Kvitok Facial Serum - Astaxanthin (10 ml) - protects against external influences

Product description Kvitok Facial Serum - Astaxanthin (10 ml) - protects against external influences

The main protagonist of this serum is the strong antioxidant astaxanthin from microalgae, which is even more effective than vitamin E. It helps block UV radiation and thus protects the skin against premature aging and pigmentation formation. It also supports collagen production, improving skin elasticity and smoothing fine lines. Accompanied by olive squalane, it helps restore the skin's protective film and protects it from hydration loss. Thanks to it, the serum is easily absorbed, leaves a matte finish, and is suitable for all skin types, especially mature and sensitive skin.

The serum combines the benefits of astaxanthin and the base oil – olive squalane. Astaxanthin is a natural carotenoid obtained from microscopic algae. It has a red color, which is why the serum is also tinted red. It is a strong antioxidant (more effective than vitamin E), which protects the skin from oxidative stress.

Oxidative stress plays a crucial role in human skin aging and skin damage. The mechanisms of internal (chronological) and external (photo) aging mainly involve the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) through oxidative metabolism and ultraviolet (UV) light. The formation of ROS is thus a key mechanism leading to skin aging. "Oxidative aging" involves DNA damage, inflammatory reactions, reduced antioxidant production, and the formation of matrix metalloproteinases (MMP), which degrade collagen and elastin in the dermis.

Unlike other antioxidants that work exclusively in the internal (beta-carotene and vitamin E) or external (vitamin C) membrane, astaxanthin allows for the elimination of free radicals from both outside and inside the cell. It has thus found use not only as a dietary supplement but also as a valuable component of cosmetic products.

It also has the ability to block UV radiation, thus protecting the skin from damage caused by sunlight, premature aging, and pigmentation formation. It helps stimulate collagen production, improve skin elasticity, and smooth fine lines. Clinical studies have shown that astaxanthin increases skin moisture (hydration), moisture retention (prevents transepidermal water loss), skin elasticity, and eliminates fine lines.

Olive squalane, which carries astaxanthin, helps restore the skin's protective film, protects it from hydration loss, is easily absorbed, and is very stable against oxidation. It helps stimulate the renewal of skin cells, is hypoallergenic, and ideal for people with sensitive skin, as well as skin prone to allergies. It is very compatible with the skin's natural protective film, and its strong antioxidant properties protect the skin and minimize wrinkle formation. Unlike olive oil, the comedogenicity of squalane is at a minimal level, it does not clog pores, so it is suitable for problematic skin. It is easily absorbed and leaves a velvety feeling on the skin.

Usage:

On cleansed, toned, and slightly damp skin, apply 2-3 drops of facial serum and massage into the skin (face, neck, and décolleté area). Always apply a facial cream according to your skin type after absorption.
