Alphagen

Prevent loss of elasticity. A skin firming, cleansing mask.

Elastin is a springy protein found in all skin tissue. It helps skin hold its shape. As it ages, fats deposit in its folds, and begin to attract minerals which harden it. Once rigid, these protein/fat/mineral deposits crumble from frequent bending, stretching or stress. Try as they might, skin cells are not able to reproduce enough new, springy elastin to replace what has been damaged, (particularly with our diets and lifestyle) so lines and wrinkles develop.

Alphagen™, the first part of the Elogen System, contains a new discovery – an amino acid which has been proven to break down and remove the mineral deposits from in between the cells. This also works as a gentle exfollient which prepares the skin for the next step.

Celagen

Count on producing more collagen.

High concentrations of a special cell-penetrating formulation of vitamin C are used to help skin cells in the production of collagen – the glue that holds skin together.

As we age, we produce less collagen, and what we do produce is broken down by oxidation (free radicals). This is readily apparent in the wrinkled faces of long-time smokers, from sun exposure and other physical abuses.

Our particular formulation of Vitamin C is essential for the production of collagen. It is also one of nature’s best antioxidants, protecting against free radical damage.

Celagen™ is a whipped moisturizer that penetrates the skin cells and feeds them high levels of Vitamin C, helping them rebuild collagen levels. Skin is not just younger looking; it actually is firmer, less damaged and healthier. Apply a little extra around areas of high stress.

Hydragen

Many people use products containing Alpha Hydroxy Acids to reduce the appearance of fine lines, only to find out that extended use of these products results in skin that is dryer than ever.

That is because, as they exfoliate, moisture is pulled into the skin by another group of substances, the most prominent of which is Hyaluronic Acid (HA). One gram of HA can attract up to 3 liters of water!

The problem with the continued use of Alpha Hydroxy Acids, or any exfollient, is that skin cells are required to produce greater and greater amounts of HA than normal.

Eventually, they simply run out of the raw material, and your skin quickly takes a turn for the dryer.

We have developed Hydragen -- loaded with the raw materials needed to produce HA. Two nutrients have been included to help the skin boost its natural production of HA. (A recent study showed that proper concentrations of these nutrients increased the amount of HA in the skin by over 450% in a matter of weeks!) Short-term moisturizers and several other natural substances shown to prevent the breakdown of HA are also included in the Hydragen component – the moisturizing component -- of the Elogen Therapeutic Skin Care System.
