SKINCEUTICALS A.G.E. Interrupter 1.7oz/ 48ml New in Box

SkinCeuticals A.G.E Interrupter is designed to improve the elasticity and firmness of dry, aging skin. This moisturizer targets the causes of aging with its innovative formula. The advanced glycation end-products, or AGEs, in the product name refer to abnormal structures that damage skin tissue's elasticity as people age and skin matures. This product is a great way to take care of your skin and slow the signs of aging. AGEs are formed when glucose binds with proteins and forms irregular structures. They cause hardening and cross-linkage of cells. This is the process of glycation, which dulls the skin's smooth, supple appearance. Glycation is simple, but it causes the skin to show signs of age as collagen and elastin bind to glucose. Once glycated, collagen and elastin fibers no longer give the skin its soft, resilient feel. These natural proteins cannot be replaced, and their hardening helps contribute to the development of skin wrinkling.
