The aging process changes the skin structure: the epidermis and the dermis become atrophied as collagen and elastin fibers are depleted,the activity and number of melanocytes decline, leaving cells without protection from UV rays and therefore also from free radicals. Skin becomes rough and loses its firmness and suppleness; wrinkles begin to form.

Berkemyol^® potentilla is an active ingredient, derived from potentilla rhizomes, rich in stabilized polyphenols. It offers a unique combination of properties that help effectively fight against the effects of cutaneous aging, limiting the damage caused by free radicals and maintaing a global action on dermal components.
