Dr. Kharazmi:

The reason is two folds, one is this. In a mature skin one of the common things that are missing is hydrated skin, hydration, your capacity to keep skin hydrated, and there are certain elements in the skin that the body produces to trap those molecules and one of them is hyaluronic acid and what happens is this, is that, the cream line incorporates growth factors which stimulate production of these components of the tissue that are lacking and become deficient with time.

So, what we’re doing is really replacing the natural ingredients in the face that are required which increases the chance of moisture, which improves collagen production and also it enables increase in circulation to the skin. So, simply put, we’re replacing what’s lacking.

The other important thing about the skin line that’s really unique is that the delivery system is a very technologically advanced system. It’s called non-encapsulation. Non-encapsulation is basically a very, very, very small biosphere, a sphere made of phospholipids which is your cell membranes are made out of, and within that center, the core of that biosphere are the growth factors.

Why is that important is because without that biosphere, without it being so small, it wouldn’t go through your skin. The skin will not be able to absorb it. So the sense of softness that occurs immediately after application is the phospholipids with the growth factors are penetrating the skin immediately and that’s what’s so unique about the product line.
