What Does “Epigenetic” Mean in Skincare?

Epigenetics refers to how your lifestyle and environmental factors can switch genes on or off without changing your DNA.

These switches can influence how your skin behaves and how your skin ages; they can be shaped by daily habits or external factors. Epicelline® is our breakthrough epigenetics ingredient which, thanks to our patented Skin Age Clock Technology, has opened the doors to the future of skin rejuvenation in skincare.

What Is an Epigenetic Serum?

Face serums have become an essential step in any skin care routine as they make a noticeable difference to how the skin looks and feels. Face serums are notoriously highly concentrated and lightweight formulas, which means they absorb into your skin quickly and won’t leave a sticky residue on your face.

This is perfect for those that prefer the weightless feel when it comes to skin. By working to support how skin behave, epigenetic serums aim to supporting the skin’s youth, hence reversing the appearance of signs of aging.

How Epigenetic Serum Works on Your Skin

1. Supporting Youthful Functions of the skin

The skins renewal process naturally slows over time; Epicelline® helps support the youthful functions of the skin.

 

 2. Protecting Against Environmental Stress

As you age, your skin naturally undergoes changes, but Epigenetic factors can influence the speed and extent of these transformations. Environmental stressors like pollution, free radicals and UV exposure can affect gene expression. These stressors can accelerate skin ageing, leading to the appearance of skin ageing.

 

3. Supporting Visible Signs of Aging

Epigenetics involves changes in gene activity that doesn’t alter the DNA sequence but affects how genes function, influencing traits like skin ageing. Such as fine lies, loss of firmness, dullness, and uneven texture. NIVEA Cellular Epigenetix™ Rejuvenating Serum with EPICELLINE®, supports skin looking tighter, smoother and helps skin look youthful for longer.
