Zone Skincare is a break through cosmeceutical, which has been designed to meet the requirements of sun damage and prematurely ageing skin caused by oxidative stress, as well as free radicals
Zone Skincare contains CO ENZYME Q10, an important and powerful anti-oxidant which is combined with the other network anti-oxidants, namely Vitamin A; B; C and E. Studies have shown that Co Enzyme Q10 and anti-oxidants help to repair and rejuvenate the skin, however, they will only show significant differences when used at certain concentrations. Zone Skincare – the next generation skin care – has used medical science to incorporate all these findings into a treatment that gives you the latest in skin care and repair for youthful skin.
Zone is not designed to be a comfort cream, but an active treatment against ageing. Zone targets the Mitochondria in the dermal layer of the skin which is involved in the production of ATP cell energy. Co-enzyme Q10, if applied at the correct concentrations which will penetrate into the Mitochondria, is seen as the “Spark Plug”, boosting the energy and enabling better quality skin cells to reach the surface at a faster rate, significantly slowing down the overall ageing look of the skin. If you insist on the latest technology options in skin care, with visible improvement. Zone will meet your needs.
Zone is recommended for both men and women from the age of 20 years old. The Zone Products were formulated and tested by a panel of Dermatologists, hence the strong medical support by both GP’s and Dermatologists alike. Zone is specifically designed to create a South African Range for South African conditions, and marketed at South African prices.
The body contains natural levels of Co Enzyme Q10 which starts declining at age 20 and could be reduced by as much as 25% at age 40. The Zone Skin Care Range contains a network of anti-oxidants, including Co Enzyme Q10. at proven documented levels, which will reduce the risk of irreversible cellular damage with regular use.
Basic Consumer Test: Medical science has proven that, unless (any) substances are applied or taken at the correct concentrations, it cannot produce the desired effects. Co Enzyme Q10 (Co Q10) is a bright yellow substance. Therefore, all creams and lotions containing approved levels of Co-QIO, will be a shade of yellow, depending on the concentration.
Recent research has shown us that the major contributing factor to premature ageing is free radical damage. Free radicals or reactive oxygen species (ROS) are formed in skin cells when we expose ourselves to sun, pollution, smoking etc. These free radicals are composed of oxygen with an unpaired electron – they are constantly searching to gain another electron in order to become stable. They steal from balanced molecules and start a chain reaction that damages cell membranes, collagen and DNA.
The body has a protection from this damage in the form of anti oxidants that are capable of losing an electron in order to defend healthy cells from this free radical onslaught. Natural occurring anti oxidants includes Vitamins A, C, E and Co Enzyme Q10. The chain reaction started by free radicals easily destroys and denatures these precious vitamins. Our best weapon against this is to replace lost vitamins by increasing our raw fruit and vegetable intake and taking a multivitamin supplement. When it comes to our skin it is believed that by applying anti oxidants at the correct concentrations we bolster skin cells leaving them better protected. Topically applied at optimum levels the following anti oxidants have been proven effective: Vitamins A, C, E and Co Enzyme Q10.
Recent in vivo testing has shown that Co Enzyme Q 10 has a powerful protective action on the mitochondrial membrane.
1. Co Enzyme Q10 – Q denotes the Quinone family, 10 is the number of
isoprenoid units on its side chain.
2. Co Enzyme Q10 is a vitamin like substance and a cofactor of at least 3 mitochondrial enzymes, essential for the production of Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) –‘high energy phosphate’.
3. Co Enzyme Q10 is an integral part of the membranes of mitochondria where it is involved in this production of ATP: the basic energy-producing molecule of the cell. Here it helps mitochondrial enzymes convert dietary nutrients to energy – in other words without it – the food we eat cannot be converted to energy for cell renewal.
4. Co Enzyme Q10 is a vital nutrient necessary for the life and function of each and every cell in our body – without it we cannot survive.
5. Co Enzyme Q10 quenches free radicals generated in this energy making process.
6. Co Enzyme Q10 keeps the mitochondrial membrane intact.
Co Enzyme Q10 is found throughout the body in all cell membranes and is therefore known as Ubiquinone. A deficiency results from poor dietary intake or excessive utilization by the body. Biosynthesis of Q10 in the body requires at least 7 vitamins and as we age the ability to produce Q10 declines.
Network anti oxidants work together to regenerate and recycle one another – they are Gluthathione, L-Carnitine, CO Enzyme Q10, Beta Carotene, Alpha Lipoic Acid, Vitamins C and E. If an anti oxidant like Vitamin E is attacked by a free radical it is unable to function unless it is recycled – Co Enzyme Q 10 can recycle it.
As Q10 declines with age we need to replace it daily. Topically applied Q10 is proven to reach the dermis; here it suppresses the enzyme collagenase (which is stimulated by UV exposure) and results in less collagen damage and the reduction of wrinkle depth.
Dermatologists and Skin Care Therapists have for some time been searching for an effective treatment incorporating Co Enzyme Q10. Dermasure recognized this need for an intensive, active and effective anti oxidant treatment range. They have managed to produce a day and night cream with the right percentage of the active ingredients Co Enzyme Q10 and network anti oxidants. The high concentration levels of these anti oxidant ingredients ensure maximum penetration of actives yet skin irritation is minimised due to the stable non- irritating base.
Zone has proved to be very effective when used in conjunction with Microdermabrasion, Ultra Sound and IPL Laser Therapy. Zone is particularly effective in preparing the skin prior to any of the above treatments and cosmetic surgery. The end result improvement is more significant. Zone is currently busy with a trial on post acne scarring, pigmentation and stretch marks combining Zone Night cream with microdermabrasion and ultrasound therapy.
Zone contains network anti oxidants in the correct effective concentrations as studies have shown that Co Enzyme Q10 and anti oxidants help to repair and rejuvenate the skin however they will only show significant differences when used at certain concentrations. Zone Skincare – the next generation skin care – has used medical science to incorporate all these findings into a treatment that gives you the latest in skin care and repair for youthful skin.
We are confident that our product is not just another because it has the scientific backing to substantiate our claims. It makes skin sense for you to use proven active skin care cosmetics.
