DefenAge is a patent-pending, nonprescription skin-care technology system that aims to rejuvenate skin by reprogramming dormant cells to create new skin cells. The anti-aging system is made up of five skin-care products: cleanser, moisturizer, masque, eye cream, and 8-in-1 bioserum.
The proprietary active ingredient in this system is called the defensin molecule. According to the brand, defensins are target-specific peptides, which means that they activate specific cells. In the case of DefenAge, defensins purportedly activate LRG6+ stem cells. Through this activation, the LRG6+ stem cells are prompted to create new basal skin cells.
According to the brand’s website, “Defensins are powerful regenerative peptides whose benefits were first linked to the immune system. They are also known for their antimicrobial effects. Recently, the age-repairing nature of these natural peptides was discovered by scientists at Progenitor Biologics, the parent company of DefenAge Cosmeceuticals, while researching stem cell therapies for wound healing and type 1 diabetes.”
Your skin cells do renew on their own, but DefenAge claims that this natural multiplication often produces cells that become damaged over time, leading to visibly damaged and dry skin. Defensins essentially help the body produce brand-new, fresh skin cells for an overall brighter and more youthful appearance. The line can be used by people with all skin types and skin tones, says Dr. David Whiteman, a plastic surgeon in Duluth, Georgia. “In my experience, people of all skin types and tones can benefit greatly from using DefenAge skin care. DefenAge uses an award-winning formula and naturally occurring peptides called ‘Age-Repair Defensins’ to help people fight the most common signs of aging, including wrinkles, lines, hyperpigmentation, and more. Anyone who wants to rejuvenate the appearance of their face (or other areas of the body) and achieve a younger-looking appearance can be a great candidate for DefenAge.”
