- Prevents glycation (a process when excessive sugar breaks down collagen)

- Reverses skin damage caused by the environment

- Increases antioxidant and protects skin against Advanced Glycation End Products (AGEs)

- Preserves the skin’s collagen bank

- Reduces wrinkles and fine lines

- Delays ageing and future-proofs the skin 

Benfotiamine: A form of vitamin B1 that helps to regulate sugar metabolism and reduce the formation of Advanced Glycation End Products (AGEs) which prematurely breaks down collagen

SurviCode (Sodium Cocoyl Alaninate): Protects epidermal stem cells, visibly reduces wrinkles and promotes skin resilience by boosting cellular longevity and intercellular communication

Osmanthus Fragrans Flower Extract (DermalRx® LuShield™): Stimulates cellular detoxification, reduces Advanced Glycation End-products (AGEs) accumulation, combats Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) to prevent free-radical damage and inhibit the effects on enzymes that prematurely ages skin

Palmitoyl Tripeptide-38 (Matrixyl® Synthe 6™): Stimulates production of collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid, with a proven lifting effect and reduces the depth of wrinkles over time

Alistin (Decarboxycarnosine): A potent antiglycation and antioxidant compound that helps protect skin cells from sugar-induced damage 

Alpaflor ABI Complex AO: Provides potent antioxidant properties, DNA-protecting, and skin-repairing benefits, especially for irritated or sensitive skin

Vitamin E (Toxopherol): Fat-soluble antioxidant for wound healing

Recommended in the evening. Dispense a pea-sized amount and massage into the face and neck after cleanser and serum.

What is glycation and how does it affect the skin?

Skin glycation is a natural biochemical process where excess sugar molecules in your bloodstream are bonded to the skin proteins like collagen and elastin. This reaction creates harmful molecules called Advanced Glycation End Products (AGEs), they eventually break down the skin’s structural integrity and accelerate ageing.

 

Is it safe for sensitive skin?

Yes, it is generally safe for people with sensitive skin because it does not contain any irritating or harsh actives. The formula also includes many soothing ingredients. 

 

Can someone with oily and acne-prone skin use it?

It is generally suitable for people with all skin types including oily and acne-prone skin type as it is formulated with ingredients that have a lower risk of clogging pores.

 

Will I still need to use moisturiser after it?

It is layered after serums and used as the last step of the skincare, therefore, there is no need to use another moisturiser after.

 

Is it recommended in the morning or evening?

It can be used both morning and evening, however it is especially recommended if you are looking for a moisturiser that hydrates without clogging the skin in the evening. 

 

How is the Glyco-Guard Balancing Lotion different from the Cyto-Comm Revitalising Serum?

Both of them enhance cellular communication and fight against glycation for increased rejuvenation while preserving collagen and elastin, however, the ingredients and formulations are very different.

The Glyco-Guard Balancing Lotion has more moisturising properties to reduce dryness while the Cyto-Comm Revitalising Serum is more lightweight to hydrate dehydrated skin.  

 

Can the Glyco-Guard Balancing Lotion and Cyto-Comm Revitalising Serum be used in the same routine?

Both products are great on its own when used separately, but they do complement each other when used together as the Cyto-Comm Revitalising Serum helps to kickstart cellular communication to rejuvenate while the Glyco-Guard Balancing Lotion preserves the skin’s collagen and elastin from degrading.
