Erasing Age Spots and Equalizing the Skin Tone
Delentigo™ targets and lightens age spots by combining two active substances incorporated into separate liposomes:
- An extract of Swiss garden cress sprouts which is rich in sulforaphane, a powerful antioxidant phytonutrient
- Genistein, the biologically active form of the most abundant soy isoflavone.
Age spots appear on UV-exposed areas of the body mainly after 50. They are characterized by an increased production of two pigments: melanin and lipofuscin.
Delentigo™ prevents and regulates the formation of both pigments. It also inhibits the accumulation of lipofuscin in the skin by activating the proteasome, the cell’s own cleaning system which degrades oxidized proteins.
Classical whitening actives don’t work specifically on age spots. They tend to lighten the skin all over, that is to say both age spots and normally pigmented areas. If not applied only to the spot, the fading effect is not perceptible because the difference of pigmentation between the spot and the normally pigmented surrounding areas remains the same.
Clinical studies performed on Caucasian skin types showed that Delentigo™:
- visibly lightens age spots
- equalizes the skin tone by fading age spots more than the surrounding, normally pigmented skin.
Delentigo™ can therefore be applied all over the face in contrast to classical whitening actives which have to be applied only to the spots.
