"Tinticosyn, which is prepared from a unique yeast extract, is responsible for the production of new collagen as well as new elastin in the skin. This strengthens the Extracellular Matrix of the skin, thereby minimalizing the visible signs of the ageing process, including fine lines and wrinkles. Furthermore, Tinticosyn also helps to repair the skin, returning the ageing skin's energy levels to those of skin that is still young.

Tinticosyn according to INCI: MANNITOL (AND) CYCLODEXTRIN (AND) YEAST EXTRACT (AND) DISODIUM SUCCINATE

Ageing skin
Our body changes unavoidably when we grow older. All body cells show a similar pattern: they age slowly while time passes. Skin cells are also exposed to other external ageing factors like sunlight, pollution and extreme temperatures. The young skin’s elasticity and firmness is secured by a fine network of dermal fibres: collagen and elastin, which are produced by fibroblasts in the skin’s connective tissue. Unfortunately, these protein fibres are damaged by proteolytic enzymes, which are released by damaging environmental conditions, like sunlight and pollution. The skin’s capacity to resist this process diminishes unremittingly, especially because the metabolism slows down due to ageing, which is caused by a dwindling microcirculation in the skin. It is this microcirculation which is responsible for the supply of sufficient nutrients to the fibroblasts. Tinticosyn helps to reduce the effect of the ageing process, by stimulating the production of Collagen, Elastin and Glycosaminoglycans, i.e. the protein structures supporting the skin’s firmness, which reduce the visible signs of ageing."
