Scientific Background

Comprehensive understanding of skin damage and ageing at the molecular and biochemical level was essential for the development of the Zelens cosmeceuticals.

Environmental factors such as ultraviolet light, pollution, cigarette smoke, alcohol and stress cause oxidative injury characterized by the formation of free radicals, which are highly reactive molecules. Free radicals may damage cell membranes, cellular structures and DNA. Accumulation of the oxidative damage generated by free radicals is a primary mechanism causing premature skin ageing.

Critical to slowing down premature skin ageing is the use of antioxidants to fight free radicals and neutralise skin damage caused by them.

Zelens innovative formulations contain a complex of 14 different antioxidants which work synergistically to counteract oxidative injury to the skin and prevent premature skin ageing.

Dr. Lens comments:

“No one can escape the daily harmful effects of oxidative stress in the skin. This is why I have formulated the Zelens Skin Science cosmeceuticals to both protect from free radicals generated by environmental aggressors – and to repair oxidative cellular damage, leading to the rejuvenation of the skin”.

Developed using advanced skincare technology, Zelens formulations have been extensively tested for the safety and efficacy according to the current legislations and recommendations at international research institutes and laboratories in Australia, France, Italy and Germany. No animal testing has been conducted.
