REJUV Alpha-Lipoic Acid Skin Cream (1 oz.)

This is a pharmaceutical grade alpha-lipoic acid cream in a 1 oz light-protective glass pump bottle.

GeroNova-REJUV CRÈME is free of animal fats, mineral oils, artificial fragrances or harsh sulfate surfactants.

Oils stay on the surface of the skin and clog the skin pores, preventing the skin from breathing. Even though your skin feels moisturized, you are being fooled by the thin film lying on the surface. Oil is not really a natural moisturizer, nor is it a good one. It works by blocking exposure to the outside air and is very susceptible to oxidation. The key is to prevent your skin from oxidizing, which is what causes skin aging.

GeroNova-REJUV CRÈME ingredients are well absorbed through the surface of the epidermis deep into the dermis layer of skin where most skin aging begins. The liposome-like penetration is achieved through a natural emulsification process that allows the potent lipid and water-soluble nutrients to be deeply absorbed by the skin, without the use of synthetic chemicals.

Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA)

is a potent antioxidant that can rapidly reach and protect both water and lipid portions of skin. ALA has the ability to regenerate other essential antioxidants such as vitamins C and E, CoQ10 and glutathione which are naturally present in the cells, thus working to increase their levels. It promotes optimum efficiency for production of energy in living cells and aids in exfoliation, helping the skin to develop a healthy, youthful, glowing appearance.


L-Carnosine

is naturally present in the human body, however its level declines as we age. It is a dipeptide of the amino acids beta-Alanine and l-Histamine. L-Carnosine has the remarkable ability to rejuvenate cells and connective tissue, restoring normal appearance and extending cellular lifespan. It prevents skin collagen cross-linking, which leads to loss of elasticity and wrinkles.

As a potent antioxidant, L-Carnosine effectively quenches the most destructive of free radicals, the hydroxyl radical, as well as super oxide, singlet oxygen and the peroxyl radical. It also protects cellular DNA and chromosomes from oxidative damage that accumulates with age.


DMAE

is a cell membrane stabilizer, and a potent natural precursor to acetylcholine, which is necessary for firm skin. Cell membrane degradation has been shown to be one of the primary causes of premature aging. Topical use of DMAE shows remarkable effects in the reduction of fine lines and wrinkles.


Panthenol (vitamin B-5)

is an important skin nutrient required for the production of Co-Enzyme-A, which supplies energy, rejuvenation and longevity to the cells. When Panthenol comes into contact with skin, it is converted into pantothenic acid, a B Complex Factor. Panthenol also works with DMAE in the production of acetylcholine which firms and tones the skin. It reduces redness, helps to improve the appearance of wrinkles, acts as a humectant, holding water on the skin's surface and repairs collagen.


Vegetable glycerin

helps maintain the water balance in the intercellular matrix of the skin and in so doing, maintains the skin's homeostasis. Glycerin helps other lipids to perform their work more effectively.


Hyaluronic Acid

a key component of human tissue, decreases as we age due to two separate clinically proven factors; decrease in HA synthesis and the shift from concentration from the epidermis to the dermis. These changes can leave the epidermis depleted in HA, resulting in thinning, aging and decreased moisture in the skin. HA is a natural skin moisturizer and a key component of collagen, the substance responsible for holding the body together. It known for its high capacity to retain moisture, higher than for any other substance known, even in low humidity. It forms a moisture-retaining film on the skin, permeable to light and air. It is not sticky, and does not obstruct the skin’s ability to breathe

When applied to the skin, HA can penetrate the skin surface and replenish the natural levels already present. Like HA produced in the body, HA used in this way moisturizes from the dermis to the epidermis - from deeper layers of the skin to the outer layer. HA is also a free radical scavenger and antioxidant. It keeps the skin moist, supple and soft and reduces fine lines.


Vitamin A (Retinyl Palmitate)

has a molecular structure that's tiny enough to get into the lower layers of skin, where it finds collagen and elastin. It improves mottled pigmentation, fine lines and wrinkles, skin texture, skin tone and color, and the skin's hydration levels.


Vitamin E

is known as the “protection vitamin” of the skin, because it protects the cell membranes from damage of free oxygen radicals. It has anti-inflammatory properties, increases skin moisture and promotes wound healing. Vitamin E prevents the skin from premature aging induced by UV irradiation and lipid peroxidation. It can be used for skin that dry, chapped, dehydrated and sun damaged, also following laser surgery and chemical peels.


Vitamin C

properly formulated, stimulates collagen formation topically, adding elasticity and strength that makes the skin feel smoother and diminishes the appearance of fine lines. It helps skin appear firmer and helps to reduce puffiness and dark circles under the eyes. Vitamin C is a potent anti-oxidant that helps to neutralize and eliminate the detrimental effects of free radicals, increasing skin vitality and youthfulness. Vitamins C & E, while effective individually, work together synergistically in a much more effective manner.


Aloe Vera

is a superb penetrating, moisturizing agent, helps keep the skin supple, encourages skin rejuvenation and has been used in the control of acne and eczema. Aloe's healing power comes from increasing the availability of oxygen to the skin, and by increasing the synthesis and strength of tissue. Aloe Vera clinical tests show that it supports surgical recovery and fast healing of wounds and reduction of scarring, minimizes frostbite damage, soothes burns and sunburn , screens out radiation, helps psoriasis and has anti-inflammatory properties.

NaPCA (the sodium salt of pyrrolidone carboxylic acid)

is an excellent moisturizing agent, keeping skin soft and wrinkle free. As children, our skin possesses an abundant supply pf NaPCA . As we age, the level of NaPCA drops 50% or more. The ability of skin to hold moisture is directly related to its NaPCA content. It is water, not oil, that keeps skin soft and supple. NaPCA chemically attracts water into the skin from the surrounding air , moisturizing the skin, improving its appearance and giving it a moist and youthful glow.


Lecithin

is a natural anti-oxidant that forms liposome, the most common and naturally occurring phospholipid, found in all layers of the skin. It supplies all the phosphatides found naturally in cell membranes, especially phosphatidylcholine, which is an important nutrient that repairs and maintains cell membranes. Lecithin helps protect and soften the skin, keeping it supple. GeroNova-REJUV CRÈME contains a special emulsified lecithin that is more readily available to the cells. This increases penetration to more efficiently repair and maintain cell membranes.

Chamomile Extract

promotes healthy skin and is rich in Azulene, a natural anti-inflammatory and healing agent. It has a natural skin softening and soothing component that improves texture and reduces fine lines and wrinkle.


Horsetail Extract’s

healing properties, known since ancient Roman times, are from its high content of vegetal silica, which has a softening and smoothing effect on the skin. It has astringent and wound healing properties, and contains the bio-minerals (manganese, magnesium, iron and copper) necessary for collagen and elastin biosynthesis, linking the produced collagen fibers to help rebuild connective tissue.


Grape Seed Extract

has mildly astringent qualities which help to tighten and tone the skin, making it useful for acne and other skin conditions. Grape seed extract contains proanthocyanidins, which are considered to be very potent antioxidants, helpful for diminishing the sun's damaging effects, lessening free-radical damage and is also helpful in wound healing. It is rich in linoleic acid, an essential fatty acid important for the skin and the cell membranes, with regenerative and skin moisturizing properties.


Centella Asiatica Extract

has antibacterial, anti-psoriatic and wound-healing properties and contains compounds that exert a balancing effect on connective tissue with improved function and integrity of the collagen matrix. It also prevents or limits the shrinkage and swelling of the skin caused by infection and inhibits scar formation, increasing healing and reducing fibrosis.
