When it comes to skincare, few ingredients have garnered as much attention as Retinol. Known for its ability to reduce wrinkles and improve skin texture, it has long been a staple in anti-ageing regimens. REGENEXTM is even more powerful, offering faster, more effective results without irritation. Dermatologist-tested and backed by clinical proof, REGENEXTM stands as the world’s most powerful anti-ageing treatment.


Ahead, we delve into how both work and why REGENEXTM is the treatment you should be adding to your skincare routine. 


Retinol and how it works

Retinol, a derivative of vitamin A, has been a go-to ingredient in skincare for decades. It works by accelerating cell turnover, which can help reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and hyperpigmentation. By promoting the shedding of old skin cells and the production of new ones, Retinol encourages a smoother, more even complexion.


However, Retinol is not without its downsides. It can be irritating to the skin, especially for those with sensitive skin. Users often experience redness, peeling, and dryness as their skin adjusts to the ingredients. While effective, Retinol can require a period of adjustment before the benefits are fully realised.


REGENEXTM and how it works

Formulated in Seoul, REGENEXTM is a breakthrough anti-ageing complex made up of 3 key actives: Exosomes, Peptides and Spicules. A cutting-edge, patented complex that regenerates skin cells, it boosts collagen, keratin, skin barrier and elastin to reverse signs of ageing.

 

 

REGENEXTM works by stimulating the skin's natural repair processes. It enhances collagen production, promotes cell turnover, and helps reduce inflammation, leading to a more youthful appearance. REGENEXTM has also been clinically proven to be 7.2 times more powerful than Retinol in reversing wrinkles for performance like never seen before. [1]

Clinical study: REGENEXTM vs. Retinol*

A recent clinical study conducted by Dermapro Skin Research Center in Seoul, South Korea, compared the efficacies of REGENEXTM Serum and Retinol. The study involved 21 male and female subjects aged 49 to 60, each with varying signs of facial ageing. Participants applied REGENEXTM on one half of their face and Retinol on the other, with assessments conducted over eight weeks at multiple points.


Average wrinkle reduction following 8 weeks of daily application:

  • Glabellar Wrinkles: REGENEXTM: -10.4% | Retinol: -5.7%
  • Nasolabial Folds: REGENEXTM: -8.9% | Retinol: -3.6%
  • Upper Lip: REGENEXTM: -6.2% | Retinol: -3.3%
  • Periorbital Wrinkles: REGENEXTM: -8.2% | Retinol: -5.5%
  • Forehead Wrinkles: REGENEXTM: -9.5% | Retinol: -1.2%

By week 4, REGENEXTM showed a 7.2 times greater reduction in forehead wrinkles compared to retinol. After 8 weeks, subjects exhibited an average 11.74% reduction in overall wrinkle depth and 11.10% reduction in overall wrinkle size with REGENEXTM, highlighting its superior efficacy and good safety profile.

 

 

Anti-pigmentation efficacy:

  • L Value Reduction (indicating pigmentation level):*
    • REGENEXTM after 8 weeks: -1.61%
    • Retinol after 8 weeks: -0.35%

In just two weeks, REGENEXTM demonstrated an astonishing 17 times more reduction in hyperpigmentation compared to retinol. By the end of the study, the average reduction in hyperpigmentation with REGENEXTM was significant, reaffirming its effectiveness in targeting age spots and uneven skin tone.

The power of Exosomes

Further supporting the effectiveness of REGENEXTM is a body of research highlighting the role of Exosomes in skin repair and rejuvenation. According to a study published in Science Daily, Exosomes demonstrate remarkable capabilities in enhancing tissue repair and regeneration. This study emphasises the potential of Exosome-based treatments to outperform traditional approaches, including Retinol.


Another insightful study delves into how Exosome therapy accelerates skin repair, showing that these vesicles play a vital role in facilitating healing at the cellular level. The insights from both studies collectively reinforce the notion that Exosomes could revolutionise anti-ageing skincare.


The future of anti-ageing

While Retinol has long been celebrated for its anti-ageing benefits, REGENEXTM has emerged as a superior alternative, backed by clinical studies and proven results.
