Prickly Pear Face Cream

See visible wrinkle reduction from Irene Forte's breakthrough Myoxinol™ regime. Alongside Irene's Hibiscus Serum and Hibiscus Night Cream in clinical trials, this serum delivers visible wrinkle reduction that gets more and more noticeable the longer the regime is used. The discovery that Myoxinol™, extracted from Hibiscus Seeds, acts in a similar way to injectables in reducing even deep forehead lines, means that there’s a major new approach to reverse signs of skin-aging.

Prickly Pear Polysaccharides: Derived from Prickly Pear in Sicily, Opuntia Ficus-Indica Stem Extract contains polysaccharides which work to increase the skin’s antioxidant capacity, help reduce inflammation, moisturize the skin and prevent skin irritations.

In vitro tests confirm these Prickly Pear Polysaccharides help protect the skin from oxidative stress, and inhibit the production of a pro-inflammatory messenger, interleukins, therefore helping reduce redness and inflammation. Similar to Hyaluronic Acid, Prickly Pear Polysaccharides hydrate and protect the skin. In vivo tests revealed improved skin moisturization over time and calmed, less irritated skin.

Vitamin A: Has regenerating and antioxidant properties. It speeds up cell turnover, resulting in smoother, more even and glowing skin. It inhibits Collagen breakdown, but also stimulates the production of new Collagen.

MyoxinolTM (also known as Hibiscus Seed Peptides): Hibiscus Esculentus Seed Extract contains oligopeptides; these botanical peptides combat wrinkles in a similar way to botox, by inhibiting the mechanical factors responsible for the appearance of expression lines on the face. This novel active also works to biologically delay the aging of cells.

Hyaluronic Acid: A potent humectant found naturally within the skin and able to bind up to 1000 times its weight in water, which enhances moisture retention and skin hydration. A powerful age-defying ingredient, it helps improve the skin’s suppleness and smoothness.
