The skin’s DNA is very susceptible to damage from the sun. In fact approximately 80% of all damage to your skin such as wrinkles, age spots, and uneven skin tone and texture is caused by the sun. During a typical day your skin can only repair about 50% of that damage. The DNA repair enzymes in Photozyme MD products stimulate the body’s natural response to repair the other 50% of the damage So, why not fix the damage at its core before it ever reaches the surface of your skin in the form of wrinkles, age spots etc.
- Plant-derived enzymes mimic the body’s natural response to repair damaged skin cells
- Enzymes are encapsulated in a proprietary liposome, which delivers the enzymes where they need to go to work, stimulating the bodies natural process to repair
- The enzymes search and adhere to the damaged DNA strand only
- The cell’s natural process takes over, extracting the damage and replicating a healthy DNA strand
Photolyase (Anacystis nidulans)
• Light activated enzyme derived from algae/plankton
• Directly removes underlying cell damage caused by UV rays from the sun
Endonuclease (Micrococcus luteus)
• UV resistant microbe
• Initiates direct removal of underlying cell damage caused by UV rays from the sun
Glycosylase (Arabidopsis thaliana)
• Small flowering plant native to Eurasia
• Detects UV-B light and mediates response to this DNA damaging wavelength
As published in the April 2014 Journal of Drugs In Dermatology, leading dermatologists presented a clinically based guide to selecting topical skincare products. Key opinion leaders created what is known as the skin health and beauty pyramid. As you can see in the figure below, the skincare products that are fundamental to overall skin health are sunscreens, antioxidants, and DNA repair enzymes. In other words a solid skincare routine starts with a good foundation. Without these fundamental steps, all other products may not be as effective. Just like a house needs a strong foundation to stand tall and sturdy, your skin needs a solid foundation to stay healthy and radiant.
According to an article from 2012 in the Journal of Molecular Medicine Reports, top European Physicians studied the effects of using sunscreen alone compared to sunscreen with Photolyase (one of the DNA repair enzymes found in Photozyme MD products) and the results showed that Photolyase + sunscreen reduced sun damage by 93% compared to a 62% reduction by sunscreen alone. Everyone has skin and everyone is exposed to UV damage. Everyone needs Photozyme MD.
