The Ultimate Solution for Skin Barrier Repair: The Pro-Recovery Serum

While aging is a privilege, “aging well,” is an intentional act. It is a manifestation of your commitment to health and wellbeing.  Prioritizing a healthy lifestyle – a balanced diet, regular exercise, plenty of sleep and stress management, alongside an excellent skincare regimen focusing on barrier protection and repair, is the winning formula. This will ensure not only the health of your skin, but your overall health. 
As we know, the human skin is structurally and physiologically built as a barrier. The corneum stratum, also known as the skin barrier, is the body’s physical barrier. When it is impaired (dry, itchy, flaky etc), inflammaging can run rampant, exacerbating glycation, increasing collagen loss, and potentially leading to serious health problems, such as autoimmune disorders, cancer and cardiovascular disease. Although we can’t always prevent a damaged barrier, due to various internal and external factors, we can repair it! 

PRO-RECOVERY SERUM

Swissline’s newest, luxury skincare product, Pro-Recovery Serum, has everything you need to restore and repair your compromised skin barrier! Replete with an arsenal of barrier protecting, restoring and repairing ingredients it will elevate your skincare regimen and protect your health from assault.

So, what is in the serum?

BARRIER REPAIR COMPLEX

This complex unites the holy trinity of barrier repair ingredients – ceramides, cholesterol and fatty acids (specifically, oleic, linolenic and linolenic), together with other well-known barrier-promoting ingredients, including urea, glutamic acid, calcium gluconate. The complex also boasts a more novel ingredient, a bio-activated aloe vera gel.  Obtained via fermentation in a culture of Saccharomyces bacteria, the aloe vera gel boosts the skin’s own barrier healing, and decreases the scaliness of the stratum corneum, while notably also reducing the release of pro-inflammatory messengers. 

MULTI-PEPTIDES THAT FIGHT GLYCATION & ADDRESS COLLAGEN LOSS

Both at the fibroblast and the keratinocytes levels, these peptides protect the skin components from degradation.

• Carnosine

The chief anti-glycation ingredient in skincare and food supplements, Carnosine counters inflammation while ensuring collagen maintains its elasticity. This dipeptide is made up of the amino acids, beta-alanine and histidine. While there are no plant-based sources of carnosine, it is readily available as a synthetic molecule for use in nutritional supplements and topical formulations. Carnosine reduces the rate of the formation of advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) which can be a factor in the development or worsening of many degenerative diseases, such as diabetes, atherosclerosis, chronic kidney failure, and Alzheimer’s disease.

• Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4

Known to boost collagen synthesis, Palmitoyl Pentatpeptide-4 stimulates the skin fibroblasts to reconstitute the extracellular matrix: leading to the production of collagen I and IV, fibronectin and glycosaminoglycans. In general terms, it strengthens and repairs the skin, reducing wrinkles and stimulating wound healing.

MADECASSOSIDE

Swissline was the first Swiss skincare company to use this ingredient, nearly 20 years ago. However, it’s only within the last 5 years or so that Madecassoside has become more mainstream with the advent of cica serums and creams. It is the purest form of a pharmaceutical-grade fraction of the centella asiatica plant. Clinically proven to oppose pro-inflammatory messengers, such as cytokines, it boosts skin renewal and promotes collagen regeneration.

ECTOIN

This is another ingredient that Swissline has been using for a while, but has only recently been gaining awareness and rising in popularity amongst skin savvy consumers. Ectoin is an amino acid that's used in skincare products to protect skin cells and strengthen the skin barrier. It is often referred to as an “anti-stress” molecule, as it helps to protect cellular membranes from environmental hazards such as UV, pollution, and extreme temperatures. 

AN ESSENTIAL ADDITION TO YOUR SKINCARE TOOLBOX

To sum it all up, Pro Recovery Serum is a game-changing solution which restores the skin’s homeostasis. It improves the look and feel of the skin, making it softer, smoother, plumper and stronger, while addressing important health concerns: a compromised skin barrier, inflammaging and glycation, which, if left unchecked, can lead to far more serious health issues.
