Launch: Albion Infinesse Skin Care Line

Early September, ALBION launched INFINESSE in Singapore, a new anti-aging skin care line developed based on advanced scientific research.

About Infinesse

How does Infinesse range of skincare create skin that is ‘visibly lifted & firm?

Infinesse focus on 1 special part of our skin which is the Dermal Cushion.

Inside the skin, there is a springy cushion-like layer that connects the dermis and epidermis. Commonly called the papillary dermis, at Infinesse we call this layer, which is located on the outer most part of the dermis, the 'dermal cushion'.

Acting on the dermal cushion (papillary dermis) is extremely important in order to achieve "skin that is visibly lifted and firm".

Infinesse focusing on skin's dermal cushion using 1 key ingredient: Renovate cPA®

Development of "Renovate cPA®"

Prof. Murofushi (of Graduate School of Humanities and Sciences, Faculty of Science, Ochanomizu University) is the discoverer of cPA (cyclic phosphatidic acid), a lipid with various physiological effects that exists in small quantities in living organisms.

Albion partnered with the university to conduct joint research into cPA and successfully created a version of cPA with excellent absorption properties for use in skin care products. This remarkable achievement led to the development of Renovate cPA®, the first anti-aging ingredient of its kind in the world.

Benefits of "Renovate cPA®"

1. Strengthen the density of net-like structure of collagen fibers

- Strengthen Cytoskelton of Fibroblast

- Strengthen Connection points with Fibroblast and Collagen

2. Boost high polymer hyaluronic acid in the reticular dermis

With both benefits, it will lift up the skin from the Dermis!

Efficacy Proof of Infinesse

Now that we'd learn the benefits of the special ingredient "Renovate cPA®", here's more visuals presented by Ms Maki Arakawa (Researcher from Research Development Centre, Albion in Japan) to show how Infinesse skin care can help in fighting aging, sagging skin.

Alot more visuals! I love the fact that Albion provides scientific proofs with technology assistance such as this program. ^,^  (click pictures to enlarge)

Oh... laugh lines. I have them and I really really want to get rid of them!

This image is actually in 3D, it was rotating around at different angles on the screen just by maneuvering it around with the mouse. Amazing isn't it?

Last but not least, face mapping visual.

There was also a demonstration during the event. Infinesse skincare was applied onto the model's left half of the face (our right half) and immediately... you can see her laugh line shortened, skin lifted up and her jaw line looks "V"!

Albion 4-Step Skin Care

Feels somewhat different from the usual skin care regimen. Instead of ending with a cream after serum, Albion states to end with a serum as the last step. However it is required that we soften our skin first by applying milk lotion before conditioning the skin with lotion.

Here's a better explanation of the skin care regimen by Albion:

Renovate cPA® + Hyaluronic Acid Injection ⇒ Instantly gives a firm and lifted appearance
1. Dramatically increase the hyaluronic acid in the dermal cushion, plumping skin rapidly and quickly giving it taut firmness and elasticity.
2. Enrich every millimeter of the "collagen network" that constitutes the dermis' structure and function, enhancing firmness and elasticity from deep inside the dermis.
- Boosts the density of the net-like structure of collagen fibers.
- Promotes production of high molecular weight hyaluronic acid and the structural components of the dermis.
- Instantly strengthens, firms, and thickens collagen fiber bundles.
- Prevents damage to and promotes the production of elastin.
3. Fills the stratum corneum with moisture and powerfully grips the skin's surface. Supplies firmness and elasticity from the instant you rub it in, and maintains it.

Facinated with the pump outlet~ There is no visible opening when it's not in used as there is a translucent 'ball' stucked at the outlet. When I push it down, the 'ball' retracts back inside and product come oozing out from the sides of the 'ball'. This way, the product will not deteriorate caused by constant contact with air.

Infinesse Skin Care Tools

Paper ruler to measure the jaw line (total length from bottom of the ear lobe to the chin) before and after using the products to check if the jawline length have been reduced.

Infinesse Eye Lift Massager for massaging eyes, face, jaw, neck, decollete areas.

Complimentary from Albion

- Trial set of Infinesse IA

- Infinesse Eye Lift Massager

This massager is not sold in Singapore (only in Japan). Happy to receive this as a gift, I really need some massage for my face~ ^_^

Includes a bag to contain the massager.

The massager is made of silicon, feels very smooth, rubbery and matte which doesn't cause friction when glide over the skin, thus reduces skin tugging. I'll talk about this cool tool in a separate post after I'd experience it. ^_^
