Advantages of Pinolumin™
- Soothes sensitive and irritated skin
- Visibly reduces redness and age spots
- Creates a more even skin tone and gives a youthful glow
- Protects against the effects of environmental stress
In sensitive skin, the TRPV1 nerve response is exaggerated, which can lead to neurogenic inflammation. This is due to the significant and excessive release of inflammatory compounds. Furthermore, skin inflammation can also occur from other biochemical processes caused by oxidative stress caused by UV radiation and aging. Skin inflammation leads to irritation, local redness and color irregularities, such as age spots, which cause uneven skin tone.
Pinolumin™ reduces skin hypersensitivity by inhibiting TRPV1 receptor activation and the subsequent release of pro-inflammatory mediators (CGRP, IL-8 and PGE2). The soothing activity of Pinolumin also relies on the ability of pinosylvin to neutralize free radicals and limit TRPA1 activation. In addition, Pinolumin™ protects skin collagen by reducing UV-induced MMP-1 production.
Pinolumin™ is derived from Swiss pine extract, which contains stilbenes, such as pinosylvin. This is a group of natural defense molecules that possess antimicrobial properties and antioxidant activity to provide protection against pathogenic microorganisms, UV rays and ozone stress. The soothing effect of Pinolumin™ results in a strong and visible reduction of local redness and color irregularities such as age spots and an increase in overall skin homogeneity.
