About Radiance DNA Facial

Professional facial treatment with vitamin C, with an effective therapeutic response in the prevention of the first signs of aging. Antioxidant, photoprotective, brightening and collagen synthesis boosting properties.

Its antioxidant properties counteract the damaging effects of the ultraviolet rays, preventing premature photoaging. The combination of its active ingredients moisturises and attenuate fine wrinkles and expression lines. Its high concentration of vitamin C give the skin light and vitality. It is the ideal treatment for skins weakened by sun exposure, smoking, strict diets, or stress.

How does Radiance DNA work

Topically applied vitamin C has a dual antioxidant effect: it neutralizes cellular free radicals by contributing electrons and participates in the regeneration of vitamin E, which is essential for the protection of the cells’ lipid membranes.
After neutralizing free radicals, vitamin C has both a preventive and palliative effect on oxidative damage to epidermal cells caused by ultraviolet radiation. When applied prior to sun exposure, vitamin C acts as a biological photoprotector. After exposure, its anti-inflammatory action helps reduce solar erythema.
