The extract used is very rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, provides the skin with moisture and thus helps soothe skin irritation.
Learn moreeasyliance
EASYLIANCE is a combination of active ingredients made from hydrolyzed polysaccharides and gum arabic. The polymer is naturally produced by microorganisms that live symbiotically in plant roots. For cosmetic purposes, the polymer is industrially produced using a special fermentation process. The active ingredient forms a fine film on the skin. As a result, skin folds appear smoothed and the skin immediately feels more even . The smoothing effect is both perceptible and visible.

Hyaluronic acid occurs in human and animal connective tissue as well as in bodily fluids. Today it is produced biotechnologically. In combination with water, hyaluronic acid leaves a viscoelastic, non-sticky and invisible film on the skin. This regulates the skin's moisture balance. Because of this strong moisture retention, the skin appears significantly smoother and plumper. Low-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid: provides immediate and lasting hydration (direct effect) High-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid: prevents moisture loss through surface action
Learn moreapple stem cell extract
As we age and due to environmental and stress factors, the number and activity of skin stem cells decreases. As a result, the skin can lose its ability to regenerate and age faster. To counteract this process, it is important to specifically protect and support skin stem cells.Thanks to modern cell culture techniques it is now possible to cultivate cells from rarer and endangered plant species. The apple stem cell extract, also known by the name Phyto CellTech™, provides valuable nutrients that can promote the viability and health of human skin stem cells. In doing so, they help counteract premature skin aging.
Learn moreSyn®-AKE
The active ingredient Syn®-AKE is a so-called tripeptide. Peptides are made up of amino acids, the basic building blocks of all organisms in the body, and are often synthetically produced to perform various functions in conventional cosmetics. Syn®-AKE is used as an active ingredient with a “Botox-like effect” because, like Botox, it is intended to inhibit the contraction of facial muscles and has excellent smoothing and anti-wrinkle properties .

1. High-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid The high-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid acts on the surface, forming a moisture film there and instantly smoothing the skin. 2. Low-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid Low-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid penetrates deeper into the skin than high-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid. It provides intensive moisture there and plumps the skin from within. 3. Cross-linked hyaluronic acid Cross-linked hyaluronic acid is particularly stable. It retains moisture for a long time and provides lasting smoothing. This produces an immediate effect and at the same time a long-term effect for plump, hydrated skin.

Hydro Marines Collagen is derived from marine algae . It is said to specifically stimulate collagen production in the skin, which leads to an improvement in skin texture, connective tissue and thus overall skin firmness. It is also credited with antioxidant properties
Learn moreneutrazen™
Neutrazen™ is a peptide made of three amino acids, specifically developed for sensitive or irritated skin. It can prevent and reverse signs of neurogenic inflammation such as redness and swelling and provides immediate soothing for the skin.
Learn more4x hyaluronic acid
The applied, biotechnologically produced, 4-fold hyaluronic acid is a long-, medium- and short-chain as well as oligomeric (very low-molecular) version. Hyaluronic acid has excellent penetration properties, boosts skin hydration and reduces wrinkles. The smaller the molecular structure of the hyaluronic acid, the better the active ingredient can penetrate deeper skin layers.The active ingredient is non-allergenic and well tolerated.
Learn morecitric acid
Citric acid is used in cosmetics in many ways. It acts as a mild astringent, meaning it tightens pores, helps clarify the complexion and makes the skin appear finer and more balanced. Citric acid also helps to optimally regulate the pH value of cosmetic products.
Learn moresalicylic acid
Salicylic acid is a type of beta-hydroxy acid (BHA) and occurs naturally in some plants, such as willow trees. In cosmetics it is used in synthetic form because of its exfoliating effect and, thanks to this peeling property, salicylic acid is ideal for treating mild acne or pimples.
