The Fount Ultra Soothing & Hydrating Serum 15 ml – LUKE

Description

This concentrated serum, enriched with valuable components, intensively moisturises the facial skin and has an instant soothing effect. The product’s components protect cells from stress and oxidative damage. Used daily, the serum increases skin moisture levels, improves its appearance and elasticity, and scratches and inflamed spots heal much faster.

The serum contains biologically active yeast beta-glucans of different molecular sizes (from 1 to 10,000 kDa), whose technology is protected by Lithuanian and international patents, and which have a multifunctional positive effect on the skin. According to the literature, even longer-chain glucans can penetrate the epidermis and influence processes in the skin. By stimulating Langerhans cells, beta-glucans strengthen the skin’s protective properties and have antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory effects. Beta-glucans stimulate the synthesis of new collagen. Beta-glucans on the skin surface strengthen the protective barrier, moisturise and promote healing processes. The soothing and anti-allergic effect of beta-glucans is often mentioned.

The hyaluronic acid in the product provides long-lasting hydration, better cohesion between epidermal cells and slower ageing. The serum formula uses low-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid (sodium hyaluronate), which can penetrate the epidermis and moisturise the deeper skin layers.

The serum contains an easily bioavailable organic silicon compound that compensates for the natural loss of silicon. The organic silicon (silanol) used in the formula is a top-quality raw material made by a manufacturer with many years of experience. This biotechnologically developed silanol is recognised by many companies and is regarded as the benchmark for silicon products made for the cosmetics market.

Silicon acts as a “skin architect” and “trainer”: it improves skin structure and the skin’s biomechanical properties, stimulates fibroblasts and thus promotes the synthesis of collagen fibres, improves communication between cells, protects cells from stress and has an anti-inflammatory effect. At epidermal level silicon stimulates keratinocytes, and in the dermis, fibroblasts.

Silicon protects epidermal and dermal molecules from glycation and oxidative damage and markedly increases skin moisture levels. The skin becomes softer, more elastic and smoother. Studies of silanol with volunteers confirmed that skin moisture levels increase by 37 per cent after just 6 hours. Organic silicon provides a long-lasting moisturising effect.

The jujube (Ziziphus jujuba) seed extract in the serum strengthens the skin’s internal structure, reinforces the bonds between cells and dermal–epidermal cohesion, and reduces sagging. Ziziphus extract helps restore and maintain skin firmness. Jujube seeds contain triterpene derivatives (such as betulin, betulinic acid and jujubosides), which soothe, promote skin healing and have a restorative effect.

Rhaponticum (Rhaponticum carthamoides) extract contains several physiologically active compounds. The main active substances are ecdysteroids, mainly 20-hydroxyecdysone, also known as β-ecdysone, which helps skin cells avoid oxidative stress and inhibits the activity of metalloproteinases that break down collagen and cause skin ageing. Extracts and preparations of this plant have various biological effects: antioxidant, immunomodulating and antimicrobial.

Everlasting (Helichrysum sp.) extract soothes the skin, has an anti-ageing effect and antioxidant properties.
