Product Highlights

The First Shield Against Solar Elastosis

  • Our modern lifestyle encourage us for exposition to sun-light in order to get an attractive complexion, symbolism of healthy skin. It also contributes to an insidious biological process, the photo-aging.
  • The elastic fibers, key elements responsible of skin firmness, are particularly affected by sunlight that leads to an imbalance between elastin and LOX-L enzyme. Non-functional elastin accumulates, aggregates and cannot be naturally removed. The skin loses its elasticity and becomes loose, lines deepen and run together: this is known as solar elastosis.
  • Lys’Sun® preserves the skin from the imbalances caused by sunlight and helps restore its youthful appearance, repairing damage to fibers in the dermis.
Cosmetic Properties
  • Makes elastin fibers functional by rebalancing the expression between LOX-L and elastin (stimulates LOX-L in UV-A exposed conditions).
  • Decreases the non-functional elastin fibers created under UV radiation by inhibiting elafin level.
  • Protects functional elastic fibers from degradation by inhibiting proteases induced by free radicals (MMP-12).
  • Protects and corrects skin from solar elastosis by allowing the progressive replacement of the elastin aggregates by new functional fibers.
  • Improves firmness significantly better than placebo.
Product Properties

Helps to delay photo-aging by solar elastosis. Rebalances the expression of lysyl oxidase (LOXL) and elastin under UV exposure. Inhibits the formation of elastotic elafin aggregates.
