HYPSKIN

HYPSKIN is a high performance antiaging bioactive based on sulfated polysaccharides from marine algae collected sustainably on the northeastern coast of Brazil. A clinical study showed that HYPSKIN performs similarly on the skin compared with Retinol. HYPSKIN is easy to formulate and nonirritating on the skin.

Where HYPSKIN beats Retinol

  • Better consumer perception.
  • Doesn’t cause irritation, burning and redness.
  • Natural from botanical origin.
  • Does not penetrate the skin.
  • Sustainable and traceable.
  • It’s stable in the presence of light, heat, and oxygen.

Radiance & Homogeneity (%)

Radiance & Homogeneity Chart

Volunteers’ self-assessment studies showed that treatment with HYPSKIN results in more radiant and homogeneous skin when compared with Retinol.

A Retinol-like active ingredient

Clinical tests showed that after 56 days there is NO STATISTICALLY SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCE between a treatment using HYPSKIN or Retinol.

  • Wrinkles and fine lines: Similar coefficient of visibility and occupancy rate parameters.
  • Intensity of color and homogeneity of spots: Similar contrast in the spot’s adjacent or spot area. Similar brightness (ITA parameter) and color (Delta E parameter).
  • Cellular Cohesion: Similar desquamation index strip 1 and strip 3.
  • Skin Density: Similar echogenicity intensity and skin thickness.

Clinical tests of skin thickness with the Device DermaLab® Ultrasound Module showed that HYPSKIN and RETINOL have similar performance after 56 days of use.

Action Mechanism

  • HYPSKIN activates specific sensors on the skin’s surface, stimulating the release of a cascade of several cytokines.
  • Cytokines act at deeper levels of the epidermis and dermis.
  • The action over the epidermal cells is selective for the proliferation and activity of keratinocytes.
  • Resulting in a more homogeneous distribution of melanin and a more even skin tone, with fewer blemishes.
  • The activated keratinocytes also release cohesion proteins such as filaggrins, generating a better structured stratum corneum.
  • Other cytokines go deeper, reaching the dermis and stimulating the blood flow and the metabolic exchanges in the dermis.
  • They also stimulate the activity of fibroblasts, the production of collagen, elastin, and other components of the Extracellular Matrix.
  • The density of the dermis is improved, increasing the skin’s firmness and reducing the amount and depth of wrinkles.
  • The result of this process is more homogeneous, structured, cohesive, firm, healthy, and younger-looking skin.
