Studies Verify the Skin Efficacy of Silab’s Natural Exfolactive

With age, the natural mechanism of desquamation slows down and dead cells accumulate on the surface of the skin. The complexion becomes dull and microrelief irregular. Faced with this observation, in 20015 Silab launched Exfolactive.
 
In 2021, additional efficacy data has confirmed the capacity of this active ingredient to boost the natural exfoliation capacity of the skin, weakened by aging, by stimulating the activity of desquamation enzymes; and to promote cell renewal and eliminate scales for an optimal cutaneous barrier function.
 
Thanks to its biological exfoliating action on the face and the body, Exfolactive helps to restore an equilibrium between proliferation and desquamation to the epidermis.
 
Study Results
 
After 14 days of application, Exfolactive tested at 2.5% in a Caucasian panel, significantly smoothing skin grain (Sa parameter: -7%). Complexion radiance was improved (reflection: +10% and pink color: +20%) and senescence spots were reduced (-11%). In addition, the skin was rehydrated (+24%).
 
In the same conditions, Exfolactive decreased by 4.1% the a* parameter, characteristic of the color of the scars present on the cheeks in an Asian panel. The active ingredient also smoothed skin grain (rugosity: -8.9%).
 
A comparative study conducted by Silab showed that the benefits of this natural biological exfoliation are equivalent to those obtained with the reference molecules used for chemical scrubbing (glycolic acid on Caucasian skin and salicylic acid on Asian skin), without their undesirable effects.
 
Exfolactive (Hydrolyzed Opuntia ficus-indica Flower Extract) is a patented product, available in aqueous solution (recommended amount: 2 to 4%). This active ingredient has a content of natural origin superior or equal to 99% (ISO 16128) and is compliant with international cosmetic regulations (Europe, United States, Japan, China, etc.).
