Environ Skin Care
 |
Environ Skin Care’s Body Profile is a body-sculpturing gel that is formulated to smoothen, tighten, and condition the skin. It contains ingredients that help reduce the “orange-peel” effect seen on the thighs, upper arms, and abdomen. Some ingredients are Pronalen Modeling™, which contains antioxidant properties; guarana (Paullinia cupana seed extract), which helps drain fatty overloads by improving circulation; and Myriciline™, which is involved in metabolic processes that are related to the storage of fat, including: adipogenesis, which decreases the development of mature fat cells; lipolysis, which increases the destruction of accumulated fat; and lipogenesis, which avoids the creation of new fat cells. The ingredients eliminate excess fluids and strengthen the moisture-barrier properties of the skin to boost the skin’s elasticity.

PCA Skin
Anti-Redness Serum (pHaze 42) by PCA Skin is a corrective serum that controls persistent flushing in sensitive or rosacea-prone skin, as well as redness caused by inflammation or overexposure to UV rays. According to the company, clinical studies have shown that using the serum twice per day decreases transepidermal water loss by 14% over a 4-week period, and decreases redness by 50% in 8 weeks. The serum contains aldavine, a blend of brown and red algae that suppresses the components within the skin cells that are responsible for encouraging microcapillary hyperpermeability and dilation. Aldavine also prevents and suppresses the microcirculation in the skin caused by UV-induced inflammation. Capparenols and bisabolol inhibit production of cytokines that are responsible for the amplification of inflammation.
