Vitaminée C
Give your skin new power

Vitamins are healthy and essential. They are real beautifiers for the skin. Vitamins protect,
care and heal; they play an important role in optimum skin metabolism.
Vitamins A, E and F have been used specifically in the field of cosmetics for many years.
Due to the most recent research and development, we have now succeeded in providing the
skin with high concentrations of that vital substance, vitamin C.

How do you recognise that the skin is deficient in vitamin C?

Vitamin C deficiency may easily lead to the fact that the vital Langerhans cells are no longer
sufficiently supplied. However, these control the production of new collagen fibres, the so-
called supporting tissue of our skin. If the renewal of collagen fibres is slowed down, the skin
tissue slackens and appears tired, limp and wrinkled; sometimes, the skin appears to have
aged over night.

What does vitamin C do for the skin?

Vitamin C, which is familiar to everyone as a power vitamin, is particularly effective in
combating aggressive oxygen molecules which make the skin age more rapidly. In the event
of a vitamin C deficiency, the collagen may become brittle. The breakdown of collagen fibres
is slowed down by regularly supplying vitamin C. In addition, scientific tests have proved that
the new formation of collagen fibres may be increased by up to 60% by vitamin C. And this is
revealed by a smoother, more youthful skin profile.

be channelled into deeper layers of skin. The particularly high-performance products
are only available for this special treatment.

Apply with a mask brush (leave the area around the eyes free). Allow to work
in for approx. 5 - max. 10 minutes, then remove product residues with cool to
lukewarm compresses. Tone (skin-specifically).

Step 4 Restructure (saturate the skin with strengthening and repairing active
substances): Apply „Serum Beauté Eclat/Beauty Effect” and work in.

Step 5 Active substance massage with Matrigel® (;assage based on algae extract):
Thoroughly moisten the skin with „Basis Complexe/Activating Complex” (apply

Activating Complex again until a glideable massage gel forms. Massage in for
approx. 10 - 12 minutes with fingers which are as moist as possible. After
massaging, thoroughly remove product residues with lukewarm compresses.
Tone (skinspecifically).
For additional information see product manual part “Matrigel”.

 RetiVital C
Retinol and Vitamin C
Innovative for the wellness for your skin

Retinol, the pure form of vitamin A, is known as one of the most effective actives. Vitamin A
in combination with vitamin C does not only „make-up your skin”, it is the perfect combination
to build up and strengthen your skin. For many years Vitamin A in its dif-ferent forms has
been used in different cosmetic products.

High-tech vesicles allow to incorporate and combine pure Retinol together with other actives
like vitamines C and E in stable cosmetic emulsions. By the way Retinol is protected against
decomposition by light or oxygen. It can be guaranted that your skin is continuously provided
with the actives in an optimum measured out dose (retard system). That’s why you receive a
„24-hours-all-inclusive-care” for your skin!

What does vitamin A and C for your skin?

Known to be very powerful, vitamin C is very efficient in fighting against the negative
influences of free radicals and in addition improves the skin’s mechanism to synthe-size its
collagenous fibres as well as your skin receives additional vitality.

Retinol shows its activity in the deeper layers of the epidermis. It stimulates the
renewal of the cells, controls the keratinization, protects the epithelular cells and strengthens
the skin.

The moisture content of the skin is improved by up to 30% and the skin roughness is
reduced by up to 43%. In consequence the skin looks smooth, soft and refreshed.
