In these increasingly image-conscious times, many of us are considering dramatic treatments to help us maintain our youthful looks earlier and earlier in life. According to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, Americans spent more than $12 billion on plastic surgery in 2014, investing in around 5 million non-surgical anti-wrinkle treatments.

With between 0.5-4% of procedures going wrong, these treatments are not without risk. What if there was a topical treatment program that could reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles without the need for potentially painful, even dangerous, treatments?

What if there was a preparation so rich in vital compounds and ingredients that it could keep the skin looking younger for longer, and even soothe and heal the skin following peels and microdermabrasion?

The Youth Gems® program of peptide-based complex skincare can be effective at any time of life, slowing down aging of the skin on the face, neck, hands and body in our youth, and improving the skin's appearance as we age.

What is Youth Gems®?

Youth Gems® is a range of topical antiaging skin treatments that contains a rejuvenating blend of healthy compounds and essential nutrients, vitamins and minerals designed to:

• Smooth the surface of the skin.
• Reduce the number of small wrinkles.
• Increase the skin's elasticity.
• Lift facial contours.

The range forms a complete skincare routine:

• Body Milk—A light cream that can be used on most parts of the body, including the neck, arms, and legs.
• Day Cream—A core product for the face and hands, designed to boost blood flow and improve skin appearance.
• Tonic—A general cleanser, particularly helpful for sensitive, damaged skin or for acne. To be splashed on when needed, or even used as a soothing aftershave.
• Serum—A potent, concentrated product designed to treat the most noticeable signs of aging, especially fine lines surrounding the eyes, mouth and chin. Use the serum as part of your skincare routine along with Youth Gems® tonic and day cream.

The Youth Gems®: Powerful bioregulating compounds

The main active ingredients in Youth Gems® are a group of short-chain peptide bioregulators that act as highly specific gene switches. These compounds were discovered during groundbreaking aesthetic medicine research at the Biogerontology Institute in St. Petersburg.

Each one acts in a specific and targeted way to boost the health and regeneration of skin cells:

Thymus gland peptide stimulates metabolic activity in skin cells prompting regeneration and protein synthesis. This peptide also has an anti-inflammatory action that can help wounds heal more quickly, as well as antioxidant, immune system stimulating, and stress busting actions.

Pineal gland peptide regulates metabolic processes and increases protein synthesis in skin cells. It is believed to normalize damaging lipid peroxidation caused by external factors such as air pollution, sunlight, intensive physical activity and trauma, as well as emotional stress.

Cartilaginous tissue peptide stimulates regeneration of fibroblasts and keratinocytes, slowing down the breakdown of collagen. It strengthens the collagen structure of elastic skin fibers and increases elasticity, slowing the formation of lines and wrinkles and helping the skin to look younger.

Vessel peptide regulates metabolic processes in blood vessel walls, helping with vascular tone, restoring disturbed skin microcirculation (even under the action of adverse environmental factors and emotional stress), strengthening and regulating the permeability of the vascular walls of skin vessels and improving skin turgor.

What else can you find in the Youth Gems® range?

In addition to the four critical bioregulator peptides, the Youth Gems® range contains an incredible array of beneficial natural agents.

• Bio-antioxidant Neovitin®, a complex of active ingredients isolated from ginseng strengthens blood vessels walls, normalizes fat and protein metabolism in skin cells and keeps the skin feeling soft and silky.
• Olive oil helps the skin feel soft and velvety by regenerating and moisturizing irritated and dry skin.
• Raisin-seed oil improves skin tone and structure and reduces pore dilation.
• Argon oil—one of the rarest and most expensive vegetable oils in the world—is effective for the treatment of age-related changes such as skin wrinkles, flabbiness and dryness.
• Soya oil restores the epidermal barrier and water-retaining ability of the skin.
• Jojoba oil promotes moisture preservation in skin tissues, reduces peeling and heals cracks.
• Bisabolol is a soothing anti-inflammatory.
• Peony extract, rich in micronutrients, restores the function of the epidermis.
• Sodium hyaluronate corrects hyaluronic acid deficiency.
• Starch promotes a healthy glow.
• Green tea extract neutralises free radicals and stimulates circulation.
• Glycerine helps the skin stay moisturised.
• Cocoa oil (which contains stearin, palmitinic, oleic and linoleic acids) for healing and toning.
• Carrageenan from seaweed to reduce sensitivity.
• Glucose to provide energy for cellular metabolism.
• Active yeast complex to enhance circulation.
• Fresh water sponge extract for its anti-inflammatory, anti-edematous and transdermal actions.
• Sorbitol for moisturization.
• Liposomes to deliver active substances that slow down the aging process deep within the epidermis layers.
• Panthenol (vitamin В5) to heal, moisturize and smooth the skin.
• Vitamin E to neutralise free radicals and promote cellular metabolism.
• Sweet almond extract to soothe, smooth and remodel the skin.

In fact, Youth Gems® contains some of the most precious known moisturising and antiaging agents in the world.
