It’s inevitable—in living life, going places and being a person existing on earth, everybody eventually starts ageing. Whether it’s genetic programming, lifestyle choices, or just the passage of time, our bodies start to evolve and change; most prominently reflected on the face. Ever since it’s been established that collagen production decreases as we age, from as early as our late-20s, the beauty world has been hard at work trying to counteract its effects with everything from supplements and broths to scientific breakthroughs in the labs. Retinoids have become synonymous with anti-ageing skincare, as are antioxidants and PDRN. More recently, the baton has been passed on to exosomes—or the tiny vesicles that act as messengers between cells. Carrying proteins, lipids and genetic material, they can influence cell behaviour to stimulate collagen and elastin production. Lauded for their regenerative and reparative properties, they can already be found in both topical and clinical applications.
And yet, exosomes are still just one corner of the cellular universe. Setting their sights further, DR’s Secret is tapping into the secretome for skin longevity instead. Exosomes facilitate extracellular communication, but the secretome encompasses the entire collection of bioactive molecules like exosomes, growth factors, cytokines and peptides. Where exosomes trigger targeted responses like anti-inflammatory signalling and cellular rejuvenation, secretomes recalibrate the skin’s micro-environment as a whole to support healing, renewal and repair from the inside-out.
Harnessing a 100 percent pure, ethically-sourced secretome in their formulation, otherwise known as the SC-MPI™ Complex, the BioSC Ampoule penetrates the skin to stimulate naturally-occurring rejuvenation processes. While traditional formulations address specific concerns, the BioSC Ampoule supports skin health on a comprehensive scale—effectively fortifying it against oxidative stress and irritants. Further preserving its efficacy is the dual-chamber packaging, where the SC-MPI™ Complex remains in freeze-dried powder form until it is shaken and activated upon contact with the base concentrate. With diligent use, expect a firmer complexion, visible reduction in wrinkles and strengthened skin barrier—as reported in a 28-day clinical study. In fact, 100 percent of the study’s participants found that the BioSC Ampoule helped to repair sensitised complexions.
Bolstering the absorption of the ampoule is the Booster Essence, a pre-serum with cica-coated spicules encapsulated within. Derived from sea sponges, the needle-like structures—or Spi-Q™—create temporary microchannels along the epidermis, delivering the SC-MPI™ Complex past the surface and deeper into the skin to optimise its efficacy. The lightweight gel spreads out easily on the face, providing a gentle micro-needling experience with a light tingling sensation upon first use. After letting it sink in, a thin layer of the BioSC Ampoule goes on to nourish and equip the complexion with the full regenerative benefits of the secretome. As the dynamic duo works hard to supplement and restore the cells’ natural functions, it’s a reminder that we’re no longer fighting biological changes—but adapting to it so we look and feel our best, even without make-up on. Having high-performing formulations in fast-absorbing textures as part of our daily rituals certainly makes it all less daunting.
