Melvita Bio-Excellence Naturalift

“Ageing” is a dreaded word for many but age we must and will. Some will probably experience premature ageing while some lucky ones don’t look their age at all but sooner or later, age catches up with us. Over the past few years, cosmetic research has begun to uncover a previously unknown factor in the mechanism of cellular ageing: inflamm-ageing.

With inflamm-ageing, the skin shows no indication that it is suffering. There is no redness, no itching. It doesn’t feel particularly tight. Yet “silent” inflammation is lurking in the heart of cells, and this inflammation will lead to skin ageing. To fight this silent inflammation, France’s leading certified organic beauty brand Melvita decided to call on the vital forces of nature and explored the very heart of the native cells of buds, pulsating with life. Buds contain an exceptional concentration of plant native cells.

After many years of research, the Melvita Research & Development laboratory developed a patented bud complex. Beech, pine, blackcurrant and raspberry plant extracts work together to give the skin the tools it needs to fight the effects of skin ageing caused by inflamm-ageing.

The synergy of buds stimulates the action of an enzyme (superoxide dismutase) that fights the oxidative effects of the breakdown of oxygen in the skin by protecting cells against the oxidative effects of free radicals. The synergy of buds stimulates and reinforces efficient cellular function in the skin.

Melvita introduced 3 new products this month to help fight inflamm-ageing.

BIO-EXCELLENCE NATURALIFT ORGANIC YOUTHFUL DAY CREAM (40ML, RM208)

This formula offers the protective and firming action of Melvita’s exclusive bud complex, to smooth wrinkles and fine lines. It also contains shea butter, to nourish the skin, and the combination of rye, oat and hibiscus, which together redefine facial contours.

BIO-EXCELLENCE NATURALIFT ORGANIC YOUTHFUL NIGHT CREAM (40ML, RM225)

In addition to the firming and protective action of Melvita’s bud complex, which smoothes wrinkles and fine lines, this formula also contains nourishing shea butter, as well as evening primrose oil, known to help prevent skin ageing. These ingredients are combined with rye, oat and hibiscus, which help redefine facial contours, to provide intensive regenerating action.

BIO-EXCELLENCE NATURALIFT ORGANIC YOUTHFUL EYE CONTOUR (15ML, RM170)

Formulated with the firming and protective bud complex, this eye cream is enriched with plankton – known for its draining properties, which help to reduce dark circles. It also contains rice powder, for a delicate powdery finish. Rye, oat and hibiscus provide complementary action, filling out wrinkles and fine lines.

1. Day Cream

2. Night Cream

3. Eye Contour

Some may find the textures a bit too thick for their liking but they are quite ideal for dry skins like mine which really benefit from slightly richer creams. After all, at my age my skin needs as much hydration as possible. Nevertheless, the day, night and eye creams absorb into my skin rapidly without any sticky feeling. The first impression I got from the products is that they certainly made my skin look and feel a lot smoother. My skin looked more refined over time and I thought the eye cream worked well for my eye area as fine lines were a little less apparent and my eye area felt less dry. The products prolong the softness of my skin. Once you start using these, you may be surprised to find that your skin feels a lot smoother than when you were using other moisturisers.
