Our Skin Needs Nourishment Too
Serums
– Targeted Care to Balance, Nourish, Restore and
Strengthen
By MyChelle Dermaceuticals
 Super-charge
your daily skin care routine with an intensive, restoring and
strengthening serum. Highly concentrated, yet lightly textured and fast
penetrating, serums provide a potent dose of nutrients and active
ingredients deep within the layers of your skin—farther than
moisturizers can go. What you see on the surface of your skin can be a
side-effect of what happens underneath, deep in the dermal layer, and
the targeted action of a serum empowers your skin to correct specific
skin issues. Serums work deep down to bring oil and hydration into
balance, strengthen your skin's structure, increase firmness and
resiliency, and restore youthful vibrancy.
MyChelle natural facial serums address a multitude of skin
issues. Whether wrinkled, aging, sun damaged, acne-prone, or rosacea-prone
conditions are your concern, each serum targets where it's needed most,
and keeps your skin on track to becoming - and staying - healthy and
beautiful-looking.
A good skin care regimen is important to maintaining the health and
beauty of your skin — that's a fact. A gentle cleanser, balancing toner
and nutrient rich, hydrating moisturizer are key components to any daily
program, but as skin ages, experiences damage from sun exposure, or
distressing breakouts pop up, a little extra defense is warranted. Enter
serums, powerful treatments designed to zero in on a specific need.
Serums, by virtue of their thinner consistency and
strong delivery vehicles, penetrate deep within the skin, quickly
releasing their corrective ingredients where they can have the strongest
effect. And since they are designed for targeted action, they can be
layered for multiple issues (i.e., sun damage, dehydration).
What Makes Serums So
Effective?
Higher doses of bioactive
ingredients: The usual percentage of a bioactive in a
cream or lotion is 1%, but in a serum the same ingredient is
typically 2% to 3%. MyChelle uses the highest percentage of each
ingredient suggested by the ingredient manufacturer to assure
optimal, stable and safe results (anywhere from 1% up to 17%,
depending on the ingredient).
Thinner viscosity:
Serums are less viscous, are water-based and contain no wax so they
penetrate the surface of the skin faster than thicker creams and
lotions.
Deeper penetration:
In addition to a thinner consistency, serums by design have
bioactive ingredients with a smaller molecular size (though larger
than nanoparticles) so they penetrate deep into the skin and stay
where they are needed most.
Targeted focus:
Serums are designed with a focused blend of bioactive ingredients
that target a specific issue. This creates a powerful concentration
of correctors to address a particular need— and provide the most
powerful dose for the best possible results. |
MyChelle Serums Address a Multitude of Concerns:
Signs of Aging
A well-known cause of extrinsic aging is sun exposure.
It wreaks havoc at a cellular level, boosting free radical damage and
creating discoloration, sagging, wrinkling and a leathery appearance. In
the world of skin care one of the sun's strongest opponents is Vitamin C
(L-Ascorbic Acid). The amazing attributes of this vitamin were first
discovered by Nobel Prize winner Dr. Linus Pauling, when it was found
that Vitamin C is key in healthy collagen production, the structural
support for the skin. And it doesn't stop there, Vitamin C is also a
powerful antioxidant, demolishing free radicals, and giving skin back
its youthful defense. MyChelle's
Perfect C Serum provides an unprecedented 17% stabilized
L-Ascorbic Acid, along with Retinol (pure Vitamin A), and a multiple of
antioxidants. This skin repairing serum not only helps alleviate and
protect against signs of sun damage, it also helps clear blemishes as
well.
 Wrinkles
are the hallmark of aging skin, but they don't have to be. What if,
instead, aging skin had the opportunity to stay youthfully smooth and
line- free? A remarkable group of advanced ingredients, peptides, are
promising just that. Argireline (Acetyl Hexapeptide 3) hailed as a
nontoxic, alternative to injections, has been documented by the
International Journal of Cosmetic Science, to "reduce wrinkle depth up
to 30% in 30 days of treatment", and furthermore "significantly
inhibited the release of neurotransmitters". What this means is that it
temporarily eases the release of neurotransmitters responsible for the
intensity of facial muscle contractions, preventing and reducing the
look of wrinkles from repetitive facial expression, without the actual
muscle paralysis of an injectable.
Argireline, combined with Instalift Goji GF, a
glycopeptide antioxidant from goji berries, gives your skin a smoother,
more sculpted appearance. Instalift Goji GF provides the feel of instant
firming, and in clinical studies was found to increase firmness by 26.8%
within one hour - making it an excellent instant, as well as long-term
firming ingredient.
 MyChelle's
G2 Instant Firming Serum offers both of these powerhouse anti-
aging ingredients to target signs of age, and turn back the clock to a
more youthful-looking complexion.
Another force to be reckoned with in the war against
aging is MyChelle's
NoTox Anti-Wrinkle Serum. Based on the premise of a non-injectable
topical line filling treatment, No-Tox Anti-Wrinkle Serum utilizes some
of the most powerful wrinkle repair peptides available. SYN-COLL, a
patented bioactive clinically proven to be safe and effective, works by
mimicking the body's own repair processes to support the production of
collagen. Added is SYN-TACKS, an innovative combination of two peptides
that interact with protein within the dermal-epidermal junction (DEJ).
DEJ provides the skin its structure and functional integrity - which
starts to decline around the age of 30. SYN-TACKS improves this
functionality, fortifying and stimulating collagen and strengthening the
skin. In clinical studies, SYN-TACKS was shown to improve overall skin
tone by 32% after two months use.
 NoTox
Anti-Wrinkle Serum also contains Proteasyl TP, a botanical
peptide derived from peas. Proteasyl TP thwarts the enzymes responsible
for the destruction of healthy proteins in the skin due to aging and
stress, and slows free radical proliferation. This, in turn, helps ease
signs of aging, resulting in firmer-looking skin. In a double blind
clinical study, Proteasyl TP was used twice daily for 3 weeks. 12 hours
after the last application skin elasticity had shown improvement of
14.6%, and 24 hours after the last application, elasticity had improved
by 16.7%.
MyChelle’s
NoTox Anti-Wrinkle Serum was chosen as one of the Top 10 BEST
New Products by Better Nutrition! MyChelle natural skin care company is
pleased to be a 2009 Best of Beauty Award Winner.
 Another
firming serum offered by MyChelle is
Serious Hyaluronic Firming Serum which supplies both firming
peptide properties and ultra hydration from hyaluronic acid. It also
visibly firms your skin and provides a protective moisture barrier in
seconds with a skin smoothing starch.
Acne-Prone Skin:
 Acne-prone
or blemished skin can be particularly frustrating at any age.
Clear Skin Serum gives skin prone to breakouts a fighting
chance. It contains super purifying SCO2 Totarol, known to be stronger
and more effective than Tea Tree Oil at targeting and reducing the
effects of propionium bacteria - the underlying cause of breakouts.
And for blemished or oily skin getting the right
balance of hydration can be challenging indeed.
Clear Skin Serum calms oil production and clears pores without
over drying or causing skin to flake or peel. L-Lactic Acid, unlike
other AHAs, serves a dual function of both exfoliating and clearing
pores of debris, while softening and hydrating the skin.
Redness and Discoloration:
 MyChelle
offers superb solutions for rosacea-prone skin, complexions with
age-spots and other discoloration.
Capillary Calming Serum soothes visible redness and calms
rosacea-prone skin by utilizing ultra soothing Canadian Willow herb
Extract. Patented for its wide range uses to calm the skin and control
free radical damage, Canadian Willow herb Extract has been shown to
reduce the appearance of redness and irritation faster than 1%
hydrocortisone cream - without steroidal side-effects.
See the article “Living with Rosacea” for more information.
Apple Brightening Serum is much more than just a fruit derived
treat for the skin. It contains Applephenon, a potent skin brightener
rich in procyanidin, which has been shown to exhibit strong antioxidant
and antimicrobial effects, resulting in the control of melanin formation
- and a remarkably clearer, more even skin tone.
The Power of MyChelle Serums:
All of MyChelle's intensive serums are designed to be
used daily, on freshly cleansed skin, prior to toner and moisturizer and
may be layered one over the other* for multiple corrective effects, if
needed. The bioactive ingredients are all at levels proven to be
effective in clinical studies, assuring you the most powerful results
possible. In the ever-evolving world of skin care, one thing is certain,
MyChelle facial serums are an innovative blend of natural technologies
and an important part of your healthy skin care regimen.
