Line LiftActiv (“Liftactive”), Vichy
Seeing the word Lift (lifting) on the packaging of cosmetics, we have high hopes for it. After all, the loss of skin elasticity, and hence wrinkles, are considered the main signs of age, which you want to get rid of immediately. And lifting cream is one of the effective options.
“Cosmetics can provide two types of lifting,” says the expert Vichy Ekaterina Turubara. And he talks about each one in detail.
biological lifting
This is an increase in skin elasticity by strengthening its frame – collagen and elastin fibers. The skin becomes denser, fits the musculoskeletal structures better. As a result, wrinkles are less visible and the face looks younger.
In the LiftActiv range, the component responsible for the biological facelift is rhamnose in concentration 5%. This active ingredient, protected by five patents, increases the density of the skin, stimulating the production of its own collagen and elastin.
The result of biological tightening lasts up to six months, but it also manifests itself slow – the effect becomes noticeable after 1–2 months after the start of using the product and reaches a maximum after 3-6 months of use.
Mechanical lifting
Mechanical lifting appears after 5-10 minutes, but it also lasts literally until the first wash. This is the visual effect that in the LiftActiv line provides carnauba wax:
smoothes wrinkles;
slightly tightens the skin.
Additional reflective particles provide an optical defocus effect and visually reduce wrinklesgiving radiance to the skin.
Vichy creams combine two types of lifting.
Mechanical lifting technology is used only in day creams. At night, for obvious reasons, optical effects are useless.
LiftActiv Supreme Day Cream
Provides an immediate lifting effect and does everything so that the skin gradually increases its elasticity. In addition to rhamnose and wax, the composition includes the following components:
caffeine (tones and has a drainage effect);
adenosine (stimulates energy metabolism in cells, prevents wrinkles during the day);
neohesperidin (antioxidant that increases the protective ability of the skin and soothes it).
The cream was released in two versions: for normal and dry skin (with a richer texture). Apply immediately after serum.
Concentrated anti-aging serum in ampoules Liftactiv Specialist Peptide-C
The active concentrate combines three ingredients that can provide an instant skin transformation and a cumulative lifting effect.
Biopeptide complex increases collagen production and strengthens the skin’s defenses.
Vitamin C in a high concentration of 10% is responsible for an even tone and radiance of the skin.
High molecular weight hyaluronic acid forms a moisture-retaining film on the surface of the skin. Low molecular weight – accelerates regeneration processes in the deep layers of the epidermis.
After a month, wrinkles are reduced.
LiftActiv Supreme Night Cream
Works on the elasticity of the skin at the most suitable time for this – at night. The formula is adapted for active recovery.
Rhamnose 5% stimulates the production of collagen and elastin.
HEPES accelerates metabolic processes in the dermo-epidermal junction, smoothes the skin microrelief.
Apricot and shea butter feed intensively.
Vitamin C evens out complexion and reduces pigmentation, has a calming effect.
