Myrti'lla

Over time, reactive but also normal skin types become increasingly subject to redness. Most often temporary, skin redness may become established and permanent due to sluggish microcirculation. In fact, microcirculation slows down with age, the number and quality of blood vessels begin to decline, and the constituents of the vessel walls break down. 

Myrti’lla is a plant-origin ingredient obtanied from bilberry leaves, rich in polyphenols. It fights against the unsightly appearance of redness and signs of cutaneous aging, for a fresh complexion free of redness.
