Dermalogica AGE smart - The intelligent investment in your future skinRather than focus solely on the manifestations of skin aging such as wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, loss of elasticity etc. These products help to minimize the appearance of wrinkles, but no wrinkle is completely curable. A better approach would be to treat skin aging at the source by addressing the actual biochemical reactions that trigger these changes in the skin This skin care range is designed to help control the biological triggers that lead to visible signs of skin aging How does AGE smart work? Helps to stop the formation of free radicals, the generation of matrix metalloproteinase’s (MMPs) and the development of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) Free radicals are dangerous forms of oxygen molecules generated by UVrays and pollution. They attack and react with stable molecules with in skin cells .this cause non-reversible damage to the cell, cross links collagen and elastin (the cause of wrinkles and lessens the skins Natural ability to repair itself) To defend itself against the free radical dermogical new AGE smart range include antioxidants white tea ,liquorice vitamin E and a highly stable ,non irritating form of vitamin C MATRIX METALLOPROTEINSASES (MMPs) ....they are enzymes activated by UV exposure or inflammation. They contribute to the breakdown of existing collagen while inhibiting the formation of new collagen .long term activation of MMPs results in disorganisation and destruction of the skin matrix (support) To control the formation of MMPs ,AGE smart products includes peptides ,vitamin a and plant extracts ADVANCED GLYCATION END-PRODUCTS (AGEs)... the same glucose (sugar) that provides energy for our cells can also react with proteins ,including the skins collagen. The reaction results in the formation of AGEs which contribute to cross –linking of collagen protein fibre with cause wrinkles, inflammation, inhibited skin cell growth and accelerate aging To control the formation of AGEs ,AGE smart contain soy proteins that act as sugar traps so to prevent sugar from reacting with collagen(protein in our skin Expanding on Dermalogica's AGE Smart works by impacting the main biochemical reactions that manifest the signs of skin aging: - the formation of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS, also known as free radicals)
- the generation of Matrix Metalloproteinases (MMPs)
- the development of Advanced Glycation End-products (AGEs).
reactive oxygen species  Reactive Oxygen Species are dangerous forms of oxygen molecules generated by UV rays and pollution. They attack and react with stable molecules within skin cells. This causes non-reversible damage to the cell, cross-links collagen and elastin (the cause of wrinkles) and lessens skin’s natural ability to repair itself. To defend against ROS:AGE Smart products include antioxidants, including polyphenols from White Tea, Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate (MAP – a highly stable, non-irritating form of Vitamin C), Dipotasium Glycyrrhizate (Licorice) and Tocopheryl (Vitamin E) that work to inactivate, or quench, free radicals and create stable molecules, preventing damage to the cell.
advanced glycation end-products
The same glucose (sugar) that provides energy for our cells can also react with proteins, including the skin’s collagen. This reaction results in the formation of Advanced Glycation End-products, which contribute to cross-linking of collagen protein fibers (which causes wrinkles), inflammation, inhibited skin cell growth and accelerated aging. To control the formation of AGEs: AGE Smart products include “sugar traps”: Soy proteins, Glucosamine and specific peptides intercept the sugar, bind to it and prevent sugar from reacting with collagen protein in our skin.
matrix metalloproteinases
Matrix Metalloproteinases are enzymes activated by UV exposure or inflammation. They contribute to the breakdown of existing collagen while inhibiting the formation of new collagen. Long term activation of MMPs results in disorganization and destruction of the skin matrix – two key characteristics of photoaged skin.
To control the formation of MMPs:
AGE Smart products include peptides, MAP, Retinyl Palmitate (Vitamin A) and powerful plant extracts to inhibit the formation of MMPs.
