Olive leaves are known to have oleuropein which have been studied for their wound healing and photo-protective properties. It can assist in blocking the harmful effects of UVA and UVB rays on the skin. Research has shown that wounded cells treated with olive leaf extract create more dense and organized collagen molecules (1). 

Oleuprein achieves this by stimulating fibroblastic activity and delaying aging codes in DNA.

Being a potent wound-healing agent, Centella asiatica has been used to treat ailments such as small wounds to burns, psoriasis, and scleroderma. Many of its effects relate directly to its promotive influence on collagen synthesis and soothing action on inflamed skin.

Vitamin B5 is a derivative of pantothenic acid and helps in the formation of collagen in the skin. It has been shown assist in wound healing by improving skin hydration while reducing water loss and restoring skin softness and elasticity. 

Zinc can help prevent acne flare-ups without side effects like drying or peeling. It's antioxidant and anti-inflammatory qualities can also help with managing redness of the skin.

Alpha arbutin is extracted from bearberry and is a safe derivative of hydroquinone. It is best known for its depigmenting abilities through the inhibition of melanin-forming tyrosinase. 

The topical application of Alpha Arbutin has been shown to decrease melanin in cells by approximately 76% (3)

Taurine is an amino acid that helps keep your skin cells hydrated by forming the lipid content of the epidermal layer. It generates ceramides, fatty acids, and cholesterol; all of these form a barrier that stops water evaporation from skin layers (5). 

L-arginine is an effective hydrating agent for dry skin conditions. The transfer of hydration from the dermis to the epidermis helps keep the skin supple and prevents dryness (2).

L-arginine also plays an indirect role in collagen synthesis and can help restore the skin’s elasticity.

The healing process is largely triggered by your genetics. Your genes are responsible for the down-regulation of genetic factors that determine the release of inflammatory products like α-TNF and cytokines (IL-6). 

An oversupply of these inflammatory products can have a negative effect and create more inflammation. These same pathways can also help regulate your immune system. When you are often unwell, your skin’s inflammatory responses are also affected. 

Ingredients in BIOMIMIC™ Red Correct Advanced such as Taurine and Zinc are designed to help boost skin immunity and provide extra protection against inflammatory proteins.
