Skincare that is ahead of its time

How do skincare products reverse the aging process?

The term “anti-aging” is becoming less and less common in medical terminology. We cannot stop or turn back time, but we can reverse its effects. Skincare in the spirit of longevity is more than smooth and firm skin. It’s about caring for its undamaged structure and regeneration at the cellular level, thanks to which biological aging processes are slowed down, stopped, or even reversed.

Peptides in the spotlight

Peptides are short chains of amino acids (the building blocks of proteins) that perform key functions, from building skin to transporting active ingredients. They are also among the most frequently studied and widely used active ingredients in cosmetology. Numerous scientific publications confirm the growing interest in peptides, creating new possibilities for their application. Although all peptides are derived from amino acids, they differ in chain length and arrangement, which influences their biological effects.

The arrangement of amino acids determines whether a given peptide:

  • stimulates fibroblasts to synthesize collagen,
  • acts as a neuropeptide with effects similar to aesthetic medicine treatments,
  • serves a transport or anti-inflammatory function.

Peptides vary in potency. What matters is not merely their presence in the formula, but their sequence and the way in which they are delivered to the skin.

What care does your skin need?

Oligopeptides bound to platinum molecules

 

Platinum is a precious metal, like gold or silver. In the 19th century, with the development of science, this unique raw material began to gain particular recognition. Platinum’s extremely high melting temperature and exceptional resistance to chemical agents make it extremely valuable to the jewelry and medical industries.

 

However, since platinum is inert, how can it be used in cosmetology? Research by a team of Japanese scientists has shown that platinum particles demonstrate a powerful antioxidant effect, neutralizing reactive oxygen species in the skin. They support skin firmness and density, protecting against aging-related changes. They also help regulate genes responsible for the formation of collagen and hyaluronic acid, and for reducing signs of inflammation.

 

Allosteric Peptide Booster

 

Allostery refers to a change in the shape and activity of a protein as an enzyme. This change results from combining a protein with another substance, also at a location separate from its active site.. This change gives the protein new properties. The plant-derived allosteric peptide booster enhances the efficacy of peptides in formulations. The booster’s mechanism of action is based on its ability to modulate the fluidity of cell membranes. By increasing membrane fluidity, it facilitates intercellular communication, signal transport, and reactivity of membrane receptors. As a result, it enhances the effects of many other active ingredients.

Peptide complexes also help improve skin firmness and elasticity – as demonstrated by a team of Polish researchers, untransformed fibroblasts continue to produce supportive fibers that provide the skin with firmness, elasticity, and hydration.

 

Exosomes

 

Composed of phospholipids, they mimic the natural skin barrier. Exosomes are microscopic vesicles that transmit important information and components needed for regeneration to cells. They transport active substances precisely where they are most needed, and due to their high content of powerful regenerative factors, they can reverse cellular signs of aging – they carry proteins, lipids, and RNA molecules, and their message is simple and precise: initiate regeneration, soothe inflammation, and initiate repair. Thanks to their ability to penetrate deep into the skin, exosomes work more effectively and accurately than other carriers.

 

Exosomes, rich in peptides, proteins, and growth factors, stimulate intensive regeneration. They contain a unique peptide composition – impossible to produce in a laboratory. As we age, the number of exosomes decreases – applied topically, they reactivate skin repair. Natural carriers of active ingredients increase the effectiveness of skincare.

 

Spongilla fragilis microneedles (spicules)

 

In nature, microneedles constitute the skeleton of the Spongilla fragilis sponge. These inconspicuous animals are among the oldest known to science: similar forms existed as long as 760 million years ago. Their primitive structure allows them to survive virtually unchanged in hot and cold, fresh and salty waters, often at great depths (up to 8,500 m), where the silica structure of the spicules allows them to withstand water pressure. In biotechnology, spicules undergo hydrolysis, allowing them to be converted into a powdered form suitable for topical application. Thanks to the beneficial effects of these microscopic spicules, an effect similar to mesotherapy can be achieved – improved transport of active ingredients is possible. By stimulating circulation, these tiny needles, invisible to the naked eye, stimulate skin remodeling and increase tissue’s regenerative capacity. Studies have shown that their use is as effective as a dermaroller, while causing milder reactions and ensuring a faster healing time.

 

Rainbow Algae

 

Algae extract is responsible for the effect of illuminated, glowing complexion. Rainbow algae work on multiple levels to regulate the production of pigment responsible for uneven skin tone. Additionally, studies have shown that it inhibits the release of factors associated with inflammatory processes and strongly stimulates cellular regeneration.

Rediscovered peptides are becoming the foundation of intelligent skincare, combining scientific discoveries with the power of nature. The synergy of biomimetic peptides, exosomes, microneedles, a booster, and rainbow algae creates a system for global skin renewal. This is a new era in cosmetology, where peptides teach the skin to work smarter, not harder.

RICH PEPTIDE ADVANCED
Exo-stimulating facial treatment

Based on the latest discoveries from the Dr Irena Eris Center for Science and Research, a new facial treatment has been developed.

 

The formulas of Dr Irena Eris PROSYSTEM PROFESSIONAL cosmetics are based on the latest technological solutions – molecular bioexosomes and platinum-enriched oligopeptides. RICH PEPTIDE ADVANCED and RICH PEPTIDE SP-ADVANCED are two innovative treatment solutions tailored to individual skin needs. One procedure is complemented by expert care for the eye and lip area, and the other by the stimulating action of natural biomicroneedles.

 

Their effectiveness and synergy are enhanced by an allosteric peptide booster. The complex of active ingredients stimulates skin regeneration and helps maintain its good condition and youthful appearance. Both treatment options are complemented by a revitalizing mask with caviar extract, providing a noticeable improvement in skin smoothness.

 

To prolong and enhance the effects of the treatment, we recommend professional home care products from the RICH PEPTIDE ADVANCED Dr Irena Eris PROSYSTEM HOME CARE line.

Skincare in the service of longevity

The RICH PEPTIDE ADVANCED Dr Irena Eris PROSYSTEM HOME CARE line is based on a proprietary complex of oligopeptides with platinum molecules. These cosmetics stimulate skin cell renewal, restoring its density and strengthening its structure.

 

The trio of day cream, night cream, and stimulating face mask effectively slows down the aging process. Research at the Dr Irena Eris Centre for Science and Research confirms the spectacular effects of using these cosmetics. The Regenerating and Rejuvenating Night Face Cream reduces wrinkles by up to 54%. The Stimulating Night Meso-Mask reduces wrinkles by up to 80% thanks to its highly concentrated active ingredients – a 50 ml formula contains as many as 2.5 million microneedles. The SPF 50 in the Revitalizing Smoothing Day Cream prevents sun-induced pigmentation disorders.
