The Mother Of Skin
This beautiful hydrating milk addresses all (not just some) of skin’s most pressing concerns. Think of it as a mother for your skin. Like a mother, it protects, provides and comforts when nothing else will do.
Fiercely Protective
Potentci contains an extremely powerful antioxidant complex that marries Nature and Science. The primary antioxidants are Dipalmitoyl Hydroxyproline (DPHP) and Dimethylmethoxy Chromanol (DMMC). Together, these antioxidants provide multiple times the protection of natural antioxidants like Vitamin C and E, plus are much more stable.
DPHP has the additional benefit of helping to firm and restore plumpness to the skin by stimulating the contraction of collagen fibers. It is a known wrinkle corrector and plumping agent.
DMMC is extremely valuable because of its broad spectrum protection capabilities. While most antioxidants only protect against oxygen (21% of the atmosphere) free radicals, DMMC provides antioxidant protection against nitrogen (78% of the atmosphere) free radicals and lipid peroxidation as well.
Antioxidants are a key aspect of any “mother” moisturizer because free radicals are the primary source of aging, and the two biggest sources of free radicals are impossible to avoid: UV radiation and pollution.
Antioxidants are powerful anti-inflammatories as well, because free radicals cause significant inflammation on a cellular level.
Hydration Technology
Mothers care for us and meet all our needs.
Skin absolutely needs moisture. It is crucial to proper enzyme function. In fact, without proper intra-cellular water hydration, skin’s desquamation enzymes cannot function and the skin gets dull and congested. Lack of hydric moisture is a little-known but very common contributor to chronic skin congestion.
Potentci is carefully formulated to provide a sophisticated balance of lipidic and hydric moisture. It restores and fortifies the skin barrier’s lipid matrix with ceramides and cholesterol. It helps the skin strengthen its own water retention and barrier capabilities with niacinamide and glucosamine.
The niacinamide/glucosamine complex aids with reducing hyperpigmentation and lightening acne scars as well.
A “super plant” blend of oils and butters including Muru Muru, Abyssinian, Moringa and Sacha Inchi offers a bounty of vital nutrition and skin super foods, including anti-inflammatory Omega 3s and mega antioxidant and skin repair superstar Vitamin E. Phytosterols from Pomegranate help to prevent trans-epidermal water loss.
Powerfully Anti-aging and Healing
The herbs and botanicals included in Potentci are absolutely magical. Snow Mushroom, Horse Chestnut, Rhodiola Rosea, Mushroom Beta Glucan, Copaiba Balsam and Jericho Rose Resurrection Plant work synergistically to protect skin cell DNA, strengthen capillaries, offer adaptogenic benefits, reduce stress and inflammation, prevent free radical damage and improve the overall health and tone of the skin.
Potentci contains a combination of two peptides that interact with the most relevant protein structures of the dermal-epidermal junction (DEJ). These peptides significantly stimulate Laminin V, Collagen type IV, VII and XVII and Intergrin, strengthening and firming the structure of the DEJ. Skin tone, compactness, elasticity, firmness and smoothness all improve with continued use.
Potentci is a light to medium weight moisturizer suitable for day and evening. Very dry skins may wish to supplement with a cream, oil or balm.
(We have recently made slight changes to our formula due to supplier changes. Our proprietary herbal blend has changed slightly. Due to these changes, the cost of Potentci will increase slightly in November 2020, to $150)
Featured Botanicals
8 dermal protection matrices
Tri-potency peptide technology
A proprietary peptide complex especially geared towards aging, scarred and glycated skins. All relevant protein structures (including collagen and elastin) of the dermal-epidermal junction are stimulated, resulting in improved skin compactness, firmness and tonicity. The complex also stimulates dermal filling, repair and renewal mechanisms of the skin, leading to a decreased volume of coarse wrinkles and acne scars.
Inhibits collagenase
An extract of natural rice peptides protects the skin from the collagen degrading effects of collagenases induced either by UV-radiation or other skin irritants. This rice protein extract helps to delay early skin aging, characterized by degeneration of matrix proteins, wrinkle formation, reduced elasticity and skin dryness. Rice protein extract is able to block the very damaging effect of collagenases induced by sun radiation, namely the collagen breakdown.
Tetrad Hydration Complex
Properly hydrated skin heals much faster. Our multi-matrix hydration technology includes skin identical ceramides, cholesterol, saccharides, cold processed fatty acids and Pseudoalteromonas Ferment. These bacterial glycoproteins include compounds that powerfully stimulate collagen and elastin. Test results show Collagen I increased 128% in 15 days; Collagen IV increased 81% in 15 days; Elastin Levels increased 31% in 15 days.
Inhibits 5a-reductase
5a reductase is an enzyme responsible for the conversion of testosterone into DHT (a more powerful androgen). Elevated 5a reductase activity is a cause of hormonal acne. Inhibiting 5a reductase stops the negative effect of testosterone on the sebaceous follicle.
Replenishes linoleic acid
Acneic skin typically shows a linoleic fatty acid deficiency in the sebum composition. Pumpkin seed oil is high in linoleic acid and helps restore the proper balance in the skin’s sebum, making it less sticky and prone to pore-clogging.
Inhibits inflammatory mediators
Interleukin-1a is an inflammatory mediator. It has been shown to be present in high concentrations in the skin of acne sufferers. Interleukin-1a has also been shown to promote hyper keratinization, or the abnormal stickiness of dead skin cells.
Kills p.acnes bacteria
Kills both p.acnes bacteria types – type 1 and type 2. There are 2 types of p.acnes bacteria and tea tree oil only kills type 1( gram-positive), not type 2 (gram negative). Black cumin and manuka oils successfully destroy both types.
Normalizes sebum production
With proper hydration and protection, skin will naturally stop over-producing sebum. Oily skin is often an indicator of damaged or dehydrated skin trying to protect and repair itself as best as it knows how. Oily skin requires compassionate understanding, not harsh and oil-free products.
