A synergetic bridge between science and nature… We would call it Bellefontaine, the spring left unaffected by time
Fight against soft inflammation
Soft or silent inflammation, which is also known as inflammaging, or inflamm’aging, is a recognized scientific phenomenon. It is the non-genetic aging of the skin caused by a chronic inflammation of the cells.
In soft inflammation, the body does not begin the repair stage that should usually happen. This causes the release of free radicals, which attack collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid, harming the skin. Consequently, collateral effects include wrinkles, redness, a dull complexion and premature aging.
The skin’s defenses need to be stimulated in order to block and prevent this process.
Therefore, Bellefontaine research is focused on the fight against free radicals to protect the skin and illuminate it by boosting the skin’s immune system. The vigorous active ingredients that work in synergy with the anti-radical action will ensure incredible and visible results.
According to the case, each Bellefontaine treatment will stimulate the synthesis of collagen or elastin, release hyaluronic acid and smooth the skin.
