Action & Care

SUMMER TIME is the special summer edition that reignites the skin's natural defenses to ensure an optimal level of protection. A subtle alloy of moisturizing, mattifying and soothing agents maximize skin comfort and softness. A tanning-activator increases melanin synthesis in order to avoid the appearance of dark spots and maintain an uniform and sunkissed complexion.

Hy³

Moisturizing

Max

Increases the power of skin’s water retention for deep and even hydration of the different epidermis layers.

--> Stimulates aquaporins and improves the flow of moisture between the skin's various layers to hydrate them all evenly.

--> Boosts keratinocyte growth and collagen synthesis for younger, firmer skin.

--> Deeply hydrates skin.

--> Increases skin's ability to retain moisture in its deepest layers : hyaluronic acid significantly reduces gradual moisture loss.
Ma¹

Matifying

Min

Balances sebum production and reduces the size of pores for an immediate and long-lasting mattifying effect.

--> Regulates the proliferation and differenciation of sebocytes.
--> Reduces sebum secretion.

--> Prevents the proliferation of bacteria (particulary those responsible for acne).

--> Reduces the size of pores.

--> Absorbs excess sebum.
Ap³

Skin Soother

Max

Soothes sensitive skin and reinforces its tolerance threshold for inflammatory reactions.

--> Prevents skin irritation caused by harsh physical and chemical agents.

--> Improves skin hydratation (strengthens skin structure).

--> Restores hydrolipid film (reinforces skin's role as barrier).

--> Reduces inflammatory process (irritation and redness).

--> Reduces skin's reactivity.

--> Reduces neurosensitivity (sensation of discomfort). Increases skin's pain threshold.
Ao³

Antioxidant

Max

Enhances natural skin defenses and minimizes damages caused by free radicals.

--> Protects and repairs DNA from oxidative stress.
--> Protects and reinforces skin cells' integrity against oxidative stress.
--> Protects against UV rays.

--> Reduces the production of free radicals caused by UV rays.

--> Activates skin's hydrating mechanisms to reinforce its primary function as protective barrier.
Po³

Anti-pollution

Max

Increases skin's natural protection against pollutants by preventing their adhesion and by facilitating their elimination.

--> Prevents polluants (heavy metals + cigarette smoke) from adhering to the skin.

--> Enhance skin's natural purification processes to eliminate polluants from the skin.

--> Preserves the supply of antioxidants and prevents cellular death.

--> Protects skin cells against oxidative stress caused by pollution.

--> Activates keratinocyte growth to reinforce the cutaneous barrier.
Et

Heat protection

Max

Preserves the skin’s ability to stay hydrated and protected when exposed to intense heat.

--> Preventative action : increases the amount of available HSP70 in cells under normal climatic conditions.

--> Corrective action : significantly increases synthesis of HSP70 under heat-induced stress.

Maintains cell size and viability to protect against heat and UV, and to improve resistance to dehydratation.
Br

Tanning

Max

STIMULATES MELANIN SYNTHESIS FOR A DEEPER, MORE EVEN AND LONGLASTING TAN.

--> Stimulates the production and uniform distribution of the messengers responsible for melanin transport

--> Encourages and prolongs the adhesion of melanin pigments to skin cells.

--> Intensifies and accelerates melanin synthesis following sun exposure.

Usage Recommendations:

1 / When the bottle is closed, press firmly on the dropper for 3 seconds to load it.

2 / Release the pressure, unscrew the dropper and press it to pour a few drops of serum into the palm of your hand.
Apply morning and/or evening to cleansed skin (face, neck and décolleté). Just a few drops are enough. Apply to targeted areas and spread the serum with your fingertips using upward movements.
Finish with a few taps for better absorption.
Serums in the CODAGE Collection can be mixed or applied in layers, to meet different needs.
Once the serum(s) has (have) penetrated, apply your Day/Night Cream to protect your skin.

Mon compagnon d'été

1 September 2014

Première fois que je trouve un soin qui convienne à ma peau en été. D'habitude, toujours trop léger, pas assez hydratant, ou trop gras, me faisant briller au soleil. Là, juste le parfait dosage, le parfait équilibre. Il me suit partout en été sous le soleil
