Biotherm life plankton essence

Facial elixir Biotherm Life Plankton Elixir

Recently I have become a big fan of the Biotherm brand. And now I’m actively using a wonderful new product - Biotherm Life Plankton Elixir for face. Everything about it is perfect, from the packaging to the effect on the skin.

The bottle is made of thick glass and equipped with a pipette.

But most of all I liked the limiter, which protects the bottle from smudges on the one hand, and thus saves the precious contents on the other.

The consistency of the elixir is fluid, gel-like. When applied to the skin, it is distributed in one fell swoop, especially on damp skin. The feeling after application is very comfortable, since the elixir does not leave a sticky film, does not give an oily sheen and does not tighten the skin.

Plus - a very pleasant aroma that subtly hints that it’s time to relax and go to the sea.)

The main active component of the elixir is Life Plankton™, which has incredible restorative properties. The manufacturer emphasizes that this component in this product has the highest concentration.

The composition also contains other useful components. Sodium Hyaluronate - anti-inflammatory, anti-aging, moisturizer, skin regeneration and healing, rejuvenates, improves skin structure. Yeast extract is a combination of flavonoids, sugars, vitamins, amino acids. Vitreoscilla Ferment - an enzyme from bacteria that helps cells utilize oxygen, an antioxidant.Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid (Organic hyaluronic acid) obtained by biotechnological method. Penetrates deep into the epidermis and provides deep hydration to the skin. Stimulates the synthesis of proteins of protein compounds to maintain skin hydration and prevent transepidermal moisture loss, increases skin elasticity, stimulates collagen synthesis. Adenosine - a substance that is present in our DNA and is involved in many biochemical processes. In the human body, adenosine is synthesized independently, maintaining youth, strength and health. Adenosine in cosmetics stimulates the synthesis of collagen and elastin, effectively smoothes wrinkles, reduces age-related changes and evens out skin texture.

The manufacturer suggests using the elixir immediately after washing as a first step before using skincare products. That is, it can replace toner and/or emulsion.

I use the elixir, as the manufacturer advises, immediately after washing my face on slightly damp skin. Only a few drops are required for the entire face, neck and décolleté. I have combination skin and my cheeks sometimes feel tight due to dryness, but not after this product. The hydration is what I really like about it. The elixir also perfectly soothes sensitive and irritated skin, so it goes well after any cleansing procedures. The elixir is completely non-comedogenic, at least on my skin. On the contrary, the skin looks smoother and more well-groomed.

What is thermal plankton

These amazing microorganisms were discovered at the beginning of the twentieth century in a thermal spring in the French Pyrenees. This is how one of the secrets of the healing properties of thermal water was discovered.

Doctors, dermatologists and biologists became interested in thermal plankton. Since the beginning of the new century, repeated attempts have been made to extract it from water to use it to treat wounds and irritations. However, scientists faced two problems:

deprived of the natural environment, thermal plankton lost most of its healing qualities;

to create an effective concentrate, it was required too much water.

The founders of Biotherm managed to solve these problems, making thermal plankton the hallmark of the brand. It took two decades to develop cell biotechnology, thanks to which it is possible to create a concentrated extract of thermal plankton without resorting to natural resources.

Biotherm produces thermal plankton extract through biofermentation. One jar of Aquasource cream contains a concentrate corresponding to the volume of plankton in an entire pool of thermal water,” say representatives of the brand.

Beneficial features

One legend says that the superpower of thermal plankton can turn a frog into a dove. Real metamorphoses look somewhat different, but some of the miraculous properties attributed to this substance by popular rumor have found scientific confirmation. This ingredient can:

soothe the skin: the effect appears instantly;

restore: the result of regeneration is noticeable within a week;

work as an antioxidant which is especially important for residents of megacities.

Recently, another property of thermal plankton was discovered - to stimulate the antioxidant system in the mitochondria of the cell. This means that it is able to inhibit the process of premature skin aging caused by oxidative stress. True, we will not be able to evaluate the result of this work immediately, because we do not grow old in one day or even in a year.

An experiment was conducted in California: the skin of a volunteer, treated with a concentrate of thermal plankton, was subjected to severe oxidative stress using ultraviolet irradiation. As a result, it was found that thermal plankton is capable of providing antioxidant protection comparable to SPF 15.

Application in cosmetics

Thermal plankton is a universal ingredient that has a positive effect on skin of any type and in any condition. It is contained in every Biotherm jar, be it an aftershave cream or a moisturizing serum.
