Ciste'M BC10023™ is an extract of rockrose adapted to an arid climate. It protects skin from the aging effects of outdoor sun exposure, air pollutants, and indoor exposure to blue light.

Marine Filling Spheres™ are dehydrated microspheres of marine collagen and glycosaminoglycans that have the capacity to rehydrate in the presence of water and regain their initial volume. When they are small and dehydrated, they swell in the presence of water in the skin. Their volume is multiplied 10x. This volume change causes an almost immediate visible smoothing of the skin surface. After remaining in the hollow of the wrinkle, they are degraded by enzymes to slowly release the water initially absorbed, thus being a good moisturizer.
