Actives; Our Top Ten Anti-Aging Cosmeceuticals

The pharmaceutical grade actives used by Luzern were chosen for their ability to work synergistically and exponentially with one another by increasing cellular energy and preserving healthy cell function.

Oxygen- "As Essential to the Skin as Water"
BIODYNE TRF (Tissue Respiratory Factor)- Named biodyne from the Greek words Bios (life ) and Dyne (force). Biodyne TRF assists the skin cells in their uptake of Oxygen. Patented by Dr. Sperti, this cell derivative boosts cell oxygenation to stimulate healthy cell growth and reproduction. Oxygen assists in detoxifying, increasing fresh cell turnover, and building collagen and elastin in the dermis. Oxygen is so important that the skin cells cannot live without it, yet the level of Oxygen in the skin drops significantly as we age. Even by the age of 40. Studies show, skin treated with oxygen not only functions better, but appears visibly more supple and radiant.

Luzern has suspended this miraculous Biodyne molecule within the extraordinary Force De Vie ("Life Force") formulas and encapsulated it in liposome form to travel deep into the skin. There it helps repair wrinkles and other age related skin damage by improving collagen synthesis, increasing hyaluronic acid synthesis, and promoting outstanding cell renewal for healthy, luminous, younger looking skin.

Coenzyme "Q10-Super antioxidant and skin energizer."- The powerful, non-synthetic form of Ibedenone
Coenzyme Q10 is a vitamin-like, super antioxidant essential for all cellular activity. It is the "spark" that provides the energy your cells need for collagen and elastin production, nutrient utilization, and to fight free radicals. As we age our body's ability to produce this vital Coenzyme diminishes, and our skin becomes more prone to the effects of aging, especially wrinkles and hyperpigmentation. Luzern uses state-of-the-art, time-released liposomes to carry Co-Q10 deep into the skin where it's needed most.

New! Swiss Stem-Cells - "The Cell Preserver"
Swiss Apple Stem Cells work to preserve and protect skin's stem cells. PhytoCellTech(R) - a novel plant cell culture technology has been invented to cultivate dedifferentiated callus cells from a rare Swiss apple. These apple stem cells are rich in epigenetic factors and metabolites, assuring the longevity of skin cells to combat chronological aging while delaying senescence of skin cells, preserving the youthful look, firmness and vitality of one's skin.

Niacinamide B3- "The Great Cell-Communicator"
A super-nutrient for combating aging skin, hyperpigmentation, acne, sensitivity and rosacea. Like epidermal growth factors, but without the possible side effects, Niacinamide interacts with skin cells via cellular communication pathways that "instruct" cells to repair themselves and act more "youthful"; improving cellular energy, reducing inflammation, increasing the production of lipids and ceramides, improving micro-circulation, and inhibiting substances that break down collagen.

Peptides- "The Cell Messengers"
Peptides are chains of small protein molecules that act like a messenger within the skin. They easily penetrate the skin and are highly efficient at stimulating the healing process, triggering the rebuilding of the dermal matrix (collagen) and protecting cells from damage.

Na-R-Lipoic Acid - The "next generation" anti-oxidant powerhouse
Most Lipoic Acid formulas contain a mixture of its two variants, so-called S and R forms, known as Alpha Lipoic Acid. While both S (synthetic) and R (natural) forms are potent antioxidants, only R-lipoic acid improves cellular energy production and reduces inflammation- a major cause of aging. R-Lipoic Acid not only provides your cells superior antioxidant protection, it makes other antioxidants, such as Vitamin C, Vitamin E and CoQ10, work better!

Vitamin C- "The Antioxidant Superpower (L-Ascorbic Acid, Vitamin C Ester)"
When applied topically, Vitamin C stimulates collagen and protects the skin from environmental damage. Vitamin C gently exfoliates, firms and brightens the skin, imparting the skin with a more even tone and porcelain effect. Luzern uses both water-soluble and fat soluble versions of Vitamin C to ensure the delivery of the most potent and stable form of this powerful antioxidant.

Hyaluronic Acid- The Skin "Plumper"
HA occurs naturally in the deeper layers of our skin. It helps skin stay smooth and "plump" through its ability to hold up to 1,000 times its weight in water. The ability to retain and hold moisture is the secret to youthful looking, healthy skin. As we age the skin begins to lose its ability to retain moisture, we begin to lose elasticity, and lines and wrinkles appear. HA puts back what is naturally lost to restore radiance and youthful looking skin.

Alpha-Hydroxy Acid- "The Radiance Booster"
Derived from French Chardonnay Grapes. Fermented to produce highly refined Alpha Hydroxy Acids (Malic Acid and Lactic Acid). These gentle, yet effective AHA's refine surface texture and promote smoother, younger looking skin by increasing the rate of cellular renewal.

Metabiotics Resveratrol - Probiotics for the Body, Metabiotics for the Skin
Metabiotics Resveratrol is a powerful new active produced through the fermentation of the small molecule, resveratrol. In Vitro studies, it demonstrates its ability to target micro-inflammation and maintain the structural integrity of skin cells through the dermal epidermal junction.
