3LAB Super h Serum focuses on preserving the lifespan of healthy skin cells

(25/09/2009)

3LAB has introduced Super “h” Serum a powerful age-delay serum that preserves the life of healthy skin cells while reducing the signs of past environmental damage. The formula maximizes plant-derived stem cells, bio-engineered growth hormone and DNA-repairing molecules to penetrate into the dermal layers to fight aging on a multi-dimensional level for firmer, brighter skin with improved hydration levels and fewer wrinkles.

It uses cutting edge ingredients to:
• Help prolong the life of healthy skin cells
• Firm the skin cellular level
• Reduce the appearance of wrinkles at the dermal/epidermal junction – starting at the basement layer and working its way up to the skin’s surface
• Stop lipid peroxidation (the process in which free radicals “steal” electrons from the cell membrane resulting in cell damage)
• Provide instant radiance and firmness

As the body ages, cells become weaker and exposure to external sources like free radical damage accelerate the process. Super “h” Serum contains three superior ingredients to delay this natural aging process:
1. Nano-Claire GY™ , the world’s first bio-engineered human growth hormone (hGH)
2. PhytoCellTec™ Malus Domestica, stem cells from the rare Uttweiler Spätlauber apple
3. EUK-134, the $20,000/kilo UV damage reversal ingredient.

Nano-Claire GY™
Aging slows down the body’s internal clock including the production of hormones necessary for youthful acting and looking skin. Nano-Claire GY™ is the only cosmetic hGH available in the USA with proven results from third party clinical studies. Unlike growth factors which can only stimulate portions of cells or tissues, Nano-Claire GY™ mimics real hGH to stimulate the whole organism for unmatched results.

Nano-Claire GY is a protein that uses a unique nanoliposome-encapsulated delivery system to reach the cell receptors located at in the hair bulb. It is the most stable, safe and effective ingredient available in the synthetic hormone category.

PhytoCellTec™ Malus Domestica
In the 18th Century, apples from the Swiss Uttweiler Spätlauber tree became a staple in the winter diet because of their superior storability properties. Uttweiler Spätlauber apples are rich in phytonutrients, proteins and long-living cells. While other foods rapidly decayed in this pre-refrigerator era, these apples became popular because they lasted throughout the winter. Scientists today have identified potent stem cells in these apples as the reason for their superior durability. After seeing the clinical results of what these stem cells can do to reverse the appearance of wrinkles on skin, 3LAB incorporated a liposomal preparation of these stem cells into the Super “h” Serum formula.

Epidermal stem cells replenish and maintain the balance of cells within skin tissue. These cells help to regenerate healthy tissue after it sustains damage. However, with age, the body produces less skin stem cells and, thus, their ability to repair the skin becomes less efficient. Unlike human cells, plant cells have the ability to regenerate new organs or even the whole plant with time.

PhytoCellTec™ Malus Domestica uses PCT technology to help delay the signs of chronological aging and the senescence (the final point of aging for cells where they stop dividing due to stress or DNA) of essential cells by encouraging healthy cells from within. PhytoCellTec™ Malus Domestica is rich in epigenetic factors and metabolites which help to ensure the longevity of cells. Free radical damage from ultra-violet rays can weaken the skin structure resulting in wrinkles. Super “h” Serum uses plant stem cells to protect our human skin cells by up-regulating specific genes involved in the delay of senescence for more healthy resilient skin.

EUK-134
EUK-134 is a powerful molecule that mimics superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase - naturally occurring molecules in our skin – to help repair damaged DNA. When anti-oxidants scavenger the free radicals, hydrogen peroxide (H202) is produced. Hydrogen peroxide is a pro-oxidant compound and can be harmful for cells during this chemical process. It protects skin tissue against toxic compounds known as reactive oxygen species (ROS) and hydrogen peroxide generated by the cellular metabolism or external aggressors – the most common being UV radiation. EUK-134 reacts with hydrogen peroxide breaking down its bond and transforming the molecules into two inert products: water (H20) and oxygen (O2).

EUK-134 mirrors our own natural defense systems which help to prevent and reverse the signs of sun damage. What makes this compound so unique? It has a self-regenerating property that allows it to continue working during the free radical scavenging procycle. Translation: it undergoes several regenerative cycles and is still able to return to its original valence state – the activity remains potent throughout the process of breaking down harmful free radicals that can damage the skin. It doesn’t weaken or breakdown, it continues to work to prevent external factors from damaging the skin.

SUPER “h” SERUM ALSO CONTAINS OVER A DOZEN ADDITIONAL CUTTING EDGE ANTI-AGING INGREDIENTS INCLUDING:
• Osilift – a natural oat saccharide that provides instant lifting and firming benefits to the skin
• Polylift – a form of sweet almond proteins that forms an elastic and smooth film on the skin for a firming, “face-lift” like effect
• Vegetable Juvenium – an encapsulated, water soluble form of Vitamin C that maintains its maximum effect to help aid in protection from free radical damage, reduction of brown spots and reduction of wrinkles
• MDI-Complex – a marine enzyme from fish extract that helps improve the skin’s protective functions and supports transdermal collagen matrix for better hydration, moisture retention and skin firmness while reinforces the skin’s structure
• Matrixyl™ 3000 – contains matrikines (messengers of cutaneous restructuration and repair) to prevent skin damages and reduce the wrinkle depth and volume
• Lumiskin - stabilizes tyrosinase in its inactive form thus preventing age spots and giving skin a more even-toned, radiant complexion
• Sym-Glucan – protects against UV-damage while stimulating fibroblast growth and collagen synthesis
• Collagenon – a precursor of collagen characterized by the presence of the amino acid sequences existing in collagen; its low molecular weight peptides help the formation of new collagen
• Phyllanthus Emblica Fruit Extract- a multifunctional plant extract from East Indian Gooseberries that are harvested once a year that help to brighten the skin and prevent aging
• Vitamin E- a natural anti-oxidant to help prevent free radical damage
• Ginkgo Biloba Extract- helps to increase circulation
• Green Tea Extract – a powerful anti-oxidant and skin purifying ingredient
• Sodium Hyaluronate¬ – a moisturizing agent with similar structure to natural moisturizers found in the skin

Super “h” Serum can be used AM and/or PM after cleansing alone or before a moisturizer. It will retail for $300 (2 ounce pump) and launch exclusively at Barneys New York stores and barneys.com in May 2009; elsewhere in the US including Louis Boston, saks.com, dermstore.com, and other independent retailers in June.

Super “h” Serum is available at Selfridges & Co. in London, Harvey Nichols in Hong Kong and 61 of the finest parfumaries in Germany.
