Benefits
-
Moisturising & Soothing
Dry and dehydrated skin often experiences rough texture, tightness and discomfort. To maintain optimal hydration, the skin needs moisture retention and a strengthened barrier to protect against environmental stressors. Ensuring long-lasting hydration and soothing relief helps restore softness, comfort and overall skin health.
-
Antioxidant & Anti-pollution
Exposure to environmental stressors, like UV rays and pollution, accelerates skin damage and leads to premature ageing. The skin needs protection from free radicals and harmful pollutants to preserve its health and prevent damage. Shielding the skin from these factors helps maintain its natural vitality and youthful appearance.
-
Anti-inflammatory & Anti-redness
Irritated or inflamed skin can lead to increased redness, discomfort, and heightened sensitivity, which disrupts the skin’s natural barrier and overall balance. To address this, the skin requires targeted relief from inflammation and a reduction in irritation, promoting homeostasis and restoring a calm, even complexion.
-
Anti-ageing
Intrinsic and extrinsic factors contribute to skin ageing, altering its texture, appearance and overall integrity. Intrinsic ageing is the natural decline in cellular functions, such as reduced collagen synthesis. Extrinsic factors like UV exposure, pollution and oxidative stress accelerate the breakdown of structural proteins, leading to visible signs of ageing, including wrinkles, skin thinning and…

Frequently Asked Questions
AvenaPLex is a powerful lipid complex active with a proven capacity to repair, renew and protect the skin barrier. This activity shows efficacy on the skin by helping to prevent and manage the signs of skin ageing. AvenaPLex boosts the content of hyaluronic acid in the epidermis, improving skin hydration, increasing the skin ceramide content, visibly reducing the appearance of crow’s feet, wrinkles and much more. More information on these studies and the product’s efficacy can be found in the AvenaPLex Data Pack. Please contact our sales team at [email protected] for more information.
Ceramides are lipid molecules which play an essential role in maintaining the integrity of the stratum corneum, contributing to the skin barrier function and preventing moisture loss. They account for almost 40-50% of the lipids in the stratum corneum. The skin ceramide levels decrease as we age, leading to the skin barrier imbalance, resulting in dry, rough and dull skin. Our product AvenaPLex is an excellent source of skin-identical ceramides for formulating skincare products for mature skin.
AvenaPLex restores and repairs the skin by:
- Rapidly repairing the skin lipid barrier
- Improving the quality of the epidermal barrier (increasing the length of the lipid lamellae in the intercellular space)
- Boosting the hyaluronic acid content of the skin
- Improving skin hydration
- Maintaining the extracellular matrix integrity
- Replenishing skin lipids lost through ageing (increasing the level of essential ceramides in the skin)
- Visibly reducing the appearance of crow’s feet wrinkles
