Understanding how skin changes: fibroblasts really are key.
Our skin is our most visible feature and the largest organ in the human body. It is protective, perceptive and responsive to emotions, like when we blush. At any age and in any culture, it’s what we present to the outside world.
The skin’s natural ability to regenerate and renew gradually changes. Lifestyle and environmental factors (sun exposure, pollution, smoking, diet, stress, sleep and other external forces) take their toll, affecting how the skin functions.
Overall skin quality declines as time passes, it becomes more dehydrated, loses its elasticity and natural ability to renew.

AGED SKIN

Keratinocytes, are major cells in the epidermis (superficial level of the skin) and their activity slows down with age. This might lead to a slower skin renewal and also a dysfunction of the skin’s barrier.
Fibroblasts are major cells in the deeper layer of the skin (dermis) and their activity promotes the production of collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid.
This is how they play a key role in maintaining a youthful appearance. Over time natural fibroblast activity decreases and with it, the quality and quantity of collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid. Moreover, an imbalance between antioxidant protection and free radicals settles in. This is when signs of ageing begin to show on the skin.
By re-booting fibroblast and keratinocytes activity, signs of change are slowed down or even reversed and the skin’s own natural ability to renew gets a boost.

SKIN CONCERNS
HYDRATION
The skin’s hydration lies in its water content. Indeed, water is a crucial element of our skin tissue. It represents approximately 60% of the body mass of an adult (75% of a new-born and 55% of an elderly person).
A lack of hydration can be caused by a number of factors like lifestyle choices (diet, whether you smoke, how much water you drink, alcohol consumption, how much exercise you take…) as well as sun-exposure, seasonal changes, pollution, stress…
When skin gets dehydrated, it appears tired and dull and is above all very uncomfortable. This is reflected in a feeling of tightness. Fine lines, wrinkles and dark circles under the eyes seem more obvious.
Bringing hydration to the skin is crucial for a healthy complexion.
Hydrated skin will be more resistant to the test of time. Comprising hyaluronic acid and revitalizing ingredients, NCTF® 135 HA is a hydration solution providing the essential ingredients for skin quality.

WRINKLES
As time pass by, we age and so does the skin.
Initial signs like fine lines can quickly develop into deeper more pronounced wrinkles.
Exposure to sun, pollution, stress and poor lifestyle choices can contribute to the appearance of wrinkles. Repetitive facial expressions will lead to visible lines around the mouth and eyes. The neck and hands too are quick to show signs of ageing.
Fibroblasts are major cells in the deeper layer of the skin (dermis) and their activity promotes the production of collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid. Due to a tired and less functional fibroblast, there is a reduction in collagen and elastin production over time, the skin tends to lose its natural elasticity and tone.
Wrinkles can be improved.
NCTF® is designed to recreate an ideal ecosystem for the skin cells. Comprising hyaluronic acid and revitalizing ingredients, NCTF® 135 HA will fill wrinkles and improve skin quality.

FIRMNESS
Firm and toned skin inevitably looks younger and radiates health. Loss of firmness happens quite quickly as we age and is one of the more obvious signs of growing older.
Skin ageing is a reflection of the natural decline in the skin’s functions and, with firmness, this involves the reduction of the production of dermal proteins, elastin and collagen. They directly affect the skin’s elasticity and tone, making it more prone to sagging and lacking that “plumpness” associated with youth.
Firmness can be improved.
Comprising hyaluronic acid and revitalizing ingredients, NCTF® 135 HA will improve skin density and elasticity while recreating an ideal ecosystem for the skin cells. Skin quality will also be improved.

IMPERFECTIONS(12)
Blemishes can be more than skin deep and affect your self-confidence. Some skins are more prone to pimples and imperfections. With its excess of sebum, oily skin will look shiny, unclean and greasy and the pores enlarged.
These kinds of imperfections can be caused by poor lifestyle choices, hormones, genetic makeup, medication, diet, stress, or an unsuitable or insufficient skincare routine.
You can improve the appearance of your skin and boost your self-confidence.
Comprising hyaluronic acid and revitalizing ingredients, NCTF® BOOST 135 HA is a cosmetic topical solution providing the essential ingredients for skin quality. It will help improve skin complexion .
RADIANCE
Glowing, radiant skin is seen as a sign of health and vitality. The way the skin catches the light can give a youthful, almost cinematic glow.
As we age, this radiance can be harder to maintain and is the skin can become dull and tired looking. The epidermis’ natural ability to renew through “shedding” (exfoliation) in its upper layers becomes less efficient over time. Other factors like sun-exposure, pollution, stress, lack of sleep, poor lifestyle choices and even diet can contribute to the slowing down of this natural process.
Comprising hyaluronic acid and revitalizing ingredients, NCTF® 135 HA is a hydration solution providing the essential ingredients for skin quality. It will illuminate your complexion by improving skin texture and radiance.
