The Active Cream

The Active Cream is a high-performance cosmeceutical cream designed to work day and night on the skin's architecture. Its biomimetic formula consistently reinforces the barrier function, restores deep hydration and supports epidermal repair, creating an intelligent shield against environmental stress and the internal processes that accelerate skin ageing.

With a refined, fast-absorbing texture, it melts into the skin without leaving a greasy residue and provides instant comfort. It is the ideal final step in demanding skincare protocols seeking balance, elasticity and an even, radiant finish, with a clinical yet sensorial approach.

Key benefits

• Continuously reinforces the barrier function, helping to reduce transepidermal water loss and the feeling of tightness.
• Restores and maintains hydration on the surface and deep down, giving skin a plumper, softer and more comfortable feel.
• Supports epidermal repair and skin homeostasis, essential for sensitised, reactive skin or skin with underlying inflammation.
• Improves skin structure, smooths fine lines and wrinkles and boosts elasticity and firmness.
• Protects against external aggressors (pollution, indirect UV radiation, temperature changes) and oxidative stress.
• Refines texture, increases softness to the touch and promotes a more even, matte finish, free from unwanted shine.
• Clinically measured results after 8 weeks: increased radiance, hydration and softness, improved barrier function and reduced wrinkles.

What skin type it's suitable for

Formulated for daily use and designed as a versatile, highly tolerable treatment, The Active Cream is especially suitable for:

• Dry and very dry skin that needs intense hydration and barrier repair.
• Combination skin seeking nourishment without a heavy feel and with a balanced finish.
• Sensitive, reactive skin or skin prone to redness.
• Aged, photo-exposed skin or skin with visible signs of loss of firmness, wrinkles and uneven texture.
• Dehydrated, dull skin lacking radiance.
• Profiles with inflammatory dermatoses such as acne, rosacea, dermatitis, psoriasis or eczema (as cosmetic support within a comprehensive approach), where barrier dysfunction and immune instability are common.

Science and biomimetic technology serving the skin

The Active Cream combines biotechnological actives and bioidentical lipids to integrate naturally with skin physiology, supporting lasting balance.

Active Water from Mediterranean citrus

The water phase is no longer just a vehicle but becomes a functional active. Instead of demineralised water, the formula incorporates active water from the upcycling of non-edible portions of Mediterranean citrus fruits, specifically blood oranges:

• Offers protection against oxidation, the effects of pollution and certain types of radiation.
• Helps modulate inflammation and soothe skin, helping to reduce redness and irritation.
• Forms a protective film that strengthens barrier function and improves skin resilience.
• Incorporates biocompatible salts recognised by the body, which optimise the absorption of the other ingredients.

Biomimetic hyaluronic acid (sodium hyaluronate)

Hyaluronic acid is a key molecule in maintaining skin hydration, capable of holding up to 1,000 times its weight in water. The Active Cream incorporates medium and high molecular weight sodium hyaluronate for multi-layer hydrating action:

• The higher molecular weight fractions provide instant hydration and a surface “plumping” effect.
• The medium weight fractions work in deeper layers of the epidermis, prolonging hydration.
• Reinforces the barrier function, helping skin become more elastic, soft and resilient.
• Supports collagen and elastin synthesis in fibroblasts, helping to reduce the depth of wrinkles and fine lines.

Next-generation biotechnological Ectoin

Ectoin is an amino acid derivative discovered in microorganisms capable of surviving extreme desert conditions. On skin it acts as a true cellular shield:

• Supports the restoration of skin homeostasis and strengthens microbiota defences against thermal stress, pollution and radiation.
• Promotes the synthesis of structural peptides that reinforce the skin's architecture.
• Increases cell viability and optimises epidermal cell metabolism.
• Improves texture and elasticity, visibly reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

The ectoin used is obtained through bio-fermentation of a non-genetically modified bacterial strain, and is precisely characterised at chemical and biological level to guarantee its purity, stability and reproducibility.

Biomimetic triglycerides and bioidentical lipids

The lipid phase is based on triglycerides and oils structurally similar to those found in skin, designed to integrate into the epidermal lipid matrix:

• Provide a source of energy for skin cells, supporting their repair functions.
• Preserve the protective barrier, helping reduce irritation and redness thanks to their anti-inflammatory action.
• Actively contribute to the formation of lipids that prevent water loss and maintain cohesion of the stratum corneum.
• Their high biocompatibility improves the penetration of the actives and the sensoriality of the formula, offering a comfortable, enveloping, non-occlusive texture.

These triglycerides are of plant origin, specifically from non-genetically modified Italian olives, obtained through purification, extraction and isolation processes that reduce the carbon footprint and guarantee high cosmetic quality.

Clinically measured results in 8 weeks

In 8-week clinical studies, conducted using methodologies accepted in the cosmetic field and under standardised procedures, The Active Cream has shown significant improvements in key skin quality parameters:

• Up to 92% of subjects showed a significant increase in radiance.
• Reduction of wrinkles and fine lines in 75% of participants.
• An increase of 100% in hydration and perceived hydration level.
• Up to 83% of subjects with improved skin softness and texture.
• 92% with strengthened barrier function.
• 71% of subjects with improved matte finish and shine control.

These results are part of a study design comparing systemic supplements, topical solutions and the combination of both, reinforcing the brand's “In & Out” approach.

Recommended use

Incorporate The Active Cream as the final step of your treatment ritual, morning and night:

• Apply to clean, dry skin on the face, neck and eye contour area.
• Place a small amount on your fingertips and spread with gentle, upward movements.
• Pay delicate extra attention to areas more prone to dryness, wrinkles or redness.
• Wait a few moments for complete absorption before applying sun protection in the morning or makeup at any time of day.

Thanks to its fast absorption and comfortable finish, it is an excellent makeup base and an ideal ally in both day and night routines, whether used alone or as part of multi-layer care protocols alongside systemic treatments such as The Skin Biotic.
