I have previously talked about Dr. Ronald Moy, and in particularly the DNA Renewal Restoring Mask, but if you missed it, you can see it here.
If you haven't heard of Dr. Ronald Moy, I can tell you that he is a world-renowned dermatologist certified by the American Board of Dermatology and the American Board of Cosmetic Surgery, specialising in cosmetic and plastic surgery, face-lifts, liposuction, laser skin resurfacing and Sclerotherapy. Along with being president for various medical boards and societies over the years, he has dedicated his life’s work to understanding the impact of photo damage on skin’s health and ageing. Dr. Moy originally developed the DNA Renewal range as a means to reverse pre-cancers in patients with severely sun damaged skin, after further research he also found the DNA repair enzymes used in alliance with growth factors revealed dramatic age-reversing results.
As the master control for all skin functions, healthy DNA is vital to beautiful skin. With ageing, the production of DNA Repair Enzymes declines. Skin cell turnover slows down dramatically, cellular repair becomes deficient, and the dermal matrix weakens. “By introducing an active DNA repair enzyme cream onto the skin you can introduce repair enzymes within the skin that will support the proliferation of new cell turnover and encourage the elimination of DNA damage,” says Dr Moy.
The Dr. Ronald Moy DNA Intensive Renewal is a super lightweight lotion that is to be used morning and night after cleaning. As it is so light, it is best for those with normal to oilier skin types, so it is absolutely perfect for my combination skin.
The lotion claims to targets the skin’s natural DNA repair processes and infuses it with optimal hydration to counter ageing effects, and by activating the recovery of youthful skin with the highest levels of DNA repair enzymes, it encourages a visible surge in skin’s moisture levels and restores skin vitality, retains moisture, soothes skin and works against age spots and sun damage.
It contains among others;
- DNA Repair Enzymes engineered from marine and botanical sources, to replenish those the skin loses due to age and sun damage, and thus activate the recovery of youthful skin. These DNA Repair Enzymes are delivered through liposomes to penetrate deeply into the skin
- Hibiscus Peptide, an active extract works to rev up youthful cell turn over and restoring skin vitality, while achieving fuller, smoother skin,
- Rapeseed Sterols to protects against loss of hydration in the skin.
- Salicornia Herbacaea Extract, an ultra-hydrating extract retains and boosts the moisture level in the skin, and restores skin's natural lipid barrier
- Alba Flower to help soothe, inflammation, hyper-pigmentation and age spots.
- Nonapeptide-1, a skin lightening peptide that attacks UV-induced damage to help control hyper-pigmentation and inhibit age spots to restore an even skin tone.
It thereby also helps to;
- Increase moisture levels, make the skin look more glowing with a more youthful radiance.
- Make the skin plumper, more supple and hydrated
- Reduce fine lines & wrinkles
- Reveal a more even-toned, younger, healthier and more flawless skin
With combination skin, I love how light this DNA Intensive Renewal is and how quickly it absorbs into the skin, immediately leaving it feeling soft and smooth, and without any greasiness. I am at the age where I am concerned with anti-ageing with increasing lines, as well as increasing pigmentation, age spots and sun damage, and not to mention dark marks from past blemishes and acne. And after using for just a few weeks, I was very excited when I clearly started noticing that my skin was not only looking softer and smoother and clearly intensely hydrated which gave my skin a glow I haven't seen in a very long time, it also made some of my finer lines appear smaller. But what I am most impressed about is that it has made quite a difference in my skin tone, making it so much more even, with pigmentation, and those annoying acne marks so much lighter. This serum is clearly not cheap, but as you only need the smallest pump to cover your full face, the bottle will last you a long time, I estimate several months, and I can already tell that I dread the day that I run out, as my skin is clearly improving by the day using this.
Then there's the Dr. Ronald Moy DNA Lip Balm, and I don't know about you, but I am sad to admit that while I am and have been using anti-ageing products on my face for a very long time, I often use very basic products on my lips - so I am very excited about this lip balm. It is a part of the anti-ageing DNA range, and contains among others natural beeswax, cocoa seed butter, shea butter, candelila oil, plankton extract and coconut oil, combined with the DNA Repair Enzymes which are delivered through liposomes to penetrate deeply as described above, to add instant hydration and moisture to the lips, while repairing the lips and reducing the damage caused by the harsh sun. It also promises to refresh the lips, eliminate dullness and give the lips more vibrant appearance.
I have to admit that I cannot really tell any major changes or improvements in my lips since using this lip balm, but I can see that my lips look healthy with a nice sheen, without being glossy. And I actually really like this lip balm as unlike most others I've tried, it absorbs completely into the lips without any greasiness or stickiness, so within a few moments you don't even know you're wearing it - well apart from the fact that it leaves the lips feeling very soft and hydrated, so clearly the liposome technology is doing its part letting the DNA Repair Enzymes absorb completely. As it is non greasy it is seriously the perfect lip balm to use under lipsticks, though I also love using it just before bed, knowing that as it is absorbed into my skin, I won't wipe it off on my pillow, and it will continue to treat my lips throughout the night. For a lip balm the just under $20 may sound a little pricey, but once you've given it a try, you can only agree that its totally worth every cent.
So yet again more than impressed with the products from Dr. Ronald Moy, so if you haven't yet tried his products and you're concerned with anti-ageing, you really should, you won't regret it.
