Triple Lipid Restore 2:4:2 is a unique lipid cream containing the first 2:4:2 cholesterol-dominant ratio of 2% pure ceramides 1 and 3, 4% natural cholesterol, and 2% fatty acids, which is proven to refill skin lipids, hydrate skin and improve skin's barrier function to nourish dry skin and correct signs of aging such as smoothness, firmness, pores, and overall radiance.

Ingredients

2% Pure Ceramides 1 & 3: Synergistically proven to increase hydration and barrier function

4% Natural Cholesterol: Proven to accelerate barrier recovery in aging skin to improve the appearance of elasticity

2% Fatty Acids: Aids in structural integrity of lipids to optimize skin’s overall lipid balance

How to use

Science

Lipids are natural compounds found in skin. While there are many kinds of lipids, ceramides, natural cholesterol, and fatty acids are the predominant forms. With age, lipid production declines, impacting barrier function and natural self-repair. As a consequence, accelerated visible signs of aging appear such as skin roughness, uncomfortable tightness, dullness, and loss of facial fullness.

In a 8-week study, Triple Lipid Restore 2:4:2 significantly improved the appearance of key visible signs of accelerated aging:

• 66% improvement in smoothness
• 35% improvement in laxity
• 20% improvement in evenness
• 26% improvement in radiance
• 44% improvement in pore appearance

Protocol: A dermatologist-controlled 8-week clinical study on 55 subjects with twice daily application of Triple Lipid Restore 2:4:2. Subjects also used SkinCeuticals Gentle Cleanser and Ultimate UV Defense SPF 30. Inclusion Criteria: Females ages 55-75 with moderate fine lines/wrinkles, uneven skin tone, skin dullness, skin roughness, lack of skin tone clarity, and lack of skin firmness.

The first anti aging cream with a 2:4:2 cholesterol-dominant ratio formulation of maximized concentration of pure lipids. Anti aging treatment refills cellular lipids to help support skin's natural self-repair and nourishment.

Science

Aging skin prone to breakouts has a unique set of needs. As skin ages, it experiences a natural loss of moisture and slowdown in the cell turnover cycle, which may cause excess dead skin cells to clog pores and result in breakouts. However, many traditional blemish fighting ingredients have the potential to dry out skin. This can exacerbate the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Effective daily cleansing and exfoliation can help decongest pores and remove excess sebum and dead skin cells.
