Vitamin A, B2, C and biotin, together with the minerals zinc and copper helps with the maintenance of normal healthy young looker looking skin.

HEALTHY SKIN AND SKIN AGEING

The major components of the skin are collagen, elastin and glycosaminoglycans In addition the skin contains fibroblast cells, macrophages and adipocytes. Rejuvenation of the skin takes place in the lower levels of the skin, while the outer layers mostly consist of dead skin cells that are gradually shed.

From the age of about 25 the body’s own ability to develop collagen starts decreasing and skin rejuvenation starts to slow. This results in the gradual wrinkling of the skin,reduced elasticity and skin that is more prone to dry out.

Exposure to sun and wind, smoking, unhealthy eating habits and stress may speed up skin ageing. Creams, ointments and other topical (non-medical) treatment may help protect the skin, but do in only few cases help against the underlying causes of skin ageing. Peeling and other chemical, topical treatment may help by removing the outer layers of the skin, but do not improve the condition of the lower levels of the skin.

In order to secure healthy, beautiful skin over time, the dermal cells need replenishment of the nutrients that form the skins building blocks.
Therefore most expensive face creams are a waste of money and for the most part ineffective

DOCUMENTATION

What is collagen and what is it good for?

Collagen

Collagen is a natural protein and makes up the bulk of the human body`s structural composition. There are several types of collagen all of which have their own function. Collagen is found in all multicellular organisms and has a fiber rich structure which is found skin, tendons, bones, cartilage and all connective tissue. Without collagen body would literally collapse. Collagen can be translated from latin as glue that connects and that is exactly how it works, just like the body`s own glue and shock absorber. The fibers strengthen the connective tissue in our bodies. Approximately 30% of the total body protein mass is comprised of collagen. Skin protein consist of about 75% of collagen.

Collagen is composed of a variety of amino acids. Hydrolyzed collagen (found in SKINGAIN) is collagen which molecular bonds are broken down so that it becomes possible for the body to assimilate it. The composition of the amino acids is not affected in any way byt the hydrolyzing process.

The body produces collagen daily, but the production decreases with age. Lower level of collagen in the body can , for example, lead to wrinkles appearing, fatigue, joint and general pain. The collagen in the skin is deposited in the skins middle layer, the dermis. Collagen helps keep skin smooth and youthful.

Collagen I:

Pure, natural hydrolysed type I collagen peptides, free of additives.
Based on a sequence naturally found in the skin
Includes 18 amino-acids and is characterised by a very high amount of Glycine, Hydroxyproline/Proline and Glutamic acid.

Collagen II:

Hydrolysed type II collagen from fresh crude ray cartilage
Contains approx. 30 % Chondroïtinesulfate, 16 % Clucosamin sulfate, 6,24 % Hydroxyproline, 5 % Hyaluronic acid

CLINICAL STUDIES

SKINGAIN PROFESSIONAL CLINICAL STUDY

A large group of women between the age of 30 and 65 participated in a study on Skingain Professional over 12 weeks in 2011. Collagen content in the skin and elasticity was measured at week 0, 4, 8 and 12. Visual assessment by skin expert and pictures were taken at week 0, 8 and 12.

The measurements of skin collagen content and elasticity was conducted with DermaLab® Combo Skinlab. Dr. Roald Strand assisted the study as advisor.

Graph 1 (left): The collagen content of the skin increased by 45 % in the course of 3 months treatment.

Graph 2 (right): 67 % of participants showed increased collagen levels after just 1 month’s use of Skingain Professional.Over 87 % showed increases after 3 months.

Skin elasticity

The skin`s elasticity is measured by checking how long it takes for the skin to return to normal shape after extraction. Even this is measured by DemaLab Combo SkinLab. A vacuum is created in the participants` skin so that it lifts the skin by 2.5mm. Two sensors are then measure how long it takes the skin to pull back original shape. This part of the study ended after the first month of participation because the cold weather caused a lot drier air after that time. This in tun can affect the measurement results so that they are not comparable to the starting situation.

After a month, the average retention time (the time it took the skin to retract 1.5mm after being extended by 2.5mm) was reduced by 23%. This statistically represents a significant improvement of the skin elasticity. To measure a long term effect, it is necessary to resume these efforts with comparable climactic conditions throughout the whole study.

SUCCESS STORIES

Heidi - 45 years old

veryone says I look younger and ask me what I have done to look like that, says Hide excitedly. After having used SKINGAIN for two weeks Heidi was surprised by the results, and has since continued to use the product. Heidi Haavelmoen from Åsårdstrand in Norway is one of the 48 women between the age of 30 and 75, that participated in an efficiency study of Skingain this autumn/winter.

Look younger

People say I look younger! When you look in the mirror every day, it is difficult to see gradual changes, but when my friends comment on it, then it surely must be true. Heide says that small wrinkles around the mouth and eyes have become less visible than before. Previously, I suffered from shiny skin, sometimes so bad that it was hard to find a good enough foundation. That problem, however, is completely gone now. I also think the skins feels cleaner and that the pores have become smaller.

Statement from the skin expert

Dermatologist Audrey Wong participated in the efficiency study and had the following to say about the development of Heidi`s skin during the first 12 weeks:

Heidi looks younger. After 12 weeks of using Skingain, cheeks and corners of her mouth were lifted. The eyes are more open and both eyebrows and eyelids have received a boost. Chin is also more visible.
The skin is much more greasy and bland and looks a lot smoother. The blocking pores on the forehead have completely disappeared.
The lines on the neck are less prominent, and the same applies to the lines and wrinkles under the eyes. The skin has fewer ruptured blood vessels and has received even more tone.
