But at the age of 40–45, the processes occurring in the skin already require correction. Let’s explain why.
The main reason for the first wrinkles and loss of skin elasticity is the lack of hyaluronic acid (after the 20th birthday, its production in the body begins to gradually decline), collagen and elastin.
The older we get, the more proteins and hyaluronic acid are destroyed and the less they are synthesized.
In parallel, the skin loses its protective properties, becomes more sensitive to aggressive factors.

Creams for mature skin are designed to solve all these problems. And for this, their composition is enriched with powerful active ingredients:
