As you experience menopause, your skin undergoes significant changes that may (usually) require a shift in your skincare products and routine. It's essential to focus on products that offer not just promises but proven results. This guide will give you some more info on some of the hero ingredients in our skincare line that are specifically beneficial for menopausal skin, explaining their science-backed benefits and why they're effective. They are the teeny tiny superheroes in each bottle, jar and tube.

Introducing Our Hero 🦸🏻‍♀️ Ingredients

We’ve carefully selected each ingredient for its specific benefits to menopausal skin:

• Matrixyl 3000®: This peptide is a frontrunner in anti-ageing research, known for its ability to significantly increase collagen synthesis. Collagen is crucial for maintaining skin elasticity and firmness, which decreases during menopause.

• Marimoist: Acting as a hydration binder, Marimoist creates a film on the skin that helps to lock in moisture and smooth out texture. It’s particularly beneficial for skin that may have become dryer or more sensitive during menopause.

• Argireline® Amplified Peptide: This advanced peptide helps reduce the depth of wrinkles caused by facial movements, such as smiling or frowning. Its action is similar to that of injections but is entirely non-invasive.

• Hyaluronic Acid: Known for its incredible ability to retain moisture, hyaluronic acid is crucial for maintaining skin’s hydration levels, making it look and feel plumper, fresher, and more vibrant.

• Squalane: This naturally occurring lipid mimics your skin’s natural oils, providing superior hydration and barrier protection without clogging pores or feeling heavy—a significant benefit for ageing skin, which may struggle with moisture retention.

• Niacinamide: This vitamin works to improve the skin’s barrier function, reduce redness and blotchiness, and fade age spots. It’s excellent for improving overall skin texture and tone.

• Betaine: Derived from sugar beets, this ingredient helps maintain cellular water balance, protecting cells from environmental stressors and giving the skin a smoother, more youthful appearance.

• Panthenol: Known for its skin healing properties, panthenol attracts moisture to the skin and holds water in the skin tissues. It soothes, softens, and improves the skin's elasticity.

Importance of High Levels of Active Ingredients

While many products claim to contain these ingredients, the effectiveness greatly depends on their concentration. High levels of active ingredients ensure that your skin receives enough of these beneficial compounds to see real changes. Our formulations prioritize these optimal concentrations, delivering on both promise and performance, rather than relying on mere marketing claims.

Benefits for Menopausal Skin

Integrating these hero ingredients into your skincare routine can significantly benefit menopausal skin by:

• Enhancing elasticity and firmness: Ingredients like Matrixyl 3000® stimulate collagen production which is vital for maintaining skin’s elasticity.

• Boosting hydration: Hyaluronic Acid and Squalane are exceptional for increasing moisture levels in the skin, crucial during menopause when dryness can become more prevalent.

• Reducing the appearance of wrinkles: With the help of Argireline® and Panthenol, the skin can achieve a smoother, more youthful appearance by softening the look of fine lines.

• Improving skin texture and tone: Regular use of Niacinamide and Betaine can dramatically enhance the skin's overall texture and reduce pigmentation issues.
