ORIGIN
A MARINE GLYCOSAMINOGLYCAN THAT INHIBITS THE MATRIX ENZYMES THAT ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR DESTROYING THE SKIN’S COLLAGEN NETWORK.
clinical results
-
21% decrease in the appearance of leg varicose at Day 28
-
35% reduction of spider veins at Day 28
-
60% improvement in skin resistance to transepidermal water loss (TEWL)
-
80+% improvement in inhibition of MMP enzyme activity
BENEFITS
-
Matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) enzymes destroy the collagen matrix
-
Natural aging, pollution and harmful UV rays increase the activity of MMP, contributing to the appearance of dark circles, varicose veins and inflammatory conditions like rosacea
-
MDI Complex® blocks more than 80% of MMP enzyme activity
MECHANISM
A healthy skin structure generally contains matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and their natural inhibitors that brings enzymatic equilibrium. Environmental factors may lead to an increase in MMP activity, thus leading to a degradation of collagen fibers. With the ECM degraded, a loss of capillary vessels tons may occur, contributing to the appearance of dark circles and varicose veins.
MDI Complex® can be used to neutralize excessive MMP activity, leading to a better enzyme equilibrium needed for a natural healthy skin appearance. This equilibrium allows greater skin elasticity and increased resistance to external irritants.
