Firmness and elasticity are key biomarkers for youthful skin. Alongside biological “long-term” approaches (e.g., epigenetic modulation), neuro- and sensocosmetic strategies as well as instant lifting are gaining importance, driven by consumer expectations for immediately visible and scientifically proven results. “Skinimalism” (fewer products, more performance), personalization (including AI-supported diagnostics), and “well-aging”/longevity are also important topics in today’s trend landscape.
This article compares four active ingredients with complementary mechanisms of action: CALNEURIN®-SENSE (neuro-/sensocosmetic approach), LIFTONIN®-QI (epigenetic stress reduction), MYRAMAZE®-ESSENCE (sensocosmetic stress reduction), and LIFTONIN®-XPRESS (instant mechanical tightening). The activities of these ingredients are analyzed with regard to visual skin firming, structural skin firming, dynamic skin firming and sensory skin improvements.
