Lipotec has recently launched Vanistryl, a combination of several active ingredients incorporated in a new delivery system that treats stretch marks already formed and also prevents the appearance of new ones.
This active ingredient tackles effectively the different mechanisms involved in the stretch marks formation. It protects connective tissue from degradation, helps to reconstruct Extracellular Matrix Components (ECMs), reduces tension in the dermis, and, due to its healing properties, helps to regenerate the dermal components thus giving the integrity and elasticity that skin needs to recover.
The ingredients of the complex are encapsulated into a mixed micellar system which is reconstituted into liposomes by water dilution in the stratum corneum, improving the penetration of these actives.
Vanistryl can be used in formulations such as emulsions, creams or gels where attenuation of stretch marks is desired. It is also suitable for preventive treatments.
