INCI name: BIFIDA FERMENT LYSATE
Rating: VERY GOOD
Origin
Bifida Ferment Lysate are inactivated complexes obtained from cultures of bacteria of the Bifidus group.
Effect
Light and sun are the causal factors of skin aging. The influence of UV radiation causes a dimerization of two pyrimidine building blocks within a DNA double strand (carrier of genetic information). A cell endogenous, enzymatically controlled repair system is able to repair such damage as long as the damage frequency does not exceed the repair capacity.
Unrepaired cell damage either leads to cell death or is passed on as a defect in the course of cell division. These molecular genetic alterations can result in epidermal changes such as atrophy. Exogenous supply of repair complexes leads to an increase in the DNA repair rate of UV-damaged cells.
Use
After-sun products and regenerating ampoule preparations.
