Ageing skin: more than just wrinkles

Mention ageing skin and most people will think first of wrinkles, especially in the US and Western Europe. However, in Asia and in China in particular, DSM found that early signs of ageing tend to have enlarged pores and duller, more uneven skin tone.

 Anti-ageing products designed to combat fine lines and wrinkles cannot be expected to positively impact even one of these concerns.

Enlarged pores in mature skin tend to develop after the age of 30. This is related to biological ageing and the accumulation of damage from UV rays. Both these factors weaken the skin’s natural collagen, leading to sagging skin and larger-looking facial pores

Age spots appearing on more exposed areas of the body, such as the face, hands and décolleté, are another common complaint as skin ages.  These are caused by long-term exposure to sunshine which increases melanocyte activity in the skin causing an irregular amount of melanin to be produced.

DSM’s latest skin active, Beauactive, addresses both these concerns and has the added advantage of strong green credentials. This highly pure, potent hydroxystearic acid is produced by the bioconversion of sunflowerderived oleic acid using a process developed by DSM. Importantly, Beauactive is approved for sale in China, where enlarged pores and pigmentation are prime skinageing concerns. 

In vivostudies have confirmed the outstanding efficacy of Beauactive which results in a visible reduction of conspicuous facial pores and age spots, giving skin a younger, improved appearance after the age of 30.
