| Raising the stakes in the skin care market, Dior has launched its Capture R60/80 XP range, based ground-breaking stem cell technology - Stemsone. The range comprises of Restoring Serum, Restoring Crème, Restoring Crème Light and Restoring Eye. These replace the equivalent products in the current Capture R60/80 range.
The products are said to repair the skin by cellular repopulation and strengthening of the tissue, with a three-step process said to show results by up to 60% in one hour, with more intensified results after a months use, and a lasting finish after two.
The first step is Bi-Skin patented technology which targets the surface of the wrinkle giving an immediate smoothed effect. This process is followed by TP-Vityl technology that claims to restart cellular activity by protecting the life force of the stem cells, allowing the possibility for more new tissue to then be regenerated. Finally, the Bionectine technology has been formulated to recognise and redirect the tissue's supporting framework, producing a walled barrier and strengthening the skin from underneath the wrinkle.
The new technology has been heralded as the first anti-wrinkle skin care line born from research on the skin's stem cells at the Dior Innovation Centre. |  |
