Why is NERINE Anti-Ageing a Deeply Moisturiser?
What is deeply moisturiser?
As the name already infers, deeply moisturising refers to a skincare products or treatment that provide intense hydration and nourishment to the skin. More specifically, it indicates that the product or treatment penetrates deep into the layers of the skin to provide hydration and nutrients to keep it healthy and hydrated for an extended period of time.
Keeping your skin well hydrated is crucial in delaying the onset of wrinkles and other signs of ageing, since dehydration is a major factor in their formation. It is not a coincidence that the loss of the skin's natural capacity to retain moisture coincides with the onset of the signs of ageing (1, 2).
To compensate for the skin's diminished ability to retain moisture, highly moisturising products have been created. Science has provided answers to the issue and discovered substances in the skin that are responsible for keeping this function intact.
NERINE deeply moisturising properties
NERINE Anti-Ageing is best known for its remarkable anti-ageing properties; however, NERINE Anti-Ageing has been specifically formulated to provide deep hydration to the skin and can be also considered as deeply moisturiser. It is packed with powerful moisturisers, such as Hyaluronic acid and Sodium PCA, which are known to be the most potent skin moisturisers available. These ingredients work together to penetrate deep into the skin's layers, providing intense hydration and nourishment to the skin.
Hyaluronic Acid and Sodium PCA
Hyaluronic acid is probably more familiar to you than sodium PCA. Thus, I propose we begin with hyaluronic acid.
Hyaluronic acid (HA) is also known as hyaluronan. It is a naturally occurring carbohydrate molecule that can be found throughout the body. The majority of people are under the impression that HA is a recently discovered molecule; however, this is not the case at all; in point of fact, it was found over a century ago, in the 1930s. Interestingly, it was discovered by the American scientists Karl Meyer and John Palmer, best known for discovering the amino acids, while they were studying the composition of vitreous humour, the clear gel that fills the eyes (3).
At the beginning, it was though that HA was a lubricant structural component of the tissues. However, in the following years, researchers discovered that hyaluronic acid had many important properties, including its ability to hold up to 1000 times its weight in water. This unique ability to retain moisture makes hyaluronic acid an excellent hydrating agent for the skin and has led to its widespread use in the skincare industry. Scientific studies have shown that Hyaluronic acid, when applied topically, may assist to hydrate the skin, making it appear and feel plump, smooth, and supple (4,5).
Sodium PCA, also known as Sodium Pyrrolidone Carboxylic Acid, is a derivative of the amino acid glutamic acid, which occurs naturally in human skin, first describe in the 1940s. Subsequently, it was discovered that due to its chemical structure, which contains both a polar carboxyl group and a pyrrolidone ring, it has a high affinity for water molecules, allowing them to form hydrogen bonds and hold onto the water. This ability to attract and retain moisture aids in keeping the skin hydrated. But what makes Sodium PCA particularly effective moisturiser is that it has a very small molecular size, which enables it to penetrate the outer layers of the skin and bind to the intercellular matrix of the skin, improving the skin's natural moisturising ability and maintain its hydration levels.
What distinguishes Hyaluronic Acid and Sodium PCA products is that they are both natural elements of our skin and so function with ALL skin types because both are delicate and efficient in providing deep hydration, whether you have oily or dry skin. (6, 7).
How to get the most out of NERINE Anti-Ageing
Here are some suggestions for improving your routine so that you may provide your skin the TLC it deserves. Before using NERINE Anti-ageing, you should always wash your face. This will assist clear your pores of any debris like dirt, oil, or makeup that might be preventing the cream from reaching the skin layers needing it the most.
After cleansing, apply a small layer of NERINE Anti-Ageing to your face and gently rub it in using circular movements. Your skin will be left feeling supple and moisturised after using it this way. To maintain healthy, glowing skin, use it twice daily, in the morning and before bed and let the magic happen. Improvement in skin hydration would be noticeable after a single application, follow by a gradual decrease and disappearance of fine lines and subsequently larger wrinkles.
Summary
NERINE Anti-Ageing not only moisturises and protects your skin efficiently, but it is also soothing and non-irritating, making it suited for all skin types. Thus, if you're searching for a product that gives deep hydration, supports healthy and youthful-looking skin, and is mild enough to use on a regular basis, try NERINE Anti-Ageing, and we guarantee you won't be disappointed!
Deeply moisturising refers to a skincare product or treatment that provides intense hydration and nourishment to the skin. This means that the product or treatment penetrates deep into the layers of the skin or hair to provide hydration and nutrients to keep it healthy and hydrated for an extended period of time.
Hyaluronan, also known as hyaluronic acid, is a naturally occurring carbohydrate molecule that is found in various tissues in the body, including skin, joints, and connective tissue. It is a long chain polymer made up of repeating disaccharide units composed of glucuronic acid and N-acetylglucosamine.
Sodium PCA or Sodium Pyrrolidone Carboxylic Acid (PCA) is a derivative of the amino acid glutamic acid which occurs naturally in human skin. it has a high affinity for water molecules, allowing them to form hydrogen bonds and hold onto the water. This ability to attract and retain moisture aids in keeping the skin hydrated.
