Civona

Dry / Dehydrated / Healing / Sensitive / ALL

2 pumps as last STEP or before make-up in AM. Re-apply if needed during UV exposure. Can be used PM as last STEP as anti-inflammatory night moisturiser if needed

Key Actives

Zinc Oxide 18% - Broad spectrum protection from UVA and UVB radiation

• Speeds healing by stimulating collagen formation, a vital component of new tissue production

• It helps combat aging by stimulating reversal of damaged collagen matrix

• Support role in synthesis of DNA

• Protects skins immune integrity with anti-inflammatory & bacterial infection defence

• Augments auto-debridement during the wound healing phase

• Provides relief for acne, rosacea, psoriasis & eczema sufferers

• Natural component of skins anti-oxidant system

Titanium Dioxide 18% Dispersion – 9% TiO2

• Inert broad spectrum physical block that reflects UVA & UVB rays off the skin

• Prevents ageing & abnormal lesion formation induced by over exposure to sun

• Non comedogenic & non irritating

• Blurring effect helps illuminate & disguise uneven pigmentation

• Natural primer prior to make-up application

2% Tetrapeptide 30– Biomimetic (skin identical) Amino acid sequence Proline –Lysine – Glutamic Acid – Lysine

• Active on all kinds of skin types

• Visibly diminishes hyperchromatic spots

• Brightens skin and improves the evenness of skin tone

• Reduces acne lesions

• Alleviates melasma on ethnic skin

• Provides a significant anti-inflammatory effect

• Safely inhibits the pigmentation process without toxicity or rebound effect

2% Niacinamide – Vitamin B3

• Repairs barrier function – reducing sensitivity

• Potent anti-inflammatory – calming atopic skin disorders

• Inhibits Melanosome transfer to Keratinocyte – normalising hyperpigmentation

• Maintains surveillance function of Langerhan Cells during UV exposure – reducing tumour formation

• Regulates moisture levels – over active sebaceous activity slowed – hydration levels restored

• Delivery mechanism for other nutrients

2% Terminalia Ferdinandiana (Kakadu Plum)

• Water soluble , extracted from the Kakadu Plum, the richest source of vitamin C (Superfruit)

• Free radical scavenger due to high Vitamin C content and polyphenol contents

• Induces vitamin C transporter (SVCT-1) synthesis on skin cells

• Stimulates pro-collagen I and hyaluronic acid synthesis

• Reduces the appearance of wrinkles

• Fights and protects the skin against oxidative stress

• Boosts skin radiance and luminosity

• Improves skin tone evenness with an overall brightening effect

Hyaluronic Acid – Mid – High Molecular Weight

• Natural Moisturising Factor that attracts + binds up to 1000 X its own weight in moisture

• Plumps surface tissue to alleviate dry, thinning skin

• Assists wound healing + repairs barrier function

• Inhibits Trans Epidermal Water Loss– essential for atopic skins

Hyaluronic Acid - Low Molecular Weight

• Trials indicate a reduction in immune-derived inflammation, improving scaling, erythema & pruritus. Effective for Atopic & Seborrheic Dermatitis Rx

• Biological activity triggers built-in immune defence mechanisms whilst inducing anti-bacterial responses effectively healing skins epithelium

• Penetrates effectively to rebuild + plump deeper layers firming the skins surface

• Replenishes the hydration factors diminished with ageing + sun damage to mimic youthful levels

Coenzyme Q10

• Plays an essential role in our biological machinery, producing biological energy (ATP) inside the cells, aiding repair & keeping cells healthy

• Also a potent antioxidant, it neutralises harmful free radicals, preventing premature ageing

Resveratrol

• A potent phytoalexin antioxidant found in red grapes & Knot Weed

• Studies indicate protective effects against UV radiation DNA damage, the cascade of oxidative stress & related signaling leading to mutation & irreparable damages to skin cells

• Anti-inflammatory, Anti-bacterial, Natural Phytoestrogen, Anti-acne

L22 TM Biomimetic Lipid Composition: Jojoba Oil/Macadamia Seed Oil Esters, Squalane, Phytosteryl Macadamiate, Phytosterols, Tocopherol

SKIN LIPID COMPONENTS - triglycerides, sterols, wax esters, squalene, sterol esters

• Ratio consistent with lipid profile of healthy 22 year old skin

• Studies concluded that positive effects on skin hydration, barrier repair, lipid peroxidation induced by aged & sun damaged skins were corrective short & long term

• intense improvements to skin elasticity & firmness were correlated to the skin identical nature of the lipid complex

• Long term correction is induced with ingredients that occur naturally in the skin providing calibration & optimal function

• The skin learns to rehydrate itself again - Promoting less dependence on extra products

L-Carnitine - Amino Acid - Increases skin cell turnover & transports fatty acids into the mitochondria assisting energy production. Aids moisture levels & has an exfoliating effect
