BEFORE the procedure

This day cream has been specially developed to prepare the skin for aesthetic treatments and improve its condition. It effectively promotes the skin’s natural healing process whilst reducing sensitivity and stimulating the production of key elements such as collagen, hyaluronic acid and other components of the skin matrix. Containing a powerful, retinol-like active ingredient, it delivers exceptional results without the irritation typically associated with retinoids. No other product offers this combination of key active ingredients: Ectoin: Stimulates and accelerates the (over)expression of heat shock proteins. An anti-inflammatory agent. Enables rapid restoration of protein synthesis and the skin’s defence function. High water-binding capacity increases skin hydration. Better than any hyaluronic acid. Lactococcus Ferment Lysate: A probiotic-based ingredient that provides essential proteins and enzymes, supports the skin’s barrier function, improves cellular cohesion and accelerates skin renewal. Boosts caspase production. Acetyl tetrapeptide-2: Has been shown to activate the FBLN5 and LOXL1 promoters and also increases the levels of both proteins, as well as collagen and elastin. The peptide improves skin laxity and disorganisation. Methylglucoside phosphate and copper lysinate / prolinate: Collagen I and III, as well as tropoelastin and elastin, are boosted within 11 days. This improves the skin’s collagen density and anisotropy index. Methylene blue: Stimulates skin fibroblast proliferation, delays cellular ageing, improves skin vitality, promotes skin wound healing, and increases skin moisture and thickness. Liquorice extract, caffeine, zinc gluconate and horse chestnut seed extract: Provides the skin with soothing and anti-stinging properties (tested against surfactants, AHAs and capsaicin). Reduces neurogenic inflammation and erythema. Liposomal carnosine, silymarin and tocopherol: Inhibits oxidative stress, which has been found to clinically reduce glycation. Protects protein function and enhances elasticity. Swertia chirata extract: This extract has been shown to induce significant production of growth factors from stem cells derived from fat cells. It promotes keratinocyte proliferation, resulting in a thicker epidermis with a greater number of keratinocyte layers, which ultimately leads to a resurfacing effect. Acetylhexapeptide-51-amide: Mimics the activity of FOXO3a (a member of the Forkhead-box family of transcription factors), which is involved in cell repair, renewal and longevity. Protects DNA and stimulates the body’s natural DNA repair pathways. Bakuchiol:Reduces skin roughness and redness. Stimulates collagen types I, III and IV. Bakuchiol regulates many genes involved in the production and maintenance of the extracellular matrix (ECM) and the dermo-epidermal junction (DEJ) by influencing enhancing collagen IV and XVII, laminin, integrins, dystroglycan and E-cadherin . It also downregulates pro-inflammatory gene expression and enzymes such as MMP-1 and MMP-12. N-acetylglucosamine-6-phosphate: Stimulates GAG production in the papillary dermis after six days. Reorganises and strengthens the dermal-epidermal junction after ten days. Facilitates cell communication and stimulates fibroblast division. Encapsulated NAD+ fragments: Increase NAD+ levels in cells and catalyse the expression of sirtuins (longevity genes). NAD+ has been found to have a crucial influence on vital processes, including gene expression, the cell cycle, insulin secretion, DNA repair, apoptosis and ageing. So good, it also serves as preparation for treatment; ideally used at least 10 days before the procedure! cosmeticanalysis.com rating = GOOD      

This rejuvenating serum has been developed as a companion to injectable treatments and contains 14 active ingredients formulated to rejuvenate the skin. This product is formulated to deliver exceptional skin rejuvenation, rapid recovery, and protection of endogenous and newly induced ECM proteins. Vitamins protect and accelerate healing by minimizing erythema and bruising. Peptides stimulate dermal restructuring, a reduction in pigmentation and an extension of the benefits of injectable substances such as fillers, botulinum toxin and mesotherapy. Specific peptides are selected to reorganise the skin structure and regulate collagen and elastin synthesis for proper, functional matrix production. The unique blend of methylene blue and NAD+ fragments is used to activate sirtuins—which are involved in gene silencing, apoptosis, fatty acid metabolism, and the regulation of cell lifespan—and to reactivate senescent fibroblasts to a youthful level of activity. Key active ingredients: Vitamin B5: Accelerates re-epithelialisation during wound healing. Vitamin B5 has also demonstrated anti-inflammatory effects. Treated epidermal wounds showed reduced erythema and more elastic and robust tissue regeneration. Vitamin E: Antioxidant and anti-inflammatory. Vitamin K Oxide: Improves healing and reduces the severity of bruising following non-surgical and surgical procedures. Effective in treating purpura and preventing post-treatment erythema. Methylglucoside Phosphate + Copper Lysinate / Prolinate: In vitro increase in the vitality of young and aged fibroblasts and collagen I and III, as well as tropoelastin and elastin, within 11 days. This improves the skin’s collagen density and anisotropy index. Methylene blue: Stimulates fibroblast proliferation and delays cellular ageing, improves skin vitality, promotes skin wound healing, and increases skin moisture and dermal thickness. Acetylhexapeptide-38: Promotes PGC-1α expression and lipid accumulation in adipose tissue. This increases facial volume. Tetrapeptide-17 (GEKG): Stimulates ECM biosynthesis, such as hyaluronic acid, collagen and fibronectin, which play a crucial role in skin ageing, healing and regeneration. Bisabolol: Known for its soothing effect. Encapsulated NAD+ fragments: Catalyse the expression of sirtuins (longevity genes). It has been established that NAD+ has a decisive influence on vital processes, including gene expression, cell cycle progression, insulin secretion, DNA repair, apoptosis and ageing. Ribose: Improves ATP regeneration. Anti-wrinkle effect. N-Acetylglucosamine-6-phosphate and Caffeoylglucoside: Boosts procollagen-1 synthesis. Inhibits the production of MMP-1. Reduces inflammatory skin reactions. Balances tissue remodelling, skin homeostasis, and the ageing and healing processes.  Acetyl Tetrapeptide-2: Triggers the synthesis of elastin and type-1 collagen to a significant extent. It also demonstrates upregulation of genes associated with focal adhesions and collagen synthesis. Reduces skin laxity and skin disorganisation. Hexapeptide-8 and Pentapeptide-1: Reap the benefits of BoNT-A. Reduce the appearance of wrinkles, expression lines and crow’s feet. Lactococcus Ferment Lysate: A probiotic ingredient that promotes essential proteins and enzymes, improves the skin’s barrier function and cellular cohesion, and accelerates skin renewal. Boosts caspase production.

New, efficient pump dispenserThis advanced vitamin A-based anti-ageing serum promotes cell rejuvenation. It stimulates protein synthesis in skin cells and improves the skin’s barrier function. A rich serum containing three unique retinoids in an advanced delivery system for optimised skin penetration. The unique, patented encapsulation delivery system ensures maximum activity with minimal irritation. This serum has been developed to enhance the effectiveness of other skincare products and reduce the signs of ageing, including wrinkles, fine lines, sagging and loss of volume, as well as pigmentation issues. It can be used in combination with any other DELTA product and should be applied to skin that has not been treated with retinol. The main active ingredients are: Vitamin A (retinol) reduces hyperpigmentation, repairs sun-damaged skin and improves cellular metabolism. Peptide-4 stimulates wound healing and supports the repair of the cellular matrix. Geranyl lipids protects cells from oxidative damage and delays cellular senescence L-Carnosine inhibits glycation and protects the cells. Contains a highly effective antioxidant. Rosehip oil treats scars and dark spots, making them less visible. Fine lines and wrinkles are reduced. Vitamin C supports the distribution of melanin and pigment Vitamin E supports the skin’s moisture balance As always, PARABEN-FREE. Combined with a Conditioning Balm from DELTA, you have a complete skincare routine. Use stage one (ONE) first, then stage two (TWO) to achieve optimal results. Start using the retinol serum once a week, depending on your skin’s sensitivity, and gradually increase the frequency until you can use it once a day, preferably in the evening. Apply gradually. Applying a large amount too quickly can trigger retinoid reactions. Gradually apply the serum to the entire face, neck and décolletage. It should not be used at the same time as other retinol products; instead, it is recommended to use the Revitaliser in the morning and the Retinol Serum TWO in the evening after 30 days. After cleansing, wait a total of 5 minutes before applying the Retinol Serum. Use only a pea-sized amount per application. Ideal for ageing, sun-damaged skin. Budget-conscious shoppers and men: Even if you use DELTA Retinol Serum just once a day, you’ll soon look more youthful. However, using less than that is simply not enough. Unlike other retinol products (such as Environ or BelCol), this product can also be used on its own. Rating from Cosmeticanalysis.com: GOOD
