How Does Eucerin Hyaluron-Filler Epigenetic Serum Work?
Discover the science behind Eucerin Hyaluron-Filler Epigenetic Serum, including how EpicellineĀ® works, its key ingredients and the benefits it can offer ageing skin.
Skincare science is always evolving, but every so often, an innovation comes along that makes us want to take a closer look. As our Brand of the Month, Eucerin is putting the spotlight on epigenetics and what our lifestyle, environment and even daily habits could mean for how our skin ages.
At the centre of its latest research is the Eucerin Hyaluron-Filler + Longevity Epigenetic Serum, a formula powered by patented Age Clock Technology and the active ingredient EpicellineĀ®. But what does that actually mean for your skin? Let's get into the science.
What Does Epigenetic Skincare Actually Mean?
Although it may sound futuristic, epigenetics is a natural process that is happening in our bodies all the time. Our genes contain instructions that tell our cells how to function, but not every gene is active at once. Epigenetics refers to the processes that can influence which genes are more or less active, without changing the DNA itself.
As we get older, these patterns of gene activity naturally change. Eucerin refers to this as our epigenetic profile, AKA the pattern of which genes are active or inactive at a particular point in time. Eucerin's research shows that external factors, including sun exposure, pollution, diet and stress, can also influence these patterns and, in the skin, contribute to visible signs of ageing.
This relationship between our genes, ageing and the environment has been a focus of Eucerin's research for more than 15 years.
Meet EpicellineĀ®: The Ingredient Behind the Science
So, where does a serum come into all of this?
Eucerin's research led to its patented Age Clock Technology, developed specifically to study skin ageing. By analysing epigenetic patterns associated with younger and older skin, Eucerin has used this technology to investigate active ingredients that could influence age-related epigenetic changes.
One of those discoveries was EpicellineĀ®, Eucerin's trademarked active ingredient derived from the leaves of vine tea (Ampelopsis grossedentata).
According to Eucerin, EpicellineĀ® targets age-related epigenetic changes and helps reactivate genes associated with more youthful skin function. The brand says more than 50,000 active ingredients were investigated during the 15 years of research that led to this innovation.
What's Inside Eucerin Hyaluron-Filler Epigenetic Serum?
EpicellineĀ® might be the headline ingredient, but the serum combines it with some more familiar skincare actives to target visible signs of ageing from multiple angles.
-
EpicellineĀ®: targets age-related epigenetic changes to support firmer, smoother and more youthful-looking skin.
-
Hyaluronic Acid: helps retain moisture, supporting plumper, more hydrated-looking skin.
-
Glycine Saponin: a soybean-derived active that Eucerin says stimulates the skin's own Hyaluronic Acid production.
-
Enoxolone: helps reduce the degradation of the skin's Hyaluronic Acid.
Together, these ingredients combine Eucerin's latest epigenetic research with established hydration-focused skincare technology.
What Can Eucerin Hyaluron-Filler Epigenetic Serum Do For Your Skin?
Eucerin designed the serum to target 10 visible signs of skin ageing, including wrinkles, fine lines, firmness, contours, hydration, radiance, smoothness and evenness.
And this isn't positioned as an overnight transformation. Eucerin reports visible results after four weeks of use, based on its clinical studies and product-in-use testing. In a four-week product-in-use test involving 160 volunteers, 98% confirmed reduced wrinkles and 98% confirmed younger-looking skin.
It is an interesting reminder that anti-ageing skincare doesn't have to focus on wrinkles alone. Hydration, texture, firmness and radiance all contribute to how our skin looks and feels as it changes over time.
How To Use Eucerin Hyaluron-Filler Epigenetic Serum
The serum can be used daily as part of your existing skincare routine. After cleansing, apply the Eucerin Hyaluron-Filler + Longevity Epigenetic Serum before your moisturiser. If you're using it in the morning, always finish your routine with SPF.
With more than 15 years of epigenetic research behind its development, the serum offers an interesting look at where anti-ageing skincare science is heading next. As Eucerin is our Brand of the Month, now is the perfect time to discover more from the brand and explore the science-led formulas that could earn a place in your routine.
