The best methods do not involve creams that temporally plump out lines or creams that temporarily tighten the skin. In fact long term use of these creams may be detrimental. The best way to keep your skin looking young is to moisturise using creams high in anti-oxidants, maintain a healthy lifestyle without smoking, and to minimize sun exposure to healthy levels.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"box-collateral box-description\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"std\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe believe moist, supple skin that is supplied with lots of anti-oxidants is much healthier than skin subjected to acids, temporary plumping agents and chemical line fillers. Our anti-ageing cream is designed to provide healthy ingredients to maintain youthful skin, not short term miracles that might cause damage longer term.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur Anti-Ageing Cream takes a two step approach to anti-ageing:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProvide the Oil Balance of Young Skin. Moist and supple skin resists forming lines. The main base of the cream is made from Olive Squalene. Squalene is one of the major components of the skin's own oil (sebum). After our early 20's, or skin starts producing less Squalene. Our Anti-Ageing Cream \"tops\" up the skin's Squalene to maintain the oil balance of young skin. This helps resists lines forming.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupply Anti-Oxidants to the Skin. Many would ask 'Why the fuss about anti-oxidants\"?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne part of ageing is caused by \"free radical damage\". Free radicals are molecules that have become short of an electron. To become stable, free radicals seek out other molecules and can take an electron from them. This can cause cell damage leading to skin ageing, amongst other things. Supplying anti-oxidants to the skin helps mop up these freed radicals. The difficult part is to ensure that the ingredients get deep enough to function.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe star anti-oxidants for this cream are Resveratrol and Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate, both included at the maximum suggested percentage by the supplier. Each are some of most effective and expensive anti-ageing actives available. It is especially effective at preventing and reversing sun damage and results should be seen over the course of a month.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe cannot say too much here, so we encourage everyone to look at the peer-reviewed studies being done on Resveratrol and its protective effects. You can find these studies do by going to www.scholar.google.com and searching under \"Resveratrol Skin\". This way you have access to the latest science journal information, not the cosmetic companies hype. It can be difficult to understand, but basically it is an important new development for skin that has had sun exposure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe use the highest quality micronised Resveratrol of 1um size for best absorption and almost 100% purity. We developed (after 6 months of failures) a unique system of ensuring that the concentration we needed stayed stable in the cream. The difficulty of this ingredient is that in good concentrations it tends to make creams unstable. Rather than reduce the concentration, we changed the way we incorporate it within the cream so that we have probably a higher concentration of Resveratrol than any other cream. You will notice this new cream a little thicker as Resveratrol arrives as a very fine powder.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrice. The ingredients for this cream are amoung the most expensive ingredients of any anti-ageing product sold at any price. We have seen creams with similiar quality ingredients retail for more than $250. This is because few consumers are cosmetic chemists, and so are not aware of what makes a good anti-ageing product, and must rely on price and advertising as the only indicator. If you have time to do some research, we believe you will find this to be one of the best possible anti-ageing formulas available, and without the chemicals normally used to fragrance, preserve and add a pleasant skin feel (silicone) in most commercial creams.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you currently use anti-ageing treatments such as Alpha Hydroxy Acid, we strongly suggest not using any skin product in combination with these ingredients due to possible reactions with their acids, or contact the manufacturer of your product for more guidance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIngredients:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"quicklist\"\u003e\u003cspan onclick=\"scrollslide('ing1')\"\u003eAqua\u003c\/span\u003e, \u003cspan onclick=\"scrollslide('ing2')\"\u003eSqualene (Olive)\u003c\/span\u003e, \u003cspan onclick=\"scrollslide('ing3')\"\u003eAloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice (Aloe Vera)\u003c\/span\u003e, \u003cspan onclick=\"scrollslide('ing4')\"\u003eCetearyl Alcohol (Plant Based Emulsifying Wax)\u003c\/span\u003e, \u003cspan onclick=\"scrollslide('ing5')\"\u003ePrunus Armeniaca (Apricot) Kernel Oil\u003c\/span\u003e,\u003cspan onclick=\"scrollslide('ing6')\"\u003eOryza Sativa (Rice) Bran Oil\u003c\/span\u003e, \u003cspan onclick=\"scrollslide('ing7')\"\u003eVitis Vinifera (Grape) Seed Oil\u003c\/span\u003e, \u003cspan onclick=\"scrollslide('ing8')\"\u003eDimethyl Sulfone (MSM Organic Sulfur)\u003c\/span\u003e, \u003cspan onclick=\"scrollslide('ing10')\"\u003eHydrolyzed Milk Protein (Casein)\u003c\/span\u003e, \u003cspan onclick=\"scrollslide('ing11')\"\u003eAllantoin\u003c\/span\u003e,\u003cspan onclick=\"scrollslide('ing12')\"\u003eAscorbyl Tetraisopalmitate (Stabilized Vitamin C)\u003c\/span\u003e, \u003cspan onclick=\"scrollslide('ing13')\"\u003eResveratrol (Japanese Knotweed Extract)\u003c\/span\u003e, \u003cspan onclick=\"scrollslide('ing14')\"\u003ePiroctone Olamine\u003c\/span\u003e, \u003cspan onclick=\"scrollslide('ing15')\"\u003ePolysorbate 60 (Food Grade Emulsifier)\u003c\/span\u003e, \u003cspan onclick=\"scrollslide('ing16')\"\u003eTocopherol (Natural Vitamin E)\u003c\/span\u003e, \u003cspan onclick=\"scrollslide('ing17')\"\u003eVanilla Planifolia Bean Extract\u003c\/span\u003e, \u003cspan onclick=\"scrollslide('ing18')\"\u003ePyrus Malus (Apple) Extract\u003c\/span\u003e, \u003cspan onclick=\"scrollslide('ing20')\"\u003ePyrus Communis (Pear) Extract\u003c\/span\u003e, \u003cspan onclick=\"scrollslide('ing19')\"\u003eHumulus Lupulus (Hop) Extract\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"ing\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIngredient\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDescription\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"topic\"\u003e\u003cspan id=\"ing1\"\u003eAqua\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWhen we were told that we have to call our purified water Aqua we thought they were kidding.

Free radicals are molecules that have become short of an electron. To become stable, free radicals seek out other molecules and can take an electron from them. This can cause cell damage leading to skin ageing, amongst other things. Supplying anti-oxidants to the skin helps mop up these freed radicals. The difficult part is to ensure that the ingredients get deep enough to function.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe star anti-oxidants for this cream are Resveratrol and Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate, both included at the maximum suggested percentage by the supplier. Each are some of most effective and expensive anti-ageing actives available. It is especially effective at preventing and reversing sun damage and results should be seen over the course of a month.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe cannot say too much here, so we encourage everyone to look at the peer-reviewed studies being done on Resveratrol and its protective effects. You can find these studies do by going to www.scholar.google.com and searching under \"Resveratrol Skin\". This way you have access to the latest science journal information, not the cosmetic companies hype. It can be difficult to understand, but basically it is an important new development for skin that has had sun exposure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe use the highest quality micronised Resveratrol of 1um size for best absorption and almost 100% purity. We developed (after 6 months of failures) a unique system of ensuring that the concentration we needed stayed stable in the cream. The difficulty of this ingredient is that in good concentrations it tends to make creams unstable. Rather than reduce the concentration, we changed the way we incorporate it within the cream so that we have probably a higher concentration of Resveratrol than any other cream. You will notice this new cream a little thicker as Resveratrol arrives as a very fine powder.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrice. The ingredients for this cream are amoung the most expensive ingredients of any anti-ageing product sold at any price. We have seen creams with similiar quality ingredients retail for more than $250. This is because few consumers are cosmetic chemists, and so are not aware of what makes a good anti-ageing product, and must rely on price and advertising as the only indicator. If you have time to do some research, we believe you will find this to be one of the best possible anti-ageing formulas available, and without the chemicals normally used to fragrance, preserve and add a pleasant skin feel (silicone) in most commercial creams.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you currently use anti-ageing treatments such as Alpha Hydroxy Acid, we strongly suggest not using any skin product in combination with these ingredients due to possible reactions with their acids, or contact the manufacturer of your product for more guidance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIngredients:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"quicklist\"\u003e\u003cspan onclick=\"scrollslide('ing1')\"\u003eAqua\u003c\/span\u003e, \u003cspan onclick=\"scrollslide('ing2')\"\u003eSqualene (Olive)\u003c\/span\u003e, \u003cspan onclick=\"scrollslide('ing3')\"\u003eAloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice (Aloe Vera)\u003c\/span\u003e, \u003cspan onclick=\"scrollslide('ing4')\"\u003eCetearyl Alcohol (Plant Based Emulsifying Wax)\u003c\/span\u003e, \u003cspan onclick=\"scrollslide('ing5')\"\u003ePrunus Armeniaca (Apricot) Kernel Oil\u003c\/span\u003e,\u003cspan onclick=\"scrollslide('ing6')\"\u003eOryza Sativa (Rice) Bran Oil\u003c\/span\u003e, \u003cspan onclick=\"scrollslide('ing7')\"\u003eVitis Vinifera (Grape) Seed Oil\u003c\/span\u003e, \u003cspan onclick=\"scrollslide('ing8')\"\u003eDimethyl Sulfone (MSM Organic Sulfur)\u003c\/span\u003e, \u003cspan onclick=\"scrollslide('ing10')\"\u003eHydrolyzed Milk Protein (Casein)\u003c\/span\u003e, \u003cspan onclick=\"scrollslide('ing11')\"\u003eAllantoin\u003c\/span\u003e,\u003cspan onclick=\"scrollslide('ing12')\"\u003eAscorbyl Tetraisopalmitate (Stabilized Vitamin C)\u003c\/span\u003e, \u003cspan onclick=\"scrollslide('ing13')\"\u003eResveratrol (Japanese Knotweed Extract)\u003c\/span\u003e, \u003cspan onclick=\"scrollslide('ing14')\"\u003ePiroctone Olamine\u003c\/span\u003e, \u003cspan onclick=\"scrollslide('ing15')\"\u003ePolysorbate 60 (Food Grade Emulsifier)\u003c\/span\u003e, \u003cspan onclick=\"scrollslide('ing16')\"\u003eTocopherol (Natural Vitamin E)\u003c\/span\u003e, \u003cspan onclick=\"scrollslide('ing17')\"\u003eVanilla Planifolia Bean Extract\u003c\/span\u003e, \u003cspan onclick=\"scrollslide('ing18')\"\u003ePyrus Malus (Apple) Extract\u003c\/span\u003e, \u003cspan onclick=\"scrollslide('ing20')\"\u003ePyrus Communis (Pear) Extract\u003c\/span\u003e, \u003cspan onclick=\"scrollslide('ing19')\"\u003eHumulus Lupulus (Hop) Extract\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"ing\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIngredient\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDescription\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"topic\"\u003e\u003cspan id=\"ing1\"\u003eAqua\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWhen we were told that we have to call our purified water Aqua we thought they were kidding.
