Answer to Questions about Hyaluronic Acid and Repair Activator™

Hyaluronic Acid (HA)

In addition to its primary function of retaining moisture in the skin, Hyaluronic Acid also has other properties related to skin hydration and health.

• Filling Deep Wrinkles / Reducing Wrinkles: Most Hyaluronic Acid used in skincare products works by hydrating the skin, which helps the skin appear plumper. This can make fine lines caused by dehydration less visible. However, "filling deep wrinkles" in the sense of significantly lifting structural wrinkles typically requires HA in injectable form (known as fillers), which is different from topical application. Very small molecule (Nano Molecule) HA can penetrate deeper into the skin for internal hydration, while larger molecules help coat the surface and retain moisture on the outer layer. Some types, like 4D Hyaluronic Acid, combine multiple sizes for comprehensive hydration across all skin layers.
• Speeding up Wound Healing: While cosmetic HA doesn't directly heal wounds, maintaining good skin hydration supports the skin's natural regeneration and repair processes. Hydrated skin tends to recover better from minor abrasions or damage than dry skin.

In summary, applying topical Hyaluronic Acid primarily provides hydration, which secondarily helps reduce the appearance of fine wrinkles and supports overall skin health.

Repair Activator™

Repair Activator™, primarily containing Bifida Ferment Lysate, is known for its property of stimulating the DNA repair process in skin cells.

• Mechanism: This extract from Bifida Ferment Lysate helps enhance the skin cells' natural mechanisms for detecting and repairing DNA damage, particularly damage caused by UVA radiation from the sun.
• Effect on Skin Cells: Stimulating DNA repair is crucial for maintaining the health and resilience of skin cells. When DNA is damaged, cells may not function optimally, potentially leading to signs of aging like wrinkles and dark spots. By helping skin cells repair DNA more effectively, Repair Activator™ aids in the recovery of cells from within, leading to healthier, better-functioning skin cells. This contributes to overall stronger skin and helps reduce signs of aging. However, the provided information does not detail complex structural changes at a molecular level, focusing instead on the stimulation of the DNA repair process.

Therefore, Repair Activator™ is an ingredient focused on cellular-level skin care to combat signs of aging, especially those resulting from DNA damage.
