Gatuline® In-Tense is a natural active ingredient that acts on the skin’s natural lifting properties, for a firmer skin with significantly reduced wrinkles.
Gatuline® In-Tense stimulates fibroblast activity, boosts cellular dynamism and thus reorganizes and tightens the collagen fiber network.
Visibly active, the effects of Gatuline® In-Tense are measurable from the first application.
Maintaining a youthful appearance is one of the main aging concern: people are looking for a firm body, a perfect facial contour and reduced wrinkles.
The dermis is a connective tissue composed of fibroblasts that produce proteins (mainly collagen and elastin) which are deposited in the extra-cellular matrix (ECM). Fibroblasts play a key role in the dermis architecture as they permanently interact with the ECM in a three dimensional structure. Thanks to their mobility and contractile properties, fibroblasts organize a supporting network that brings firmness and elasticity to the skin.
As the skin ages, it loses both elasticity and firmness. Cell turnover slows down and collagen production decreases. The dermis structure is disorganized, resulting in skin slackening and an accentuation of wrinkles.
To prevent sagging and combat the signs of aging, it is essential to reinforce the dermis structure, by targeting the cellular dynamism and stimulating fibroblast biomechanical functions.
Gatuline® In-tense is a concentrated oily extract taken from the upper part of the Spilanthes acmella plant also called Paracress or “Brède mafane”, a traditional spicy condiment.
Spilanthes acmella is renowned for its high content in alkylamides. A South Africa origin has been specifically selected for the high content of active ingredients in its crops.
Alkylamides have proved to be excellent markers of activity.
Its main actions are:
– Reinforces the architecture of the dermis and fights the signs of aging
– Stimulates the biomechanical functions of the fibroblasts
– Enhances the density of the skin
– Provides skin smoothness and firmness
– Visibly and rapidly reduces wrinkle appearance
