When barrier function is perturbed, immediate secretion of preformed lamellar bodies occurs, followed by an increased synthesis of lamellar bodies and lipid precursors. Increased expression of inflammatory cytokines is observed after barrier disruption. Keratinocyte differentiation and proliferation are also increased after barrier disruption. The epidermal permeability barrier is restored through the above described homeostatic responses. Iontophoresis, sonophoresis and topical glycolic acid can also induce the down-stream homeostatic responses without changing the transepidermal water loss.</div>

<h1><span style="color: #838383;">About Dermaheal</span></h1>
<p align="justify">Most skin care products contain  							ingredients that moisturize, protect, soothe and  							reduce free radicals, pigmentation and redness.  							There are very few ingredients that are strong  							rebuilders of damaged collagen and those that exist  							are generally very irritating to the skin and take a  							very long time to work effectively. Compared to even  							powerful prescription medications, no other topical  							ingredients can display the effectiveness of growth  							factors on the skin. Topical growth factors like the  							ones in the Dermaheal range increase new collagen in  							a fraction of the time and with no irritation due to  							the fact that they naturally occur in the skin.</p>
<p align="justify">Dermaheal topical growth factors  							are expertly formulated in an easy to follow skin  							care range which includes cleansers, day, night and  							eye creams as well as a hydrating sunscreen.</p>
<p align="justify">Lamelle has also prepared additional powerful products  					selected to address those more worrying areas and signs of  					aging. Some of these products include powerful booster  					treatments such as an Anti-oxidant, Brightening and highly  					rated Intensive Cellular Regeneration serum. Other serums  					for different applications are available within this range.  					Serums have been developed to accelerate and stimulate  					powerful skin regeneration and are used periodically to boos  					the skin’s remodeling.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Brighter Concentrate provides a completely new solution to the complex and frustrating management of hyper-pigmentation of the skin. An innovative blend of conventional and novel peptide ingredients allows, for the first time, all 8 steps in the pigmentation pathway to be influenced to improve the appearance of affected area.</p>
<p>Brighter Concentrate contains (amongst others) Deca-butin, an ingredient which reaches straight to the root of the problem &amp; reduces the appearance of dark spots.</p>
<p>Brighter Concentrate has a dropper which is applied to the skin. It has a gel-like consistency.</p>
<p>Apply twice daily, morning &amp; evening, after cleansing. Use only on hyper-pigmented areas. Day and night products are applied over the concentrate.</p>
<p>Brighter Concentrate does NOT contain hydroquinone or potentially damaging or irritating ingredients. It is very safe. No irritation or sun sensitivity! This product is much stronger (in it&#8217;s effectiveness) then hydroquinone, without the side effects!</p>
<p>30ml  R695</p>
