Rénergie Microlift R.A.R.E. - Is the Science Behind this True?
"When it comes to wrinkles, technological innovations happen very quickly," said Guilhem Souche, the brand's international marketing director for skin care. "We needed to update and act on our most recent scientific knowledge."
The firm's laboratories identified proteins in the skin, called small leucine rich proteoglycans, which are said to control the diameter and spacing of collagen fibers, preventing its breakdown. "SLRPs control tissue quality in general and the skin in particular," said biologist Professor Yanusz Wergrowski, during a Lancôme press conference here Tuesday.
The brand focused on an SLRP called lumican, whose presence in the dermis depletes with age. As levels drop, collagen fibers are less compactly held together and skin loses firmness. To boost the synthesis of lumican, Lancôme has introduced an oligopeptide with R.A.R.E. technology, denoting Retightening and Repositioning Effect. The brand claims R.A.R.E. doubles the synthesis of lumican within 48 hours in mature skin, thus decreasing the number, depth and length of wrinkles.
While Rénergie's precursor was inspired by the results offered by surgical facelifts, the new iteration is meant to mimic more recent methods used in plastic surgery, which firm slackening features while maintaining facial expressiveness.
