Benefits of the assets

Aloe juice
Highly moisturizing thanks to its polysaccharides which retain water in the skin. Soothing and anti-inflammatory, it calms tightness and irritation, while also having a mild healing effect.

Sodium PCA
It is a natural component of the skin's natural moisturizing factor (NMF). A powerful humectant, it captures and retains water in the superficial layers of the epidermis, improving skin suppleness and comfort.

Vitamin C
A recognized antioxidant that protects against external aggressions (pollution, UV). It stimulates collagen synthesis, evens out skin tone and helps to reduce pigment spots, for a "healthy glow".

Hyaluronic acid
One of the most powerful humectants, capable of retaining a considerable amount of water. It provides deep, plumping hydration, visibly smoothing dehydration lines and improving skin elasticity.

Vitamin E
An antioxidant that protects the skin from oxidative stress and strengthens the skin barrier. It is often combined with vitamin C because it stabilizes and prolongs its effectiveness, a classic duo in formulations.

Extract from Bidens Pilosa (retinol alternative)
Conventional retinol is known for its benefits: stimulating collagen and elastin, providing antioxidant action, reducing dark spots, and offering a keratolytic effect. However, it remains a potentially irritating and photosensitizing substance, and is difficult to formulate. Bidens pilosa is used precisely as a plant-based alternative because it activates the skin's retinoid receptors, improving texture and elasticity while smoothing wrinkles, with efficacy comparable to synthetic retinol, without causing irritation or photosensitivity. It also possesses anti-inflammatory and soothing properties thanks to its bioactive compounds (polyacetylenes, flavonoids, triterpenes).

Test conducted on 20 women after 8 weeks of using the product.

FAQ

How does this cream differ from a classic retinol treatment?

Unlike synthetic retinol, which is often irritating and photosensitizing, this cream uses 2% Bidens pilosa extract, which activates the same skin receptors to provide comparable anti-aging benefits, without the side effects usually associated with retinol.

Is it suitable for sensitive skin?

Yes, it is formulated for all skin types. Bidens pilosa does not cause irritation or photosensitivity, making it a suitable option even for the most reactive skin, unlike classic retinol.

Can I use it during pregnancy or breastfeeding?

Bidens pilosa is not a synthetic retinoid and is therefore not subject to the same precautions as conventional retinol, which is generally discouraged during this period. However, it is recommended to consult your doctor or midwife before use, as a precaution.

How long does it take to see results?

A clinical study conducted on 20 women over 8 weeks showed concrete results: 95% felt an improvement in hydration from the first applications, and 80% noticed a visible reduction in fine lines after 2 months of regular use.

How and when should this cream be applied?

Apply a small amount to the face and neck after cleansing, morning and/or evening, for daily use.
