Age embrace. Well-ageing is the new anti-ageing by Mérieux Nutrisciences via ZOOM#31

9 October 2024

In recent years, there has been a new perspective on aging, not as an enemy to combat but as an experience to embrace fully through wellness and self-care. Cosmetics are leading this new lifestyle, offering various products for healthy, glowing skin at any age. To ensure these products’ efficacy, advanced testing technologies and strategies are essential:

Protect the skin

– Hydration properties: In vitro aquaporin’s analysis and in vivo Corneometer/Moistumeter

– Antioxidant action: ROS analysis

– Solar protection: SPF and UVA Protection Factor

Enhance luminosity

– Skin boosting and skin awakening: Dull and even skin tone complexion, skin colour, brightness, eye bags, dark circles

Improve appearance

– Skin laxity: Collagen and elastin production assessment

– Reinforcing barrier functions: TEWL

– Wrinkles and fine lines: roughness and texture evaluation (3D Skin Scanner)

Increase tone

– Evaluation of skin viscoelasticity properties: firmness and laxity

– Re-densifying evaluation with skin ultrasound imaging analysis
