Lack of light, stress or ageing cause our internal biological clock to become desynchronised, which affects skin directly, resulting in dryness, dullness and deep wrinkles.
Therefore, luminotherapy is recommended and recognised for regulating our biological clocks and ensuring skin homeostasis. After in vitro and in vivo modelling of the impact of luminotherapy on cells and skin, Silab have announced Circagenyl, an anti-ageing synchronising active ingredient. Through its luminotherapy-like effect, Circagenyl restores expression of the CLOCK circadian gene, stimulates dermal metabolism, and potentiates the benefits provided by luminotherapy. When used as an alternative or in combination with luminotherapy, Circagenyl revitalises tired skin giving it a more youthful look, thanks to its targeted chronobiology action. The ingredient restores radiance, smoothes the microrelief and can be integrated in all anti-ageing treatments.
