Due to environmental factors and ageing, the skin loses its capacity to regenerate, thereby weakening the cutaneous barrier and the dermal architecture. Faced with this observation, in 2008 Silab developed Glyco-Repair.
With this natural active ingredient able to reactivate the natural processes of skin repair, Silab brings additional efficacy data to its active ingredient in a context of ageing:
- At the level of the epidermis, by confirming the capacity of Glyco-Repair to reactivate the different biological pathways involved in re-epithelialisation, in particular keratinocyte differentiation, and by highlighting its healing action
- At the level of the dermis, by reaffirming the ability of Glyco-Repair to restore the integrity of the support tissue, especially with its action on the architecture of the dermal matrix and on the functionality of fibroblasts
The new efficacy data highlights that the active ingredient also repairs age-related disorders. Indeed, a study by fringe projection demonstrated that Glyco-Repair, tested at 3% during 14 days of twice daily application on a mature Caucasian panel, improves skin microrelief and especially parameter Sa (-8.6%). In addition, after 28 days of twice daily application, a clinical scoring by trained evaluators using digital photos indicated that the appearance of pores is reduced (-13.8%) and the crow’s feet wrinkles are decreased (-10.5%).
A self-evaluation by volunteers confirmed these data, since 83% of them perceive their skin grain
refined and 94% report their skin to be smoother and their fine lines and wrinkles to be less visible.
