Vichy Launches LiftActiv With Rhamnose 5%
After more than 10 years of scientific research, Vichy has uncovered the function of a thin layer of cells called the papillary dermis, or Derm Source, a vital layer found to be responsible for driving skin rejuvenation processes, including collagen and elastin production. Over time, Derm Source function deteriorates, leading to visible signs of aging: wrinkles, sagging and a loss of firmness.This understanding of the skin-aging process has led Vichy to develop a new anti-aging range, Vichy LiftActiv with Rhamnose 5%, which works to minimize the signs of aging by directly targeting the Derm Source.
Rhamnose is a naturally derived plant extract that has been proven to stimulate Derm Source activity. The new formulation is proven to reduce the appearance of the most common facial wrinkles—forehead, crow's feet, undereye, and between the eyebrows—starting in just two weeks. Overall skin tone and texture also begin to improve after just four days of use, according to the company.
