- What makes this range special?
A. Biohance has formulated these products with the world’s most advanced anti-aging ingredients. The clinical evidence for the success of these ingredients is overwhelming. - Surely there are new and improved ingredients coming out all the time?
A. Yes, but some of them are so new, they are not yet proven on the market. This is why Biohance has adopted only those that we know work and have a proven track record. - Then what distinguishes your products from those we might buy containing the same ingredients?
A. Most commercial companies do not divulge the content of active ingredients within their formulae. Experience has told us that a lot of the competing products are sub-therapeutic. That is, there are not enough of the active ingredients contained to do what they say that it will do. Biohance bases its formulae MINIMALLY on laboratory tests (in vitro) and what works successfully on the skin (in vivo). Clinical data is readily available to back up what we say. - Other companies claim their products are the best. What makes yours different?
A. Biohance has adopted the best that the latest, non-invasive technology can provide. The reality is that because we are a relatively small company, we are able to utilize the best that new technology can offer in a very short time. Often the larger multi-national companies will lag the market by around 5 years before similar products are launched. The size and scale of their marketing machinery warrants a much longer lead time than we have. - What’s all the fuss about “biopeptides”?
A. Biopeptide technology represents the very latest in skin anti-aging research. It is only through new breakthroughs in what we learn about skin science that these new products emerge. Over the last 30 years much of the product development that has occurred worldwide had been through the success of antioxidant skin formulations. However, because most antioxidants such as vitamins A, C and E are inherently unstable, product development through the years involved improving the stability of these antioxidants. While vitamin antioxidants are hugely important to the function of the skin and they still have a major part to play in skin health, we now find that biopeptide technology has leap-frogged a lot of the benefits of antioxidants in terms of anti-aging. Antioxidants preserve the skin from free radical damage caused by normal, everyday living in the fast lane. Biopeptide technology changes our skin by stimulating collagen production at the deepest layers. - How do ‘biopeptides’work?
A. Essentially, biopeptides are synthetic copycats of proteins already in your body. As part of the natural life cycle of cells in your body, cells age and break down and become replaced. As they breakdown, long complex proteins split off into smaller protein fragments which become natural triggers for your body to begin the regeneration process or another chain event. In the case of Biohance Night Formulation, the biopeptide involved is palmitoyl pentapeptide-3 ( Matrixyl™). This peptide is responsible for triggering the process for the regeneration of natural collagen in the dermal layers of the skin. For Biohance Daily Wrinkle Release, the peptide responsible is acetyl hexapeptide-8 (Argireline®). This peptide emulates the natural protein fragment that blocks the biochemical transmitter release at the neuromuscular junction that is responsible for wrinkle formation. There is also another mechanism that involves the ‘SNAP’ biochemical process – watch this space for more at some point in the future! - Isn't the Morning Balm just another after shave product?
A. We have gone a step beyond just adding a “me too” after shave balm onto the market. We know that most NZ men would be lucky or bothered to apply one skin care product to their face. We just made it worth their while as we have ensured that the formula includes natural antioxidants and anti-aging marine proteins to the formula.
