Products in this review: ActiveSol SC (Ganoderma Lucidum (Mushroom) Extract, Pentylene Glycol).
For several years now, adaptogens have been indispensable allies in products for sensitive and stressed skin. The term entered cosmetics through the wellness trend, with its emphasis on physical health, mental wellbeing and a balanced, fulfilling life. Adaptogens were previously consumed in teas and dietary supplements to cope with stress and boost energy, but it soon became clear that, if adaptogens help the body adapt to stress from within, they bring no less benefit to the skin. Adaptogens increase the skin’s resistance to external stressors such as UV radiation, environmental pollutants and blue light, soothing and protecting it. These include ashwagandha, rhodiola, ginseng, Centella asiatica… and, of course, reishi — the mushroom of immortality from traditional Chinese medicine.
Despite its modest appearance, reishi (Ganoderma Lucidum) is a truly unusual adaptogen. It is an ingredient that addresses a new problem in cosmetic skincare that you may not even have been aware of…
That problem is heat-induced skin ageing! Chronic external overheating causes collagen and elastin degradation, impairs barrier function, and accelerates oxidative processes and skin ageing.
ActiveSol SC (Ganoderma Lucidum (Mushroom) Extract, Pentylene Glycol), a product from REVADA’s own brand, delivers efficacy against heat-induced ageing. This water-glycol reishi mushroom extract cools and soothes the skin and slows premature ageing thanks to its rich composition of active ingredients: triterpenes, polysaccharides, polypeptides, beta-glucans and more.
The product performs particularly well in:
- products for sensitive and irritation-prone skin;
- antioxidant skincare products;
- moisturisers, thanks to its stimulation of aquaporin-3 production, which regulates water transport in the skin.
Adding ActiveSol SC to a formulation provides soothing and moisturising effects with a gentle cooling sensation that signals to the customer: the skin has cooled down, which means the product is working.
