DNA Defence Serum 30 ml

Most creams work on the surface. The damage that ages skin builds up inside the cells, and after fifty the skin’s own clean-up slows down. DNA Defence is built around ALGAKTIV® Vitalys™, a microalgae active that supports the skin’s own repair systems. Think of a night-shift cleaner who comes in after everyone has gone home.

In its study on women aged 50 to 65, crow’s-feet wrinkle depth measurably changed within seven days, and after four weeks the skin around the eyes looked about four years younger on average (placebo 1.8 years). Use it twice a day, every day, and the results will follow.

It is a warm, milky serum in a blue glass bottle. The serum itself is a soft rooibos brown: that is the South African rooibos extract, and it is meant to look like that.

WHAT THE STUDY MEASURED

•    Crow’s-feet wrinkle depth down 10.5% in just 7 days and 13.7% at 28 days (placebo −3.7% and −6.1%)
•    Firmer skin in all 21 women at 28 days (firmness −9.6% vs placebo −5.3%)
•    Smoother skin: roughness −9.9% at 28 days (placebo −3.3%)
•    Eye-area skin looked about 4 years younger after 28 days (placebo 1.8 years)
•    At 2%, the level in this serum: firmness up 17.7%, elasticity up 10.9% and moisture up 10.5% in 28 days (ALGAKTIV study, 10 women)

HOW VITALYS™ WORKS ON THE SIGNS OF AGEING

LAB = skin cells or test tube. CLINICAL = women using it, against placebo.

•    Tired skin: helps stressed skin cells keep their own antioxidant defence and raises NAD⁺, the cell’s renewal fuel, by about a third [LAB]. Radiance +29.9% (placebo +18.4%) [CLINICAL]
•    Lines and wrinkles: helps skin cells clear DNA damage faster [LAB]. Crow’s feet −10.5% in 7 days and −13.7% at 28 days (placebo −3.7% and −6.1%) [CLINICAL]
•    Loss of firmness: helps skin cells make more collagen (type I +22%, type III +12%) [LAB]. Firmer in 21 of 21 women [CLINICAL]
•    Rough texture: supports renewal. Smoother skin −9.9% (placebo −3.3%) [CLINICAL]
•    Dark spots and uneven tone: helps pigment cells make less melanin (−33%) [LAB]. Dark spots lighter +17.5% (placebo +8.3%); more even tone +11.6% (placebo +5.3%) [CLINICAL]
•    Jawline and neck: less jawline sagging in both studies; neck firmer −7.6% (placebo −1.6%) at day 14, in a small group [CLINICAL]

KEY INGREDIENTS

•    ALGAKTIV® Vitalys™ 2%: a microalgae active that supports the skin’s own repair
•    RooiVive™: South African rooibos extract
