, pigmentation, and dullness.

Incorporating antioxidants, such as vitamins C and E, into your skincare routine creates a protective shield on your skin. These powerful ingredients neutralise free radicals, preventing them from causing damage. The result is skin that stays youthful, firm, and luminous.

Repairing

Repairing your skin means restoring cells damaged by external factors like UV rays and free radicals, which can harm cell DNA and slow regeneration. Although our cells naturally repair themselves, this ability weakens over time due to ageing and repeated environmental exposure. Active ingredients can boost this natural process, preserving your skin's health, elasticity, and radiance. By supporting skin cell repair, these ingredients combat premature ageing and help maintain a firm, plump, and toned complexion.

Active Ingredients

Acmella Oleracea Extract

Acmella Oleracea Extract also known as GatulineÆ Expression AF is a natural, plant-derived Botox alternative. It contains Spilanthol, a natural compound that relaxes facial muscles, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It also supports natural collagen and elastin production by stimulating fibroblasts (the cells responsible for producing these proteins) leading to firmer and more elastic skin for long-term anti-ageing benefits.

Venn's Multi-Peptide Blend

Venn's Multi-Peptide Blend includes a variety of high-performance peptides, engineered to improve skin firmness and elasticity whilst plumping and diminishing fine lines & wrinkles.

Centella Asiatica

Centella Asiatica is a powerful antioxidant which has immense anti-inflammatory, soothing and wound-healing benefits. Rich in chlorophyll, it is also extremely proficient at reducing redness. Also known as "Tiger Grass" as tigers were known to roll in it after having been wounded.

Elagic Acid

Ellagic Acid is a naturally occurring polyphenol found in various fruits. Its antioxidant properties protect the skin against free radical and UV induced damage. In the studies, Ellagic acid has also been shown to inhibit enzymes that break down collagen in the skin, supporting skin firmness and elasticity. Moreover, it acts on melanocytes to prevent melanin (pigment) synthesis, helping to diminish dark spots, pigmentation and evens out the complexion.

Venn's CICA Complex

The Venn CICA Complex incorporates active extracts from Centella Asiatica, also known as CICA, a herb prized for its soothing, calming, and repairing properties in Korean and Japanese skincare. This blend includes compounds like Asiaticoside, Madecassoside, Asiatic Acid, Madecassic Acid, and Centella Asiatica Leaf Extract. Together, these ingredients accelerate skin repair, alleviate inflammation, and offer potent antioxidant protection against environmental aggressors.

Venn's Proprietary Probiotic & Prebiotic Blend

Venn's Proprietary Probiotic & Prebiotic Blend is designed to balance the skin's microbiome, playing a protective role against viruses, pathogens, and irritants. The key ingredients include:

Saccharomyces Ferment: A yeast ferment known for its unique properties, including promoting collagen production, smoothing wrinkles, brightening the skin, and supporting cellular repair.

Lactobacillus Ferment: A probiotic derived from the fermentation of Lactobacillus bacteria. It balances the skin microbiome, soothes the skin, and supports the skin's barrier repair.

Bacillus Ferment: Bacillus Ferment is a probiotic obtained by fermenting the bacteria Bacillus Subtilis bacteria. Bacillus Ferment supports the skin's microbiome by promoting the growth of beneficial bacteria, which enhances the skin's resilience against environmental stressors. It is also anti-microbial, reducing the overgrowth of pathogenic bacteria, maintaining a healthy and balanced complexion.

Galactomyces Ferment: A postbiotic produced during the fermentation of Japanese Rice Wine. It is widely used in Japan and Korea for its properties in minimising pores, balancing sebum production, reducing blemishes, and diminishing dark spots.
