Advanced glycation end products, AGE, are a specific form of cellular waste formed by spontaneous bonding of sugar to proteins, DNA and lipids. In AGE-damaged skin, the collagen fibers of the dermis are crosslinked by sugar derivatives and can thus no longer move independently. This results in the development of ageing symptoms such as wrinkles and decreased elasticity and firmness.
Because of the inherent coloration of the sugar molecules, an increased level of AGE can cause the skin to appear sallow and yellowish. Due to jujube and olive components, Proteolea from Rahn promotes mechanisms to counteract AGE-damages in skin, said the company. Oleuropein activates the proteasome, the natural recycling system of skin cells and thus helps reduce existing levels of AGE. Furthermore, due to their anti-oxidative properties oleuropein and jujube generally have an AGE-reducing potential and prevent the formation of new AGE.
Proteolea is free from listed preservatives and can be considered as China-compliant. In a new double blind, placebo-controlled and randomized in-vivo study, Rahn could demonstrate the anti-AGE-effect: upon four weeks of application the active ingredient reduces the accumulation of AGE in the skin and noticeably improves skin complexion and radiance.
