When I wake up in the morning after using SkinCeuticals Skin Firming Cream at night, my skin looks wonderful. Someone once described Skin Firming Cream to me as a “beautiful, unctuous cream” because she loved the yummy texture and excellent results.
Why is this such a great product?
The active ingredient is Titrated Extract of Centella Asiatica (TECA) which is a
reconstituted mixture of three triterpenes extracted from the plant and is
being used in Europe in wound healing drugs. TECA has been
shown to stimulate collagen synthesis in fibroblast cultures
and to increase the tensile strength of tissues.
Centella asiatica (also known as gotu kola, tiger grass
and indian pennywort) is a perennial creeping plant which
grows spontaneously around the Indian Ocean. The use of
centella asiatica in the management of dermatological conditions
has a long tradition in its native areas where it is used
to support faster healing of small wounds, chaps and scratches,
superficial burns and, as an oral preparation, for atonic wounds
and hypertrophic healing. Centella also has been used traditionally
as an anti-inflammatory, particularly for eczema,
and also for minor itching and insect bites.
I love Skin Firming Cream because it works!!
