The latest in vivo study carried out by Lipotec on Antarcticine marine ingredient confirmed the active’s ability to counteract the effects of extreme weather on the skin.  This biotechnological ingredient with cryoprotective properties shields and  regenerates the skin as well as reduces wrinkles for a firm and young complexion, according to the company.

In the new efficacy assessment, the volunteers with signs of dry skin and wrinkles were asked to spend one hour a day outdoors in cold weather conditions. During 30 days, they applied a cream with 1% Antarcticine marine ingredient C on one side of the face  and a placebo on the other, twice a day.

The participants experienced a significant increase in moisturization after one week, reaching 13.5% after 15 days. The transepidermal water loss (TEWL) level decreased 12.1% after 15 days and 14.7% after 30 days. The red complexion, a very common result of the skin being exposed to cold, was reduced significantly in all  measurements, and a more toned and compact skin appearance was observed.

In addition, the skin was smoother at the end of the treatment as wrinkle depth and volume decreased 10.6% and 9.3%, respectively.
This new data reinforces Antarcticine marine ingredient’s capacity to protect and rejuvenate the skin exposed to severe cold conditions.
