Relastin

...Sun exposure, cigarette smoke, and stress can all deplete the skin of its elastin - and its resiliency. Until now, no product or procedure has been proven to replace this crucial component of healthy skin. But Relastin, a new eye cream, prompts elastin production, which in turn restores springiness to skin and diminishes fine lines and wrinkles. In a snap test - which determines how long it takes the skin to bounce back after being pulled - under eye skin treated with Relastin recovered more quickly. Doctors have also seen some evidence that Relastin improves puffiness and dark circles and may even tighten hand and abdominal skin as well.   

For the first time, we've seen a product that has scientific evidence of increasing the elastin content in the skin. Elastin is a key element that provides the skin its tone, in addition to promoting elasticity. Relastin has a 3-dimensional impact on the skin; until now, only physician office treatments such as lasers, fillers and Botox have been able to do that. It is a breakthrough that Relastin, as a topical product, can impact the skin on this level.

In the world of cosmeceuticals, there are few with the basic science research and potential that Relastin has.  With the benefits of zinc and the ability to transport it to where the elastin is capable of being stimulated, this product has an edge over other products.  The clinical studies and photographic assessments are also impressive. 

As my skin matures, one problem is a loss of firmness. Relastin Ultra Emollient Cream really does help generate new elastin fibers. Now my face feels tighter.

Relastin Zinc Complex (Revance) can help firm the skin by inducing functional elastin production. I find this product particularly intriguing, as functional elastin production does not occur in humans post-development.

My patients come in looking for a significant decrease in their undereye wrinkles. So far, Relastin Eye Silk is one of the only products I've seen that improves skin elasticity in this area. Lines are visibly smoother and skin effectively maintains its elasticity over time, making this product a great adjunct to cosmetic procedures.
