What are the benefits of AFA Regenerating Night Cream?

Our skin protects us from external aggressions (cold, wind, sun, or heat) and acts as a barrier against pollution. By the end of the day, the skin is tired. At night, the body works internally to repair and regenerate the skin through skin cell renewal. However, over time, the synthesis of fibers in the lower level of the epidermis-also known as the dermis-decreases. The skin renews itself with less efficiency. Slowly the skin becomes thinner, wrinkles deepen, and it loses radiance and firmness. By boosting the body’s natural regenerating mechanism, we stimulate cell renewal and help the skin regenerate itself more efficiently. Skin regeneration is important in slowing down cellular aging and reducing the appearance of any signs of aging.

AFA Regenerating Night Cream Ingredients

AFA - Aphanizomenon Flos Aquae

AFA is a blue-green algae naturally found in Klamath Lake in Oregon (USA). Cerule has researched the use of AFA in skincare. Clinical studies show a rapid reproduction of skin cells within 24 hours of treatment. AFA, also known as Aphanizomenon Flos Aquae, accelerates the process of cell regeneration and repair throughout the skin as early as 2 hours after the initial application.

BLUE THISTLE STEM CELL - Eryngium maritimum

The extract of blue thistle stem cells exerts an overall repairing and regenerating effect by stimulating cellular proliferation. It protects the epidermis from UVA aggression and oxidative stress. With an increased production of elastin and collagen, the skin will experience a complete firming and plumping action. The skin’s hydration levels are increased, remaining hydrated for up to 8 hours after application.

JAPANESE CEDAR BUDS

A natural extract of Japanese cedar buds are picked by hand to help stimulate epidermal renewal. Rich in energetic phytochemicals, this extract helps to stimulate the cell renewal process that is naturally slowed down by skin aging and accelerates the complete recovery of the skin permeability barrier. Now completely restructured, the skin is soft, smooth and hydrated, providing a visibly younger appearance.

SEA LAVENDER FLOWERS

This extract of sea lavender flowers protects the skin from premature aging and skin dryness caused by environmental stressors: air conditioning, cigarette smoke and pollution. This ingredient, objectified for its anti-radical activity, stimulates the synthesis of collagen and natural Hyaluronic Acid and results in a 16% increase of cell renewal while providing the skin with intense hydration.

MARINE EXOPOLYSACCHARIDES

Marine exopolysaccharides help to reset major functions of the skin restoring health, uniformity, hydration and radiance:

• Stimulates the renewal of the epidermis
• Strengthens innate immunity (by reducing bacterial growth)
• Reduces inflammation and skin reactivity
• Restarts the hydration mechanisms in the skin through the synthesis of Hyaluronic Acid

GLYCOPOLYMERS

Natural glycopolymers extracted from plants and red algae form a network similar to a natural biofilm protecting and lifting the skin. This network works like a tight mesh that provides a natural barrier against external factors and its tensor effect smooths the skin.

ALARIA SEAWEED - Alaria esculenta

Alaria seaweed extract has a revitalizing and plumping effect. It boosts ATP or cellular energy synthesis, stimulates collagen synthesis, and activates the synthesis of Hyaluronic Acid and glyco-amino-glycans. The effectiveness of the anti-aging properties in this product provides an optimum effect on the skin.

PROBIOTIC - Lactobacillus Pentosus

Probiotic strain Lactobacillus Pentosus, acts on the overall balance of the skin microbiota by protecting the skin from external aggressions, accelerating skin regeneration and strengthening the barrier function of the skin. It helps to promote healthy and beautiful skin.

AROMATIC WATER OF GORSE FLOWERS

Aromatic water of gorse flowers stimulates the release of beta-endorphins of epidermal cells which trigger a relaxing and calming action providing an immediate comforting sensation for the skin.

AQUAXYL® - Complex glucose-xylitol

3 moisturizing properties:

• Instant and prolonged hydrating power restructures the skin barrier by trapping free water molecules, thus strengthening the properties of Hyaluronic Acid.
• Promotes self-hydration by stimulating the synthesis of ceramides naturally found in the epidermis. Boosts the biosynthesis of natural Hyaluronic Acid which acts as the main water resource of the epidermis.
• Regulates the scaling of the epidermis by smoothing its surface.

RED ALGAE GEL

Red Algae Gel brings radiance and brightness to the skin. It contains Chondrus crispus extracts, also known as Sea Lichen - a red algae that lives on the coastal rocks. This algae is rich in sulfated polysaccharides, essential amino acids, vitamin C, magnesium, iodine, iron, copper and zinc.

VITAMIN E

An intense antioxidant that protects the skin’s natural defense barriers to help combat free-radical damage. In particular, Vitamin E reduces UV-related cell damage which can lead to premature aging.

PURE ISOTONIC SEAWATER

Revitalizes and remineralizes the skin by synergistic diffusion of minerals and trace elements. These elements and mineral salts are essential for cellular vitality and work in perfect harmony with the cells’ original environment. The cells recognize this environment as their own and take what they need to promote a revitalized and soothing effect on the skin.

WHERE SCIENCE MEETS BEAUTY

At Cerule, our mission and purpose is to provide proven, quality products to our customers. Upon finding an elite team of scientists, biologists and researchers, Dr. Andrea POGGI and Dr. ssa Silvana Giardina conducted an In-Vitro Efficacy Study to evaluate the repairing effect of Cerule's Aphanizomenon Flos Aquae Regenerating Night Cream on cell culture. The AIM and outcome of this study showed the In-Vitro capability of our exclusive superfood raw material, Aphanizomenon Flos Aquae, harvested by Cerule from Klamath Lake, OR., to promote wound healing of damaged tissue.

The success of this study shows that when we apply our first-of-its-kind product, AFA Regenerating Night Cream to damaged skin cells as a topical treatment, it proved to be highly efficient in repair compared to damaged skin cells that were left untreated. One of the highlights of this study shows that the treatment of cell cultures with AFA Regenerating Night Cream significantly promoted wound repair by accelerating the repair process through skin cell regeneration.

AFA Regenerating Night Cream FAQs

What is AFA Regenerating Night Cream?

AFA-based Regenerating Night Cream is an anti-aging skincare with targeted action on cell regeneration, suitable for all skin types.

Why is skin regeneration important?

Our skin protects us from external aggressions (cold, wind, sun or heat), and acts every day as a barrier against pollution. At the end of the day, the skin is tired. During the night, the body’s internal reparative mechanism regenerates the skin and prepares it for the next day. At night, the skin regenerates itself by renewing skin cells. Yet, over the years, the synthesis of fibers in the lower level of the epidermis, also known as the dermis, decreases. The skin renews itself with less efficiency. Slowly the skin becomes thinner and wrinkles deepen, it loses radiance and firmness. By boosting the regenerating mechanism, we stimulate cell renewal and help the skin to regenerate itself more efficiently. Skin regeneration is important in slowing down cellular aging and reducing the appearance of any signs of aging.
