October is a transitional month in which things usually go much faster. It marks the changing of the seasons, and in most parts of the world, the transition from holidays to daily routine – sometimes it can feel a little hard to just get by.
We show you three of the trendiest and most effective ingredients that will help you to start autumn with a healthy and glowing skin.
NIACINAMIDE:
Niacinamide is one form of vitamin B3 that can be found naturally in many foods including yeast, fish, and meat.
In cosmetics, it is used to improve the overall health of the skin, reduce redness and to fight fine lines, wrinkles, and uneven skin tone. Niacinamide improves skin texture, minimises pores, hydrates the skin, and fights free radical activity. It helps rebuild the lipids in the skin surface, creating a defensive moisture barrier.
Some of md:ceuticals treatments that are formulated with niacinamide are:
- md:complex Couper:off: this has been designed to restore the functional integrity of the skin´s barrier, reduce facial redness, diminish inflammation, strengthen the skin´s own immune system and suppress the formation or activity of reactive oxygen species (ROS). It restores the skin´s balance by limiting the dilation of blood vessels and inflammation, reducing skin sensitivity, and offsetting dryness.
- md:cocktail SkinBooster Anti-Pollution Defence: strengthens and restores skin barrier integrity and stratum corneum cohesion, protecting skin cells from the penetration of pollutants and leads to skin that is more resistant to environmental stressors. Enhancing cell regeneration and the skin´s natural healing processes, it renders the skin firm, tight and revitalised, and allows for the rapid recovery of the luminosity, hydration, smoothness and firmness that is lost over time from the continuous exposure to environmental stressors. It also gives protection from the negative effects of exposure to blue light, both from sunlight and the screens of digital devices, which promotes premature skin ageing.
- X:treme Skin Renewal: thanks to its innovative formulation with antioxidant, moisturising and restructuring active principles, it provides an important ultra repairing power that reactivates cellular activity and restores lipids from the hydro lipidic mantle, giving high levels of hydration, nourishment, and firmness.
HYALURONIC ACID:
Hyaluronic Acid is a natural component of skin tissue with the unique ability to retain 1000 times its weight in water. This feature allows Hyaluronic Acid to provide the cells with a deep hydrating and lubricating activity, promoting a plumping effect. It restructures collagen fibres, increasing skin elasticity while eliminating wrinkles.
Here are some of md:ceuticals’ treatments formulated with hyaluronic acid:
- md:complex NCT-Hyal Revitalizing: combines the properties of Hyaluronic acid with the application of essential micronutrients, amino acids, vitamins, co enzymes, minerals and nucleic acids. These revitalise and deeply moisturise tired and dull skins which lack glow, luminosity, tone and elasticity, restoring the skin’s youthful appearance and revealing a radiant and smooth complexion.
- md:complex GenX Mimetic Peptides & Growth Factors: works as an excellent booster to enhance the results of other professional treatments, providing additional anti-age, antioxidant, firming, regenerating, moisturising, revitalising and whitening benefits, improving the therapeutic effect. It combines various types of Hyaluronic acid with different molecular weights to act in the different layers of the skin, providing a hydrating and plumping effect.
RETINOL:
Retinol is a gold standard ingredient to treat all manifestations of photo-aged skin. With powerful antioxidant and regenerating properties, it enhances collagen and elastin production, reduces the depth of wrinkles and scars, and provides high levels of hydration, soothing the skin texture. Retinol promotes a clear skin complexion, free of imperfections.
Retinol blocks the different stages involved in the melanogenesis process, impeding melanin formation and the appearance of skin hyperpigmentation. It accelerates epidermal renewal, removing previously formed blemishes and leading to a bright, smooth and even tone.
Furthermore, retinol might be one of your best friends if you are suffering from acne or even acne related scars. It helps prevent the clogging of pores and thus, the swelling and inflammation that comes with them.
There are some of md:ceuticals’ treatments formulated with retinol:
- md:Tranex Retipeel: provides an unique formulation combining Tranexamic acid and Retinol with the most powerful anti-ageing and depigmentation active principles (Retinyl propionate + Ascorbyl Glucoside + Niacinamide + Citric acid + Tartaric acid + Chamomilla recutita flower extract + Willow herb + Bacillus Ferment) to remove all kinds of melanic hyperpigmentation and effectively treat severe photoageing, acne scars and stretch marks.
- md:peel IntimateWhite: is a non-invasive peel specifically designed to rejuvenate the sensitive intimate areas, helping patients to feel comfortable in their own skin. It provides the genital area with a visible whitening and lifting effect, helping the skin to recover its natural colour, brightness, healthy texture, and tone. It helps regenerate and soothe skin that has been weakened and damaged by the actions of different environmental stressors, supporting permanent repair.
So, there you are, three ingredients that everyone will be talking about this season. Don’t hesitate, book a session with your dermatologist to figure out which of our products is best for you.
