Actizyme advanced botanical ingredient from Lipotec is a fungi-derived protease that mimics the activity of endogenous cathepsin D to improve cell renewal specifically in the skin surface, without irritation and barrier damage.
A recent clinical study has demonstrated the ability of this botanical ingredient to enhance clarity and luminosity of the skin thanks to the effective and safe desquamation that it offers.
The new in vivo was performed on 21 Indian volunteers between 19 and 46 years old with skin phototype (Fitzpatrick) IV that applied a cream containing 2% ingredient on half face and a placebo cream on the other half, twice a day for 30 days. Luminance and the individual typological angle were measured by means of a spectrophotometer and high-resolution images were also obtained. At the end of the treatment a brighter skin tone was observed, as well as a visible lightening effect.
On the self-evaluation questionnaire, 100% of volunteers perceived a noticeable clearer skin complexion and a more luminous face.
