DMAE
DMAE is a cell membrane stabilizer, and a potent natural precursor to acetylcholine, which is necessary for firm skin. Cell membrane degradation has been shown to be one of the primary causes of premature aging. Topical use of DMAE shows remarkable effects in the reduction of fine lines and wrinkles.

Hyaluronic Acid
Hyaluronic Acid is a key component of collagen, the substance responsible for holding the body together. It is vital to the health and integrity of your skin. Hyaluronic Acid is a naturally occurring element in human connective tissue that can be described as a “space filler,” as it provides the moisture filled cushioning between our cells. The main function of Hyaluronic acid is to keep the skin moist, supple and soft. Unfortunately, Hyaluronic Acid levels decrease as we age. It has been scientifically proven to support skin renewal by greatly increasing the retention of water due to its ability to attract and bind thousands of times its weight in water. Revered as an outstanding moisturizer, Hyaluronic Acid has been used safely and effectively for years to replenish the skin’s levels. It can be used for skin that is very dry, chapped and dehydrated. It also helps to restore the smoothness and elasticity of tissue subjected to long solar exposure. It protects and hydrates the skin. Hyaluronic Acid is also a free radical scavenger and antioxidant. It is helpful following laser surgery and chemical peels. It is excellent for everyday use.

Vitamin A (Retinyl Palmitate)
Vitamin A (Retinyl Palmitate) is a component of vitamin A and palmitic acid, an ingredient which helps moisture to penetrate more easily. It has a molecular structure that's tiny enough to get into the lower layers of skin, where it finds collagen and elastin. It improves mottled pigmentation, fine lines and wrinkles, skin texture, skin tone and color, and the skin's hydration levels. It is widely accepted that Retinyl Palmitate will improve the texture of oily and acne skin and aid in the removal of dead cells. Retinyl Palmitate is an ester of retinol. Retinol will do on a lesser scale what Retin-A does; i.e. reduce fine lines, renew the skin’s “glow” and stimulate cells that make skin-supporting collagen and elastin – without the redness, flaking, and irritation of stronger Retin-A products. It can be safely used daily.

Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA)
Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA) is a potent antioxidant that is both fat and water-soluble. ALA has the ability to regenerate other essential antioxidants such as vitamins C and E, CoQ10 and glutathione. Alpha Lipoic Acid is required for the production of energy in living cells. ALA is a wonderful rejuvenating substance when presented in the proper therapeutic amount such as is present in RC.

L-Carnosine
L-Carnosine is a dipeptide of the amino acids beta-Alanine and l-Histamine. L-Carnosine is naturally present in the human body, however its level declines as we age. L-Carnosine has the remarkable ability to rejuvenate cells and connective tissue, restoring normal appearance and extending cellular lifespan. L-Carnosine prevents skin collagen cross-linking, which leads to loss of elasticity and wrinkles. As a potent antioxidant, l-Carnosine effectively quenches the most destructive of free radicals, the hydroxyl radical, as well as super oxide, singlet oxygen and the peroxyl radical. L-Carnosine also protects cellular DNA and chromosomes from oxidative damage that accumulates with age.

Vitamin C
Vitamin C, properly formulated, helps skin appear firmer and makes for a smoother complexion by diminishing the appearance of fine lines. It helps restore elasticity and helps to reduce puffiness and dark circles under the eyes. Preliminary studies have found that a cream containing Vitamin C produces positive changes in sun-damaged skin. Regena Cell's Vitamin C is stabilizied, and ph buffered.

Vitamin E Vitamin E is known as the “protection vitamin” of the skin, because it protects the cell membranes from damage of free oxygen radicals. It has anti-inflammatory properties, increases skin moisture and promotes wound healing. Vitamin E prevents the skin from premature aging induced by UV irradiation and lipid peroxidation. It can be used for skin that is dry, chapped, dehydrated and sun damaged, also following laser surgery and chemical peels.

Aloe Vera Gel Aloe Vera Gel is a superb penetrating, moisturizing agent. It helps keep the skin supple, encourages skin rejuvenation and has been used in the control of acne and eczema. Aloe's healing power comes from increasing the availability of oxygen to the skin, and by increasing the synthesis and strength of tissue. Aloe Vera clinical tests show that it supports surgical recovery and fast healing of wounds and reduction of scarring, minimizes frostbite damage, soothes burns and sunburn, screens out radiation, helps psoriasis and has anti-inflammatory properties. It can relieve itching due to insect bites and allergies. Aloe Vera helps to stimulate the body's immune system while being naturally hypoallergenic with about the same pH balance of the skin.

Panthenol (Vitamin B-5)
Dexapanthenol (Vitamin B-5) is an important skin nutrient required for the production of Co-Enzyme-A. It is Co-Enzyme-A that supplies energy to the cells. This supports rejuvenation and longevity. When Panthenol comes into contact with skin, it is converted into pantothenic acid, a B Complex factor. Panthenol also works with DMAE in the production of acetylcholine which firms and tones the skin.

Lecithin
Lecithin is included because it supplies all of the phosphatides naturally found in cell membranes; especially phosphatidylcholine, an important nutrient that repairs and maintains cell membranes. This special emulsified lecithin is more readily available to the cells. This increases penetration to more efficiently repair and maintain cell membranes. Remember, as your cells age, so do you!

NaPCA
NaPCA is a wonderful moisturizing agent. As children, our skin possessed an abundant supply of this remarkable moisturizing agent called NaPCA (sodium PCA). This substance, in addition to keeping skin soft and wrinkle-free, chemically attracts water from the surrounding air. As we age, sodium PCA levels drop by 50% or more. By replenishing your natural supply of sodium PCA, Regena Cell Anti-Aging Cream helps recapture youthful beauty!

Grape Seed Extract
Grape Seed Extract has mildly astringent qualities which help to tighten and tone the skin, making it useful for acne and other skin conditions. Grape seed extract contains proanthocyanidins, which are considered to be very potent antioxidants, helpful for diminishing the sun's damaging effects, lessening free-radical damage and is also helpful in wound healing. It is rich in linoleic acid, an essential fatty acid important for the skin and the cell membranes, with regenerative and skin moisturizing properties.

Chamomile Extract
Chamomile Extract promotes healthy skin and is rich in Azulene, a natural anti-inflammatory and healing agent. It has a natural skin softening and soothing component that improves texture and reduces fine lines and wrinkle.

Horsetail Extract
Horsetail Extract’s healing properties, known since ancient Roman times, are from its high content of vegetal silica, which has a softening and smoothing effect on the skin. It has astringent and wound healing properties, and contains the bio-minerals (manganese, magnesium, iron and copper) necessary for collagen and elastin biosynthesis, linking the produced collagen fibers to help rebuild connective tissue.

Centella Asiatica Extract
Centella Asiatica Extract has antibacterial, anti-psoriatic and wound-healing properties. It contains compounds that exert a balancing effect on connective tissue with improved function and integrity of the collagen matrix. It also prevents or limits the shrinkage and swelling of the skin caused by infection and inhibits scar formation, increasing healing and reducing fibrosis.

PABA
PABA (Para-amino benzoic acid) is crucial to the body’s production of important vitamins such as folic acid, K, and B1. Our PABA is natural, and does not cause the skin reactions associated with the synthetic form.

Vegetable glycerin
Vegetable glycerin helps maintain the water balance in the intercellular matrix of the skin and in so doing, maintains the skin's homeostasis. Glycerin helps other lipids to perform their work more effectively.

Chirality The concept of chirality is very important in skin care because the body’s receptors are all chiral. They are like gloves that are made to fit only the correct hand. Skin care products need to be chirally correct for the proper fit onto the skin’s receptors. This results in an effective product. This is a formulating secret that you will be hearing more about in the years to come.
