Young skin is very reactive: it constantly reacts to internal and external influences. These influences, which we call signals, control, among other things, cell breakdown, cell division and cell growth in the skin. The skin cells are instructed to produce essential structural components of the skin such as collagen or elastin, to supplement missing components or to restore the balance of the skin structure.
However, with increasing age, the skin loses its ability to restart the skin's own processes and the production of structural components slows down. At the same time, various external and internal influences, such as UV radiation, environmental pollution or stress, promote the breakdown of skin components, which leads to an unbalanced and weakened skin structure.
When this happens, we see signs of aging such as fine lines, wrinkles or pigmentation. The skin requires additional support and signals to produce enough structural components and restore balance to the skin structure.
