New Clinique Youth Surge Keeps You Looking Young Longer

Posted by Lauren on Feb 19, 2010 in Beauty, Press Release, Skin Care | 0 comments

I never believe cosmetic companies when they say that their anti-aging creams can stave of wrinkles, reverse aging, and keep you young and beautiful forever. In the first place, I dislike it when anyone uses fantastic claims to promote their products. Secondly, aging is inevitable – there’s no way you can reverse it. Oddly enough, this is exactly why I’m convinced that Clinique Youth Surge just might work. At the press launch yesterday, we were shown a presentation on the science behind Clinique Youth Surge, Clinique’s new set of day and night moisturizers. Both make use of groundbreaking Sirtuin technology to slow down signs of aging while promoting cellular repair. What in the world are sirtuins, you might wonder? Sirtuins are a type of protein that extends cellular life and function. Every jar of Clinique Youth Surge is loaded with these life-giving sirtuins to extend the life span of your skin and visibly restore youth. Unlike many anti-aging creams, Clinique Youth Surge does not claim to reverse aging; it simply enhances the skin’s natural ability to combat the damage that accelerates aging.

Check out what the Clinique Youth Surge day and night creams can do!

Youth Surge SPF 15 Age Decelerating Moisturizer (P3650)

Youth Surge SPF 15 Age Decelerating Moisturizer uses the combination of Sirtuin technology, anti-glycation science, and UVA/UVB SPF 15 sun protection to help prevent and repair the signs of aging simultaneously.

SIRTUIN TECHNOLOGY
The unique-to-Clinique complex in Youth Surge SPF 15 Age Decelerating Moisturizer also features Isoniacinamide and NADH along with the addition of Luteoline, a powerful antioxidant found in many plants and greens including asparagus, celery and artichoke. This complex helps combat damage from daytime exposure to environmental assaults.

ANTI-GLYCATION
Additionally, Youth Surge SPF 15 Age Decelerating Moisturizer contains anti-glycation technology. Glycation is the process when free sugar found in aging skin binds to proteins and forms Advanced Glycation End-products known as AGEs. AGEs can be formed on structural proteins, such as collagen, making them brittle, or on repair enzymes, such as catalase, hindering the natural repair processes. The formation of AGEs contributes to the visible aging process by exacerbating the accumulation of damage to the skin.

Youth Surge SPF 15 Age Decelerating Moisturizer contains targeted, “decoy” molecules which help to inhibit free sugar from forming AGEs, which would otherwise damage collagen. These ingredients work to help protect fragile and healthy collagen and elastin, helping to maintain skin’s resilience and suppleness and helping to deter the future formation of lines and wrinkles.

UVA/UVB SUN PROTECTION
We also know that one of the biggest contributors to visible aging is the sun. Youth Surge SPF 15 Age Decelerating Moisturizer contains photo-stable UVA/UVB protection that helps skin resist premature aging by helping to guard against the UV “aging” rays which cause future lines and wrinkles.

While no one can reverse aging, Youth Surge Night Age Decelerating Night Moisturizer and Youth Surge SPF 15 Age Decelerating Moisturizer can certainly slow its appearance down. Skin’s visible texture is improved and noticeably firmer over time. Skin looks younger longer, by visibly correcting past damage and delaying future signs of aging. After all, what’s the rush?

Youth Surge Night Age Decelerating Night Moisturizer (P3650)

Youth Surge Night Age Decelerating Night Moisturizer uses Sirtuin technology to trigger repair-ingredients that provide skin the power to fight against lines, wrinkles and the signs of aging all while you sleep.

SIRTUIN TECHNOLOGY
Sirtuins are a class of proteins vital to helping extend the function and life of cells. Youth Surge Night Age Decelerating Night Moisturizer features a proprietary to Clinique complex that utilizes groundbreaking Sirtuin technology to help extend the “lifespan” of skin and visibly restore youth to aging skin. The unique to Clinique molecule contains Isoniacinamide, which helps optimize skin’s natural reparative functions, coupled with the powerful enzyme Micrococcus Lysate, which enhances skin’s natural ability to combat daytime damage that can accelerate the aging process.

And, with the addition of amino acid Hydroxyproline, Youth Surge Night Age Decelerating Night Moisturizer helps boost natural collagen production, maintains existing collagen, and corrects the appearance of lines and wrinkles, delivering visible results.

RESTORE AND REPAIR
Building on the scientific principle that optimal cellular activity and regeneration occurs at night when skin is not exposed to harmful environmental assaults, Youth Surge Night Age Decelerating Night Moisturizer enables skin to smoothly transition from a daytime “protect and repair mode” to a nighttime “restore and repair phase.”

The accumulative damage of free radicals on the skin can impair vital collagen and elastin leading to the formation of lines and wrinkles. According to Clinique’s Guiding Dermatologist, Dr. David Orentreich, “Skin is more permeable at night and receptive to concentrated treatments. During this natural repair cycle exposure to environmental assaults are minimized and free radical scavengers are able to “sweep away” daytime damage before it can accumulate.”

Youth Surge Night Age Decelerating Night Moisturizer features a cocktail of powerful antioxidants including Japanese Knotweed, Mulberry Root Extract, Vitamin E and Vitamin C, to help combat damage from daytime exposure to environmental assaults and to boost skin’s natural restorative mechanisms. It helps restore skin’s vitality and radiance and repair the appearance of lines and wrinkles, ultimately revealing more youthfulness in the morning. Youth Surge Night Age Decelerating Night Moisturizer also provides profound moisture at a cellular level which combats skin’s natural tendency to dehydrate at night. All-in-all, skin gains that energized “8-hour effect” come morning and looks rested, refreshed.

Youth Surge Night Age Decelerating Night Moisturizer and Youth Surge SPF 15 Age Decelerating Moisturizer 15 are available in three skin-typed formulas.

* Very Dry to Dry – a luxuriously dense and elegant cream saturates skin with intense moisture, leaving a soft, smooth feel.
* Dry Combination – a soft, whipped cream that moisturizes skin, leaving skin soft and supple.
* Combination Oily to Oily – a lightweight crème-gel delivering moisture where it is needed most, leaving skin soft and feeling refreshed. Oil-free.
