Neck Elasticity Catalyst (NEC)

Works to increase visible skin density—in relation both to surface and subcutaneous levels—as a secondary mechanism to help visible viscoelasticity and reduce visible formation of persistent irregularities.

PRO-ELASTIN AND PRO-ELASTIC-FIBRE TECHNOLOGIES: These technologies respect the elasticity protein—or elastin—and elastic fibres for a direct increase in the look of elasticity:

• Fundamental Protein Tetrapeptide.
• Leontopodic Acid (Plant Biotechnology.)
• Plantamajoside Phenylpropanoid Complex (Plant Biotechnology.)

UN-ENZYME TECHNOLOGIES: These technologies help to reduce the appearance of lax skin which is generally caused by the key enzyme that breaks down elastin—or elastase—and progerin—a truncated protein that causes dysfunctional cellular aging. (Please note that Elastin is “good” and Elastase is “bad” and some articles misspell—or, worse, mistake—these two components for one another.)

• Anti-Elastase Amino Complex of Arginyl-Tryptophyl-Diphenyl-Glycine.
• Anti-Progerin Complex of Trifluoroacetylated Tripeptide.

DENSITY TECHNOLOGIES: These technologies work to increase the look of skin density—as a secondary mechanism to support the look of viscoelasticity and reduce the appearance of persistent irregularities.

• Circulatory Push-Pull Biotechnology of Caffeine, Carnitine and Bitter Ginger
• Multi-Stimulatory (<10 kDa) Direct-Form Hyaluronic Acid:Not to be confused with any form of hyaluronic acid used generally in skincare, this technology is not a sodium salt of Hyaluronic Acid—or in simple terms, not to be confused with sodium hyaluronate—and is able to increase the look of dermal density, resulting in overall visible elasticity in a novel way not directly correlated to elastin. (It’s important to reiterate that this non-salt, 10kDa-molecular-weight form of direct Hyaluronic Acid is not a surface or below-surface hydration technology, unlike most common salt forms of HA.)

HOW TO USE: If used as part of a NIOD regimen, apply to the neck and lower face areas in the morning and evening in this order after cleaning: Copper Amino Isolate Serum, Multi-Molecular Hyaluronic Complex, then Neck Elasticity Catalyst.

If used as part of another skincare regimen, apply after serums but before any heavier creams. If NIOD Hydration Vaccine is used, it should be applied after NEC.

If irritation occurs, cease use and consult a physician. Use only as directed on unbroken skin. Patch testing prior to use is advised. Keep out of reach of children.
