Stem Cell Cream 50 ml Stem Cells Anti Aging Cream For Dry Mature Skin
Stem Cell Cream ✔ Luxury anti-aging cream ✔ with Argireline® ✔ can sustainably reduce wrinkle depth by up to 50% ✔ can improve epidermal regeneration and skin barrier function ✔ developed & produced in Germany Skin type The face cream is particularly suitable for mature skin. Application Apply the cream to cleansed skin in the morning and evening. Best results are achieved in combination with RAU Stem Cell Eye Cream. CAN - smooth wrinkles- moisturize- counteract skin aging Danger warnings Not suitable for children under 6 years.Avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes. The highly effective luxury anti-aging cream provides restructuring & smoothing of the skin on the basis of plant stem cells, valuable plant oils, hyaluronic acid & ARGIRELINE®. This can sustainably reduce wrinkle depth by up to 50%. Our "RAU Stem Cell Cream" is a highly effective luxury anti-aging cream. Proven anti-aging substances have been combined with selected, innovative high-tech active ingredients to create an effective anti-wrinkle cream. The innovative ingredient ARGIRELINE® , developed by Nobel Prize winner Dr. Martin Rodbell, is particularly outstanding. Argireline® (acetyl hexapeptide) has the ability to attenuate nerve signals to such an extent that facial muscles are less active and can relax better. Studies and laser measurements have shown that creams containing Argireline® can sustainably reduce wrinkle depth by up to 50%. It is applied externally, does not need to be injected and does not cause any toxic reactions. Argireline® is the non-toxic and mild alternative to Botulinum Toxin A, and targets the same wrinkling mechanism, but in different ways. Argireline® does not cause complete silencing of the muscles, but only a significant softening of facial expressions. The face does not look mask-like, but relaxed and very naturally rejuvenated. Furthermore, it contains various high-quality stem cell active ingredients. Apple stem cells, obtained from a rare Swiss apple variety, help to promote the vitality and longevity of skin stem cells and protect them from environmental stress. Grape stem cells, on the other hand, can protect epidermal skin stem cells from UV stress and thus from light-induced skin aging. Valuable alpine rose stem cell extract can increase skin stem cell activity, improving epidermal regeneration and skin barrier function. In addition, it contains various hyaluronic acids, ascorbic acid, shea butter and squalane. With regular use, the anti-age effect is usually visible after a very short time.
