PhytoCellTec Goji is a novel plant stem cell ingredient that is based on the super fruit goji and which tightens facial contours.
As we age, one of the major changes in our skin is the breakdown and reduced production of collagen and elastin. This results in sagging skin that can most notably be observed at the face contours of the jawline. A youthful appearance with a V-shaped jawline is a desired look all over the world.
Mesenchymal stem cells and exosomes – of importance for skin regeneration
Mesenchymal stem cells are a type of stem cell in the skin that is important for various regeneration processes, such as wound healing. They are able to signal to fibroblasts to produce more collagen and elastin in the dermis.
They do this by producing vesicles that are called exosomes. Exosomes are small, approximately 100 nm vesicles that are surrounded by a membrane which contain messenger molecules for cell-to-cell communication.
However, mesenchymal stem cells also undergo the aging process which is why an active ingredient that rejuvenates these cells and boosts exosome production can improve the oval face shape.
Goji stem cell extract helps maintain stemness and boosts exosome production
When aged mesenchymal stem cells were treated with goji stem cell extract, the expression of stem cell markers was increased. This suggests that PhytoCellTec Goji is able to help mesenchymal stem cells to maintain their stemness.
In addition, treatment with goji stem cell extract is able to boost the production of exosomes by mesenchymal stem cells. Further experiments demonstrated that mesenchymal stem cells treated with goji stem cell extract were able to communicate with fibroblasts and activate them to produce more collagen and elastin.
Furthermore, placebo-controlled clinical studies showed that treatment with PhytoCellTec Goji:
- Improves skin density
- Tightens facial contours
- Minimizes fine wrinkles and deeper lines.
Therefore, PhytoCellTec Goji rejuvenates the skin from inside out for an improved V-shaped face.
