These peptides work in synergy and help regulate cellular activity, that is, they participate in cell communication which regulates skin renewal connected with aging-related processes. By continued use throughout several months these peptides have been clinically proven to improve synthesis of collagen 1, elastin, fibronectin and hyaluronic acid which is naturally present in skin, resulting in visibly improved skin tonus, reduced depth of present wrinkles and lifting of skin contours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePeptide Pal-GHK has been tested on a human fibroblast culture (with the fibroblast main function being production of proteins and glycoprotein components of the extracellular matrix) and results have shown an increase in the synthesis of collagen and glycosaminoglycans. Improved protective and repairing properties of Pal GHK on collagen fibres and achievement of a thicker epidermis and dermis have also been proven (based on a clinical trial involving four week application of this peptide on the skin as opposed to the placebo group).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePeptide Pal-GQPR is part of immunoglobulin IgG responsible for numerous biological functions (including immunomodulatory ones).

The above described peptides found in Lunar are also accompanied by the coenzyme ubiquinone, which along with vitamin E has a repairing, anti-oxidative and protective effect on the skin exposed to exogenous stressors. Oat and calendula extracts are already traditionally used on damaged and inflamed skin, while the addition of as much as 5% panthenol and 6% shea butter make this cream extremely repairing and suitable for combining with various, potent active agents as part of the night time skin care routine.

Skin of all types, even oily skin, needs to have replenished and restored the moisture which is lost after dirt and impurities are removed from its surface.

First, it needs to be said that the barrier function of the skin is the primary and most important function of this organ. Healthy skin is flexible and slightly humid to the touch and serves as a resistant shield against environmental stressors, irritants and allergens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs opposed to healthy skin, dehydrated skin lacks moisture and is accompanied by a feeling of superficial dryness, tightness and flaking. Very often such skin is mistakenly taken to belong to the dry skin type. However, skin which is dry (in deeper layers) and skin dehydrated (on the surface layer) are not the same. Dehydration is a temporary skin condition which can be easily rectified with the help of humectants, natural moisturising agents found in Nectar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNectar is the second step which is necessary in the skincare routine for all skin types since it rapidly restores lost surface moisture and slows down its evaporation from the skin to the maximum, thus strengthening its function as a barrier. A complex composed of fourteen powerful humectants of various molecular sizes is combined with the soothing effects of “green” agents of natural origin. Succulent extracts of aloe vera, ginseng, cucumber and olive leaf extract are paired with urea, hyaluronic and lactic acid as well as aminoacids as natural moisturising factors. The pH level of Nectar is skin-friendly, slightly acidic and optimally formulated to restore the skin’s much needed balance after cleansing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNectar’s second function is to combat the negative effects of hard water usually found in cities. Apart from rehydrating the \u003cem\u003estratum corneum \u003c\/em\u003eand thereby ensuring softening of the epidermis and normal epithelial cell desquamation (cell turnover), Nectar plays an especially important role in that it acts as a chelating agent, binding the metal ions found in hard water.

The chelating effect of Nectar prevents the formation of these insoluble complexes, clarifies the skin and makes it smoother.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnother special feature of Nectar’s formula is that it contains a unique self-conserving system thereby avoiding the use of classical preservatives and making the product highly tolerable for even the most sensitive skin.

SAP reduces oxidative stress of the skin caused by environmental factors such as UV radiation and air pollution leading to microscopic damage to the skin which accumulates over time. This accumulation of skin damage, as well as the reduction of collagen production, becomes evident as signs of aging. SAP acts not only as an antioxidant but also as a melanin inhibitor which is why it is especially important as a skincare component efficient against hormonally induced hyperpigmentation (such as melasma) and post-inflammatory pigmentation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe real difference between classic serums containing vitamin C and Superba, apart from the high SAP concentration, lies in the inclusion of ferulic acid and vitamin E in Superba’s formulation.
