About the results

The AWvi Skin complex

P.P. EP4151217

Our proven results are powered by the AWvi Skin Complex—a proprietary and patented blend of nutraceutical and cosmeceutical ingredients, formulated at optimal dosages to counteract the ageing process across every layer of the skin.

 

EMBRACING COMPLEX SYSTEMS AND THE INTERACTOME

Our formulas are intricately designed to embrace the complexity of the body's internal and external systems. We go beyond surface-level solutions by factoring in the 'interactome'—a complex interplay of genetic, microbial, and environmental influences that shape your health.

 

BIOMIMETIC AND MEDICAL-GRADE INGREDIENTS

Through a biomimetic approach, we utilise medical-grade ingredients that mirror the body's own chemistry and biology. This ensures unparalleled effectiveness in every formula, bringing the best of science to your skin.

 

SYNERGISTIC DESIGN FOR TRANSFORMATIVE OUTCOMES

Each ingredient is meticulously developed for its unique role within each formula and its capacity to work synergistically across all formulas. The result is transformative, evidence-backed outcomes that work from the inside-out and the outside-in, amplifying the individual benefits of each component.

How it Works

The Gentle Cleanser

One of the first things most of us do when we wake up is wash our face: it's an instinctive act that helps us awaken and is used to remove anything that might have built up on our skin during the night. This action also serves to renew the shield of the epidermis and reactivate it.

When discussing a delicate and often exposed area like the face, the part of our body that is most exposed, along with our hands, and the part that undergoes the most external attacks and treatments, such as makeup and shaving, it becomes essential to use the right cleansing and hygiene system.

This system allows for the emulsifying and removal of dirt, oil, and other impurities from the skin's surface while preserving the delicate balances of both the skin's pH and its microbiome.

While water removes everything that's water-soluble, on its own, it's insufficient for eliminating other types of traces. This is why ‘surfactants’ are added: substances capable of removing what water can't.

The surfactants included in our formula not only ensure effective skin cleansing but also facilitate the absorption of the other premium active ingredients contained in our formula. These high-quality ingredients are rarely found in products of this type and provide benefits that go far beyond what a standard cleanser offers. Working synergistically, these components offer the skin hydration, rebalance, and defense of its microbiome, in addition to an anti-inflammatory effect, providing benefits that exceed simple expectations, enhancing the overall health of the skin.

The result is a highly structured Cleanser.

Focus on topical hero ingredients

Active Water

Most skincare products are composed largely of water (up to 90%, by volume), which serves primarily as a base. We have made this essential component an active ingredient.

Our active water is upcycled, extracted from the non-edible portions of organic Mediterranean green mandarins (The Power Serum) and red oranges (The Gentle Cleanser and The Active Cream).

Compared to demineralised or distilled water, our microbiologically pure water offers a protective effect against oxidation, UV rays, and pollution.

Our active water also has anti-inflammatory properties and forms a protective film that strengthens the skin barrier. Moreover, it contains a type of salt that is recognised by the body and assists in the absorption of other ingredients.

How to use

The Gentle Cleanser

In the morning and evening, apply a nickel-sized amount to damp skin, then gently massage over face and neck. Rinse with water.

Benefit measurement protocol

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum

Where does it come from?

Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..", comes from a line in section 1.10.32.

The standard chunk of Lorem Ipsum used since the 1500s is reproduced below for those interested. Sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 from "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" by Cicero are also reproduced in their exact original form, accompanied by English versions from the 1914 translation by H. Rackham.
