| What effects does Glucaferm®
have?
Besides its external barrier function, our skin
is also one of the major immune systems of our body. The top
layer, the epidermis, holds the so-called Langerhans cells
(macrophages of the skin). As one of the most important cells of
the immune defense, they fulfill essential defensive and
stabilizing functions in the skin. Glucaferm® boosts
these epidermal macrophages and consequently mobilizes their
activity.
Our skin is constantly exposed to a multitude
of aggressive environmental factors. Damaging UV rays, chemical
and mechanical influences provoke many microscopically small
injuries of the skin and force it to continuous regenerative
actions. Here the Langerhans cells play a major role. They cleanse
wounds of penetrated germs, eliminate damaged cells and dead
tissue particles and direct the growth of new tissue.
With advancing age, the skin's regenerative
ability and infection defense decline. Its capacity to release the
necessary growth factors for skin renewal and to activate other
cells of the immune system diminish. Glucaferm®
promotes the activity of the Langerhans cells, thus preventing
these aging processes in the skin.
UV radiation produces a multitude of free
radicals, which damage healthy skin cells and destroy the
Langerhans cells. Glucaferm® neutralizes these free
radicals. Consequently, it protects skin cells and Langerhans
cells against damage and destruction. The skin recovers a vital
and healthy appearance. Its defense system is enhanced and its
regenerative capacity maintained.
This combination of cell protection and cell
activation makes our product range a comprehensive and highly
efficient anti-aging-program in the field of modern premier
cosmetics. |
