Professor Dr Aran Puri, Global Research Director at our Supplier explains why this special serum remains one of the most effective night time treatments available.

"Protecting our skin, its youth and elasticity are major themes in cosmetic research. One of the most impressive breakthroughs in the field of dermocosmetics has been the advent of cosmeceuticals (super-cosmetics) making effective use of "actives" (ingredients which have a positive effect on skin) derived from nature and science. Two examples of these are found in nurture´s eye contour serum capsules:

Dermochlorella, micro-algae harvested from the sea, is clinically proven for multiple benefits:

• stimulate collagen synthesis, giving strength to and supporting structure of skin
• Protects collagen by inhibiting enzymes responsible for attacking it, resulting in smoother skin and a visible reduction in appearance of wrinkles
• restructure scarred or ageing tissues by improving the quality of the extra cellular matrix, a major supporting element of the dermis

Another being retinol:

• stimulates renewal process of epidermal cells, so thickening the skin. This not only improves the barrier function of the skin but also appearance and elasticity
• can help balance skin tone, reducing discoloration and reducing pore size
• repairs damaged skin and improves the contour of dry, scaly skin

When retinol is combined with dermochlorella, it has been clinically proven to give superior benefits than alone. An independent clinical efficacy study with retinol and dermochlorella (as in nurture´s intensive eye contour serum capsules) showed an overall decrease in wrinkle depth of up to 50% after 28 days."
