One of my must have skincare products comes from a brand
that I have come to trust and very much love.
It is a luxury, expensive brand that creates products that
really work and I can honestly say are worth every single penny.
Zelens Power A High Potency Vitamin A Treatment Drops are my
skins saviour.
Used nightly as an all-over treatment or to target specific
areas, this oil contains a powerful combination of pure, encapsulated retinol
and two retinoids to promote skin renewal, improve skin tone and texture and
does so with minimal or no irritation so often associated with the use of retinoids.
This wonder oil can help to reduce the appearance of fine
lines, wrinkles and dark spots as well as help to clear blemishes and minimise
the look of enlarged pores. It really is a multi functional, miracle little
product.
You’ve only got to the look at the impressive list of
ingredients to realise that it is jam packed full of a huge range of skin
loving, nourishing and beautifying ingredients.
Retinol: Zelens uses
encapsulated, time-released retinol which stimulates cellular turnover minimal
or no irritation. Visibly retexturize skin surface, restores skin thickness and
help reverse signs of aging.
Retinoids: Zelens uses
two cosmetic grades retinoids: Hydroxypinacolone retinoate and Retinyl
palmitate. Hydroxypinacolone retinoate is an ester of all-trans retinoic acid.
This retinoid demonstrates activities of pure retinol without irritation. Retinyl
palmitate is an ester of retinol and palmitic acid. This retinoid facilitates cell
communication and enhances skin renewal process.
Phospholipids: Major
building components in the structure of any cellular membrane essential for all
vital physiological processes. These natural skin-identical ingredients
demonstrate moisturising, restructuring and protective properties.
Sterol complex: A blend
of vegetable-derived esters structurally similar to skin lipids. Demonstrates
moisturising, conditioning and repairing properties. Reinforces skin barrier
function.
Soybean sterols:
Phytosterols derived from soybeans are lipid molecules with strong biomimetic
and soothing properties. Structurally similar to skin natural lipids, these
sterols moisturise skin, reduce water loss and strengthen natural barrier
function.
Glycolipids: Lipid
molecules analogous to the intercellular lipids of stratum corneum (SC)
demonstrate structuring, repairing and protective properties. Strengthen the
barrier function and hydro-retaining capacity of skin.
Omega-3 and Omega-6:
Essential fatty acids derived from safflower oil. Help restore and maintain
lipid barrier function and balance the moisture of the skin. Omega acids act as
skin protectors and revitalisers.
Proprietary botanical blend:
This unique botanical blend contains 6 fruit and vegetable extracts (pumpkin,
carrot, broccoli, sweet potato, tomato and spinach) rich in Vitamin A
(carotenoids).
Vitamin E: An antioxidant
with a key role in the protection of cellular membranes from free radicals. It
is the major antioxidant in the human epidermis with strong protective -
effects against UV-induced skin damage.
Geranium oil: An
essential oil extracted from the plant Rose geranium. This oil possesses
antioxidant and antiseptic properties. It helps to balance the secretion of
sebum and clear oily skins. Traditionally it has been used for years to help
healing of wounds, burns and ulcers.
The oil itself is light in texture and possesses a fresh,
pleasant and relaxing aroma.
Designed for use on cleansed skin prior to a serum or
moisturiser, I use around 3-4 drops and gently massage it all over my face,
concentrating on particularly troublesome areas.
The skin around my nose is often dry and flaky and my chin is
frequently oily and regularly features hormonal spots, yet this concentrated
oil somehow manages to soothe and rectify both areas.
Seriously! It soothes and nourishes my dry skin patches and
yet also helps to clear my problem skin.
When my skin is bad I can notice a huge difference come the
morning after just one application of this oil. My skintone is more even,
redness has been reduced and my skin actually feels healthier.
I am completely in love with this product and love that it
helps with two of my biggest skin concerns; ageing and acne and its gentle
enough for even my sensitive skin.
