ALTEROMONAS FERMENT EXTRACT

Alteromonas is a genus of marine bacteria. In 1988, a research team discovered a new strain of bacteria during an expedition to the Antarctic. While cultivating it in a Petri dish, the researchers* noticed an unusually high production of extracellular material. These are glycoproteins that help the bacteria to adhere to surfaces, bind a lot of water and survive the lowest temperatures.

In vitro tests on artificial skin showed that collagen production was twice as high and elastin production increased by a third. In vivo tests, in turn, showed a significant reduction in crow's feet around the eyes. Within thirty days, the depth of wrinkles was reduced by more than 50 percent.
