Description
When I first came across LiftLab I had to do quite a bit of forensic detective work to find out about its active ingredient, a fish plasma protein. It turned out be a very worthwhile exercise as it is an extremely interesting ingredient. It's a kind of natural anti-freeze from the plasma of fish that swim in freezing cold seas. The active protein from the plasma also protects cells from death - hence its potential as an anti-aging ingredient. LiftLab's Lift & Fix is, I have found, very helpful for red, crepey skin. The rest of the Lift & Fix formula is interesting as well. A dominant ingredient is the amino acid methylsilanol hydroxyproline aspartate and is a protein that controls the elasticity of connective tissue fibers. And there's another ingredient that comes from something that is good at withstanding extreme cold, a bacteria called alteromonas ferment extract. Researchers have found that it retains moisture. A useful cosmetic workhorse is dipotassium glycyrrhizate, licorice root. Studies have shown it to help reduce the redness and irritation. Botanicals include neem (melia azadirachta) and, more unusually, a plant used in Ayurvedic medicine called coccinia indica. This is an antioxidant, according to animal tests, and seems to work by elevating vitamin C levels in plasma. It is in great company with eggplant, a potent antioxidant (source) that is surprisingly uncommon in anti-aging cosmetics, as is holy basil extract (Ocimum sanctum), and anti-inflammatory turmeric. Lift & Fix is particularly good at refining the complexion by dealing with broken veins and rough red patches of skin. I find the consistency a little thin, but that is a minor quibble since I'd hate LiftLab to gum it up with a bunch of silicones. Especially as the only things not like are the preservatives of choice – triethanolomine and phenoxyethanol, both of which can be irritating, although Lift & Fix has not been at all bothersome to my fairly sensitive skin – and benzophone 4.
