PREVAGE FACE FAQ's

PREVAGE BODY FAQ'S

What causes skin ageing?
Oxidation damage from sun and the environment is believed to be the number one cause of skin ageing. This damage affects collagen and elastin resulting in a loss of firmness and smoothness, the appearance of dark spots and discolourations, the formation of lines and wrinkles, and other ageing signs.

Why is PREVAGE® Face so effective?
PREVAGE® Face is a treatment that does it all. It contains Idebenone, a highly effective antioxidant in a new skin compatible ester delivery system, to help reduce the visible signs of ageing. PREVAGE® Face also helps to re-energize skin, which results in a firmer, less lined, smoother look. Tests show PREVAGE® Face helps to even skin tone, increase the look of firmness, reduce the appearance of lines, wrinkles, redness, minor scars and discolourations and brighten the look of skin.

What is new and different about the Idebenone technology in new PREVAGE® Face?
PREVAGE® Face delivers Idebenone through a new skin compatible ester delivery system, inspired by studies showing how the body effectively stores vitamins and molecules by attaching them to a lipid. PREVAGE® skincare researchers applied this research to the Idebenone molecule found in the new serum to help maintain a reserve of Idebenone to use when and where its needed most. This new “delivery system” allows for more efficient use of Idebenone and has been shown to be more to be gentle and effective even on those with sensitive skin.

How does the new antioxidant blend work with Idebenone?
The new PREVAGE® Face formula contains a blend of potent ingredients that can tackle the different types of free radicals to provide a higher level of environmental protection. The specific antioxidants – Thiotaine, Bamboo Isoflavones, Liprochroman 6 and Green Tea Blend – chosen to support idebenone in the new PREVAGE® Face formula work as the first line of antioxidant defense and “specialize” in neutralizing different types of free radical activity. This allows Idebenone to help prevent free radical activity and address the visible effects of existing damage.

In addition, Lys-lastine V complements Idebenone to help to maintain skin’s look of elasticity. The combination supports skin’s natural proteins, including elastin and collagen, to help skin look firmer, more toned and younger.

What results can you expect from PREVAGE® Face?
In addition to significantly reducing the appearance of lines, wrinkles, sun damage, age spots and giving skin a firmer look, PREVAGE® Face has also been shown to reduce the appearance of redness and minor scars. Long term use of the product along with an SPF will also result in less overall visible damage to the skin by environmental aggressors, as the skin is better equipped to protect itself from damaging free radical assaults.

Why is the eye area more vulnerable to ageing signs?
Because the skin around the eye area is very thin, it has more limited natural defenses against the outside world. It is the first place to show signs of sun and environmental damage: fine lines, crow’s feet, dark circles and puffiness.

How does PREVAGE® Eye address the needs of the eye area?
PREVAGE® Eye Anti-aging Moisturizing Treatment contains I-seryl Complex and Idebenone. It provides essential environmental protection and promotes a smoother, firmer, less lined appearance as it brightens and lifts the look of eyes.

Why is adequate sleep essential for healthy skin?
During the day, your skin uses its resources to fight environmental assaults. At night it uses the body's natural sleep cycle to repair and renew itself. Researchers believe your body needs at least 8 hours of sleep for optimum recovery. When this time is shortened, incomplete repair can lead to premature ageing signs like dryness, dullness, loss of firmness, fine lines and wrinkles.

How can PREVAGE® Anti-aging Night Cream compensate?
PREVAGE® Anti-aging Night Cream contains encapsulated and time released Idebenone, Mega Complex-A and high performance moisturizers. It infuses skin throughout the night to boost its anti-ageing abilities and help enhance skin's own natural repair process.

How is skin on the body different from skin on the face?
Skin on the body tends to be thicker with fewer sebaceous glands than the skin on the face. With age and environmental exposure, skin gets thinner and drier, age spots begin to show, and that young smooth texture can begin to look rough, leathery or crepy. As you get older, firmness decreases and skin starts to sag.

Back to Top

How does PREVAGE® Body address these special needs?
PREVAGE® Body contains Idebenone and Tripeptide Complex. Idebenone helps protect skin from environmental assaults and helps minimise the appearance of age spots and sun damage. Tripeptide Complex works with Idebenone to support skin’s natural levels of collagen, elastin and GAG's (moisture holding proteins) so skin looks firmer and more toned. It also addresses stretch marks and dimpled skin, an improvement confirmed in our consumer test.

What causes stretch marks and dimpled skin?
Stretch marks are the result of collagen and elastin fibers literally getting stretched from weight gain, typically during pregnancy. Dimpling of the skin – the result of fat distribution beneath the skin’s surface - affects 85% of women to some degree. Idebenone and Tripeptide Complex work together to help to support skin’s natural collagen levels to firm the look of skin, smoothing the appearance of stretch marks and dimpled skin.

How important is moisture for the skin on the body and what's special about the moisturizers in PREVAGE® body?
We tend to forget about the body, especially our hands and legs. Hands take a beating all day from constant washing and exposing them to harsh elements. During the winter our legs lose more moisture due to low humidity and become dry and flaky. If not taken care of the skin can crack and irritants can get into skin, accelerating the signs of ageing. To counter this, we have included Shea Butter, a moisture replenishing ingredient extracted from an African fruit, Glycerin and other effective emollients in PREVAGE® Body. This intensive hydration system creates an incredibly smooth finish as it attracts and binds moisture deep within the surface layers of the skin.

What are the test results for PREVAGE® Body?
In consumer tests PREVAGE® Body was shown to significantly reduce the appearance of age spots and discolourations, stretch marks, dimpled skin and minor scars. Consumers also reported that their skin felt remarkably smoother and softer and had a brighter look.
