Top Health Award: 3 questions to Asepta

July 07, 2021

For more than 75 years, Asepta Laboratories have been manufacturing and distributing dermo-cosmetic treatments entirely designed and manufactured in the Principality of Monaco. The range of their products evolves and renews itself according to the progress of cosmetology and the era of time. In order to learn a little more about the flagship products of the laboratories and their history, we asked them our 3 questions.

1 / Can you tell us about the different products in the D’ame Nature range? What are they ? Why did you put forward a formula with 91% natural products?

Since 1943, Asepta laboratories have been listening to users and innovating to meet their expectations. Today, we are witnessing the emergence of a new generation of consumers: for them, pharmaceutical guarantees and the effectiveness of formulas are essential but insufficient. They are looking for products with natural active ingredients and ingredients that respect their health and the planet. While our classic ranges obviously meet the specifications of European cosmetic regulations and the French ANSM, the D’ame Nature range aims to go further and meet these new needs. We started with face treatments such as milky cleansing oil and moisturizers, and on the strength of our success and our know-how, we continued with body, foot and nail treatments. Today, for example, we offer nail polish formulated from vegetable solvents, bio-sourced materials and ingredients of natural origin.

2 / Can you tell us about the history of Coup d’Éclat? How did this concept come about?

In 1975, Paul Lacroix and Henri Mas, the founders of the Asepta laboratories in Monaco, wanted to create their first facial treatment. They then imagine an instant elixir capable of restoring radiance to the skin just before a party, an SOS treatment presented in single-dose format, a very innovative approach at the time. They then baptized these ampoules “Coup d’éclat” and registered this name which would become a few decades later the common expression to define this immediate lifting effect and this incredible glow that every woman seeks!

3 / How have Coup d’Eclat bulbs evolved and what is their novelty today?

The ampoule formula has constantly evolved over the past 45 years to take advantage of research into new, more effective and better tolerated active ingredients. The Lift & Light bulb launched last July benefits from new plant-tensing active ingredients for a reinforced lifting effect that is suitable for all skin types, even sensitive. Its formula has also been enriched with mineral pearls to boost the healthy glow effect and with a complex of hydrating plants and hyaluronic acid salt which gives it a new anti-wrinkle and firming action for a global action on the skin.

Top Health Award: 3 questions to Resultime

July 07, 2021

For more than 60 years, the Resultime Laboratory has been carrying out pioneering research on the issue of skin aging. Their know-how, based on the use of collagen, has enabled them to develop a range of products with proven effectiveness. In order to learn a little more about their products and their effects, we spoke with Ingrid Pernet, director of scientific communication.

1 / In your opinion today, what are the users of beauty treatments waiting for?

Currently, when we look at the studies that are being done on this subject, we notice a major upward trend: the dimension of personalization of beauty treatment. This trend has developed the use of targeted care and the creation of personalized care routines. Obviously, we have always had the habit of using treatments according to our skin type. But today, our women realize that the needs are not the same according to the seasons, their lifestyle, the times of the day… The impact of the environment on the needs of the skin is very important. . We have therefore created Collagen Boosters, which provide targeted molecules such as Vitamin C or Retinol for example. These boosters fit into the daily skincare routine and precisely and punctually reinforce the various actions: hydration, elasticity, radiance, nutrition. Boosters are therefore tailor-made treatments that everyone can use according to their current needs. A few drops in the palm of your hand, applied pure or mixed with its moisturizer, when you feel like it.

2 / Vitamin C is a molecule present at the heart of your boosters formulas, can you tell us more about its benefits?

We have launched two Boosters: one to meet the need for radiance and the other to meet the needs for density and firmness with an anti-wrinkle action: the Radiance Booster with Vitamin C and the Lift Booster with Retinol. Vitamin It is the benchmark active ingredient for radiance. It is anti-oxidant, and thus protects the skin from free radicals and on the other hand it lightens melanin, a brown to black pigment responsible for the dark coloring of the skin installed on the surface and thus gives a real boost to the skin.

3 / Many of us are concerned about the signs of aging that appear. How do you respond to this problem?

Resultime is a laboratory specializing in anti-aging care. For 60 years, our laboratory’s expertise has been based on collagen: the natural component of the skin that plays the most role in its youth, since it ensures firmness and resistance. From the age of 20, we lose 1% of collagen per year. It is therefore fundamental to restore this capital if we wish to correct and limit the appearance of signs of aging. But the collagen molecule is too big a molecule to penetrate the skin if applied directly. We have therefore developed an exclusive patented technology: vectorized micro-collagen, a small fragment of collagen that immediately penetrates the skin and in turn stimulates it to produce its own collagen. This active ingredient is at the heart of all of our skincare and of our Boosters. The Collagen Serum Gel with plumping collagen, which is the No. 1 collagen serum sold in pharmacies, is therefore our star product. You can also mix the Boosters with this serum to obtain more radiance or firmness, according to your own needs. The Retinol Booster Lift is particularly recommended for preventing the signs of aging: retinol is a powerful active ingredient for cell renewal which stimulates the production of collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid. By helping to maintain the thickness of the dermis, retinol contributes to the youthfulness of the skin.
