Melume - Antioxidant cream with 20% vitamin C (THD)

Super-Hydrating Anti-Wrinkle Cream that visibly brightens dull skin and instantly gives it a youthful glow. Contains a stable, highly active form of 20% Vitamin C (THD) — a powerful antioxidant that neutralizes free radicals, boosts collagen production, reducing wrinkles and skin sagging. In combination with glutathione, Vitamin C helps brighten dull skin, eliminate dark spots, and combat signs of aging, improving the overall health and appearance of the skin. With 7 forms of hyaluronic acid and biomimetic polysaccharides, the cream provides 24-hour hydration, maintaining and enhancing the skin's moisture, while the exclusive patented GMOD complex offers multidimensional protection against photoaging and detoxifies cells.

Active Ingredients:

• 20% Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate (THD) — an oil-soluble, exceptionally stable ester of Vitamin C that absorbs faster and penetrates deeper into the skin, as fatty acids have a higher affinity for the skin. It works in synergy with Vitamin E (tocopherol), which is naturally present in the skin and influences the skin's main support system in a different way than water-soluble ascorbic acid. A powerful antioxidant that neutralizes free radicals and mitigates the effects of UV exposure. Increases collagen production, reducing wrinkles and skin sagging. Effectively brightens dull, uneven skin by suppressing melanogenesis (pigment production), as well as reducing dark spots and discoloration. It helps reverse the effects of UV exposure, has anti-inflammatory effects on acne, and visibly improves enlarged pores and skin texture.
• 7 Molecular Sizes of Hyaluronic Acid — a combination of 7 forms of hyaluronic acid works like a sponge, creating a three-dimensional network that affects different skin layers, providing constant hydration. It forms a moisturizing protective film on the surface and hydrates the stratum corneum, helping the skin retain its moisture. Reduces lines and wrinkles, leaving skin smooth, firm, and elastic.
• Biomimetic Polysaccharides — a natural-origin component composed of a complex of sugars derived biotechnologically from plant substrates, such as corn. It has moisturizing (water-binding) and soothing properties, forming a flexible smoothing film on the skin surface that retains moisture and strengthens the barrier function. Provides anti-aging effects by stimulating epidermal renewal and youth proteins (sirtuins), fighting aging and restructuring skin architecture.
• GMOD™ — an exclusive bioscientific complex combining extracts of Medicinal Broom, stem cells of Dolichos biflorus, and glycoquin. It enhances the efficacy of all ingredients, helps hydrate the surface and deeper skin layers, and increases its elasticity and resistance. Stimulates the biosynthesis of hyaluronic acid and supports its turnover. Improves skin elasticity and firmness, preventing fine lines, wrinkles, and other signs of aging: provides complete 360° rejuvenation by increasing the expression of youth proteins. Offers multidimensional protection against photoaging and detoxifies cells.
• Glutathione — has excellent antioxidant and anti-melanogenic properties. This means that it can inhibit the enzyme tyrosinase, which produces melanin. It acts as an antioxidant, free radical scavenger, and skin brightener. This tripeptide contains three amino acids: cysteine, glutamic acid, and glycine. It is naturally produced in the body to protect the skin from free radical damage that leads to wrinkles. It helps brighten dull skin, eliminate dark spots, combat signs of aging, and improve the overall health and appearance of the skin.
• Carrot Root Extract — helps protect the skin from damage caused by environmental stressors and improves its overall health and appearance. The component is known to contain orange pigment beta-carotene (provitamin A). The molecule is famous for its powerful antioxidant and regenerative properties. The extract also contains Vitamin E and some fatty acids, which provide additional antioxidant and barrier-repairing properties.
• Panthenol — an ideal moisturizing ingredient, also known as Pro-Vitamin B5, it attracts and retains moisture, enhancing skin hydration while reducing transdermal water loss. It has anti-inflammatory properties that soothe the skin. It helps reduce redness caused by increased sensitivity and also promotes healing and restoration of the skin barrier.
• Allantoin — an anti-inflammatory agent with excellent soothing effects on the skin: it calms, protects, cleanses, heals, and promotes cell regeneration.
• Bisabolol — a natural ingredient obtained from the bark of the Candeia tree, native to Brazil. It soothes irritation that leads to excessive melanin production, causing uneven hyperpigmentation. It controls the transduction signal that triggers melanogenesis by inhibiting the formation of melanin induced by MSH (Melanocyte-Stimulating Hormone), which is secreted by keratinocytes exposed to UV radiation.

How to use:
Apply the cream in the morning and evening to clean skin on the face, neck, and décolletage area, or over serum. Always use with a high SPF. Discontinue use if irritation occurs. Avoid the eye area. Store in a cool, dry, and dark place. The color of the product may change slightly over time due to the high Vitamin C content.
