Zinzino Skin Serum with 24-Hour Action for Face and Neck, Reduces Fine Lines and Wrinkles 50 ml

The extracellular matrix plays a substantial role in skin ageing and repair
Exposed skin (on the hands and face) ages faster than unexposed skin due to external factors. These include sun exposure, smoking and environmental pollutants that produce free radicals which damage the skin. There are also internal factors. When skin metabolism is optimal, signs of skin damage are repaired and the matrix is unaffected. A poor diet, however, accelerates matrix damage and slows its regeneration. This leads to increased matrix breakdown and accelerates the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Skincare products need to address the causes of ageing as well as the visible signs. Zinzino Skin Serum does this by protecting, repairing and rebuilding the matrix. Skin Serum is a highly effective standalone product. However, if your diet is not optimal, it is even more effective when combined with BalanceOil and Xtend, which nourish the skin from within.

Protection: reducing matrix damage
Sunlight ages the skin by breaking down the ECM. Zinzino Skin Serum contains 4 active ingredients that block this essential part of the ageing process at 4 different stages.
- squalene
- 1-3, 1-6 beta glucans
- tocopherols and tocotrienols
- olive polyphenols

Repair: supporting matrix regeneration
Skin cells called fibroblasts repair the ECM by forming collagen, elastin and other microfibres. Zinzino Skin Serum contains 2 active ingredients that improve fibroblast activity in 2 complementary ways.
- copper heptapeptide
- 1-3, 1-6 beta glucans
By reducing ECM breakdown and improving matrix repair, ECM quality gradually improves. This helps maintain a youthful skin appearance.

Rebuilding: improved matrix quality
Rebuilding the ECM makes skin more hydrated, softer, more elastic and, naturally, more resilient. This reduces both fine lines and the appearance of wrinkles. Rebuilding takes time, but to provide faster results, the serum adds 2 fast-acting compounds for immediate benefits.
- calendula (anti-inflammatory agent)
- hyaluronic acid (hydrating agent)

The extracellular matrix
Human skin consists of three main layers: the epidermis, dermis and hypodermis. The extracellular matrix (ECM), a fine network of microfibres, consists of compounds such as collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid. The ECM is present in the epidermis and dermis and gives skin tensile strength and elasticity. According to the description in the text, the ingredients in Zinzino Skin Serum target the ECM in both layers.

Golden glow
Zinzino Skin Serum contains traces of beta-carotene, the natural pigment found in many fruits and vegetables. Repeated use of the serum creates a subtle golden glow - the same healthy, attractive appearance associated with a healthy diet.

Other ingredients
We also include other important ingredients in Skin Serum: shea butter, a fat obtained from nuts, and sunflower oil (Helianthus annuus), both with good moisturising properties. We also use Chondrus, a type of seaweed with hydrating and UV-protective effects. Sepiolite, a mineral clay, is added for its antiseptic and skin-restoring properties, while Avena Sativa, an oat extract, helps soothe irritated skin. Finally, we have added betaine to support cellular water balance and benefit from its anti-inflammatory properties.

Free from fragrance and parabens
Zinzino Skin Serum contains no fragrance. Its light, neutral scent comes from its natural active ingredients (such as beta glucans). This does not interfere with other perfumes or scents applied. In addition, Skin Serum contains no parabens.
