What is SkinCeuticals A.G.E. Interrupter Advanced?
The new SkinCeuticals A.G.E. Interrupter Advanced is a face cream specially formulated to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines on the face, neck, and chest. It is one of the many skincare lines Rejuvé has on-site for purchase.
The A.G.E Interrupter Advanced face cream is specifically designed for adults dealing with fine lines and wrinkles caused by decreasing collagen levels and glycation. It particularly targets five problem areas on the face where fine lines and wrinkles commonly appear: the forehead (forehead lines), between the eyebrows, (glabellar lines or frown lines), corners of the mouth (marionette lines), corners of the eyes (crow’s feet), and from the sides of the nose to the corners of the mouth (nasolabial folds).
Why it works:
SkinCeuticals’ A.G.E. Interrupter Advanced was developed based on 15+ years of glycation research and expertise. This potent anti-wrinkle cream that helps in correcting and defending against visible signs of skin aging contains 18% Proxylane™, a synthetic ingredient derived from sugar xylose found in beechwood and birch. It is an eco-friendly ingredient that helps keep the skin plump and hydrated thus giving it a supple, smoother, and younger-looking appearance.
This new A.G.E. Interrupter Advanced face cream also contains 4.25% blend of wild fruit flavonoids derived from blueberry and pomegranate extracts as well as 0.1% glycyrrhetinic acid, a compound found in licorice extract that helps brighten the skin and gives it a more even tone.
What is glycation?
According to the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), “glycation is an aging reaction of naturally occurring sugars and dermal proteins, which begins in early life… and progressively accumulates in tissues and skin due to glycated collagens that are difficult to be decomposed.” In terms of skin aging, glycation occurs when there is too much sugar in the body or when there is prolonged exposure to the sun and its harmful UV rays. Processed foods as well as foods and beverages that contain excessive amounts of sugar are common causes of glycation.
How to use SkinCeuticals A.G.E. Interrupter Advanced:
This dermatologist-recommended facial cream is typically used twice a day, once in the morning and once at night before bedtime. The typical recommendation is to apply a thin layer on the face, neck, and chest.
If combined with other products, it is recommended that you check first with your doctor or dermatologist about its compatibility with your other skincare products.
