Sculptessence™
Flaxseed-derived polysaccharides deliver immediate and long-lasting skin moisturisation. With their "hyaluronic acid-like" properties, they have a plumping action and are also shown to limit collagen degradation, delivering firmer skin. Clinically proven to help naturally redesign the face contour without invasive surgery.
Sculptessence is derived from linseed (one of the most ecologically sound ingredients used as it requires very little fertilizer).
How it works? It has been clinically proven to have a plumping effect on skin volume and so has a contouring effect on the face. It works by protecting the skin’s own collagen (so the skin maintains its firmness) but also stimulates the synthesis of glycosaminoglycans known as GAGs (which are structural chains in the skin). These chains can also hold a lot of water (a bit like hyaluronic acid) so they will help with hydration too – so the overall effect is more hydrated, firmer and plumper looking skin.
What are the benefits? This ingredient is a bit like an injectable filler in a bottle – studies were really impressive after 6 weeks of use showing a gentle volume improvement plus 75% firmer skin in all who tried it and 92% said their skin was smoother.
