Breakthrou­gh way to Reverse skin aging!

Nobel Prize-winning research reveals that cutting-edge skin savers called DNA repair enzymes can counter the effects of UV exposure— nixing brown spots, wrinkles and sagging, and even preventing skin cancer. And all that’s required is for you to slather them on!

What exactly are they?

Our bodies actually make DNA repair enzymes, which, like tiny scissors, snip out DNA that’s been damaged by pollutants and the sun’s rays, then stitch in fresh DNA that keeps skin looking young and healthy. However, the body’s ability to do this lessens each year, explains dermatolog­ical surgeon, Ronald Moy, M.D. In fact, after age 30— just when we need them most—our production of repair enzymes starts dwindling. Fortunatel­y, you can rewind time at any age by using serums and creams containing allnatural ingredient­s—like algae, plankton and mustard greens—to amp up production of DNA repair enzymes. The result: more of the collagen and elastin that makes skin healthier, firmer, clearer, smoother and more resilient.

Why not just use antioxidan­t creams?

“Most of the ‘free radical damage’ that we long thought antioxidan­ts could fight is actually DNA damage that can be fought by supplement­ing your skin’s natural DNA repair enzyme sources,” says Dr. Moy. And while antioxidan­ts can minimize new free radical damage, “they do nothing to help the skin repair DNA itself,” says Joshua Zeichner, M.D., director of cosmetic research at Mount Sinai Hospital. Groundbrea­king studies, however, show that supplement­ing skin with the enzymes can correct damage that occurred even decades ago. A UCLA report in the Journal of Drugs in Dermatolog­y, for example, reveals that using a cream with DNA repair enzymes for almost a year significan­tly restored youthful skin in people with severe sun damage.

Isn’t sunscreen enough?

While it’s still essential to wear SPFproduct­s every day, “sunscreens do not improve the old DNA damage,” Dr. Moy says. That leaves overexposu­re as far back as your childhood with the potential to develop into abnormal cells. Combining a broadspect­rum sunscreen with DNA enzyme-repair serums and creams provides the most protection.

Are they dangerous?

No! The all-natural enzymes have been studied for a decade with no known negative effects. “They are so safe, they could be eaten,” Dr. Moy says. “Plus, since it’s supplement­ing a natural process there is practicall­y no cause for irritation.”

How can I get them?

Many products are now available, including Neova DNA Damage Control Active ($35.65, Skin-etc. com) and DNA Repair Cream ($36.75, Lef.com/ww).
