Dark marks and wrinkles remain a major concern for most women as they get older and whilst there is no miracle cure to either stop the hands of time or reverse their appearance, using appropriate skin care products can help to reduce and slow down the ageing progress.

However, let’s first talk a bit about how wrinkles form and what causes dark spots…

Wrinkles are a natural part of the ageing process. As people get older, their skin gets thinner, drier, and less elastic, and less able to protect itself from damage. This leads to wrinkles, creases, and lines on the skin.

Facial expressions, for example, repeatedly smiling, frowning, or squinting can lead to fine lines and wrinkles at a younger age. Each time a person uses a facial muscle, a groove forms under the surface of the skin. When a person is young, the skin springs back, but as they get older, the skin loses its flexibility so springing back becomes harder and less frequent, resulting in more permanent grooves.

Dark spots on the skin are usually caused by hyper pigmentation, which is when the skin forms excess melanin. This typically occurs when the skin in that area has been damaged often due to excessive sun exposure.

Acne or scars can often leave dark spots on the skin as well.

The ingredients in Celltone Gel can assist with alleviating most of these concerns and has been clinically proven to reduce dark spots after 14 days and wrinkles after 28 days.

The secret of Celltone Gel comes from the inclusion of snail extract.  This may like a strange ingredient to include in a skin care product but the story of how the power of snail extract is fascinating.

Some years ago workers at snail farms realised how their hands become softer, smoother and younger looking.  They also noticed that marks or scars on their hands became less noticeable.

Research revealed that snail extract contains an extraordinary combination of natural ingredients including Glycolic Acid, Allantoin, protein and Vitamin E which revitalise and nourish the skin effectively slowing down and reducing the signs of ageing such as wrinkles and dark spots.

Rather than using synthetic ingredients, which often cause skin irritations and adverse reactions , it was decided to harness the power of these naturally occurring elements.

So let’s look at what these wonderful ingredients actually do:

Natural Glycolic Acid: Exfoliation is key to keeping the skin looking young and radiant.  Exfoliation removes dead skin cells on the surface of the skin, reducing expression lines and wrinkles at the same time. Glycolic Acid gently exfoliates the skin without any abrasive action and because the Glycolic Acid found in Snail Extract is not synthetic, it does not irritate the skin.

Natural Allantoin: This helps to soften, soothe and protect the skin. It also stimulates cell regeneration promoting and stimulating the growth of healthy tissue resulting in a younger looking skin.

Proteins and Vitamin E: These enrich and soften the skin.

Regular use of Celltone Gel will not only reduce existing lines, wrinkles and dark marks – it will also help slow down the appearance of new ones.

[Please note: Dark marks or pigmentation that are formed as a result of hormonal changes will not respond to Celltone Gel.  For treatment of these, please contact your dermatologist.]
