D·E·J Face Cream® 0.5 oz

The DEJ is the Dermal-Epidermal Junction. It is the basement membrane where the dermis and epidermis meet that helps support the skin’s structure. As we age, key proteins break down in this area increasing the visible signs of aging. During youth, this junction is very “wavy”. With age, this junction flattens and skin becomes more slackened. It’s a key area for skin cell communication and cohesion. Research has shown that addressing the health of the DEJ greatly affects the outward appearance of the skin.

Acetyl Tetrapeptide-2 and Palmitoyl Hexapeptide-14 help increase the synthesis of Collagen IV, Fibronectin and Elastin in the DEJ to diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and restore density. Rhamnose and Silanetriol help stimulate the production of multiple DEJ proteins, including Collagen IV, Collagen VII, and Laminin-5. Furthermore, these ingredients, when combined, have been shown to improve a thin and flat DEJ to resemble that of youthful skin with a wider and wavier DEJ. Pseudoalteromonas Ferment Extract helps increase the synthesis of Collagen IV and reinforces dermal-epidermal structural integrity and cohesion. It also increases synthesis of Collagen I, III, and Elastin to help improve nasolabial fold elasticity and firmness. Tetrahexyldecyl (THD) Ascorbate also helps to enhance the DEJ to promote skin firmness and brighten skin. These ingredients together help improve the DEJ to diminish fine lines and wrinkles, redensify, firm and lift the skin.

Alpha-Glucan Oligosaccharide, a prebiotic, selectively supports the growth of healthy organisms which helps balance and support diversity on the skin’s Microbiome to promote overall skin health. Pseudoalteromonas Ferment Extract is also a postbiotic that supports the skin’s microbiome.

Multiple ingredients including botanical extracts and antioxidants help moisturize and hydrate skin including Hyaluronic Acid, Sunflower Seed Oil Unsaponifiables, Rosemary, Squalane and Vitamin E. Also contains Lipid Technology which is a blend of ceramides, cholesterol, fatty acids and botanical extracts that biomimics skin’s natural lipid levels to restore and protect its barrier.

This product contains a synergistic blend of 11 antioxidants that help achieve multiple benefits including shielding skin from environmental stressors and enhancing skin’s moisturization. THD Ascorbate (Vitamin C) is clinically-proven, superior and the most stable form of Vitamin C that helps revitalize and brighten dull skin while making it appear firmer.
