The Science of Aging

When we’re young, our skin maintains a healthy balance of enzymes. But over time, we lose that natural balance, making us more vulnerable to aging.

The foundation to healthy, balanced skin is found in the thousands of chemical processes occurring every minute within our skin. Every chemical reaction in our body, and especially in our skin, is initiated by enzymes. Enzymes are responsible for the reactions that help build, regulate, and repair a healthy skin matrix. Some enzymes are responsible for the production of collagen and elastin that support strong skin. Other enzymes break down old and damaged collagen and elastin that your skin no longer needs.

The smoothness, firmness, and youthfulness of our skin depend on the healthy balance of enzymes that build and recycle the skin matrix. This is the natural skin renewal process, and it’s absolutely essential for vibrant, younger-looking skin.

But age, UV exposure, smoke, pollutants, and other environmental stressors disrupt this balance. The result is weakened skin and the signs of aging that come with it, including fine lines, wrinkles, sagging skin, age spots, uneven skin tone, and dark circles under the eyes.

The natural bioactives in Defy help restore that balance, strengthening the underlying skin matrix and bringing back a more youthful look. We call this Biotopical Age Intervention. Studies show that the powerful bioactives used in Defy biotopicals inhibit enzymes that destroy the skin matrix and stimulate enzymes that build healthy skin.
