FIRMING STRETCH MARK CARE
200 ml / Formulated under dermatological control.
- Attenuates and prevents stretch marks
- Firms
- Plumps
- Tones
Stretch marks can appear as a result of rapid changes in weight or height, or significant muscle mass gain during periods such as puberty, post-pregnancy or the menopause. These marks can appear on various parts of the body, including the hips, arms, buttocks and chest.
To counter this phenomenon, Stretch Mark Toning Care offers an intensive triple-action treatment.
Thanks to its unique concentrate of active ingredients, it intensely moisturizes the skin, prevents the formation of new stretch marks and reduces the appearance of existing ones. It also plumps and tones the skin, helping to improve its elasticity.
The active ingredients include 2% Glycolic Acid, 1% Centella Asiatica and 1% encapsulated Retinol, all of which are proven effective in the treatment of stretch marks.

SCIENTIFIC ACTIVE
1% Encapsulated Retinol
We chose to use Encapsulated Retinol because of its many technical advantages:
- Protection against degradation: Retinol is an unstable molecule which loses effectiveness in contact with air and light. Encapsulation preserves its 100% integrity by preventing oxidation.
- Greater tolerance: Encapsulation enables a gradual release of Retinol, reducing skin irritation and the appearance of redness, unlike conventional Retinols.
- Higher concentration: thanks to slow, deep diffusion into the skin, the level of Retinol is almost 4 times that of conventional Retinols, reinforcing its efficacy.
In the dermis, this encapsulated Retinol stimulates Hyaluronic Acid synthesis and strengthens fibroblasts to promote collagen and elastin production, improving skin elasticity.
In addition, Retinol improves epidermal proliferation and differentiation, effectively reducing stretch marks.
2% Glycolic Acid
We have chosen to use a glycolic acid whose concentration is more than 4 times greater than that of conventional glycolic acid. Thanks to its small molecular size, it's the most powerful hydroxy acid for acting on the skin's superficial layers.
This feature also enables it to penetrate the skin more effectively, promoting enhanced cellular activity.
The action of Glycolic Acid is remarkable: it smoothes the epidermis by eliminating dead cells, stimulating collagen and procallogen synthesis, while preserving the hyaluronic acid naturally present in the skin. What's more, it acts effectively to regulate skin pigmentation, contributing to a more even, radiant complexion.
1% Centella Asiatica
Centella Asiatica has several major benefits for the skin:
1. Collagen stimulation: It promotes collagen production, strengthening skin structure, reducing the appearance of stretch marks and improving skin firmness.
2. Anti-inflammatory properties: Its active compounds reduce skin inflammation, alleviating the redness and irritation associated with stretch marks.
3. Stimulates blood and lymph circulation: It improves circulation, enabling nutrients to reach skin cells to promote repair of stretch mark-damaged tissue.
4. Skin hydration: It enhances the skin's ability to retain moisture, strengthening the skin barrier and preventing the formation of new stretch marks.
1% Dioic Acid
We use pure Dioic Acid powder to ensure maximum concentration, without preservatives. It is obtained by biofermentation of natural oleic acid, reinforcing its quality. Dioic Acid has a powerful anti-spot effect by inhibiting tyrosinase, responsible for melanin production. It regulates cell renewal, promoting the elimination of pigmented cells and diminishing existing spots. Its antioxidant properties neutralize free radicals, reducing skin damage and blemishes. In addition, it has an anti-inflammatory action to soothe inflammatory skin responses linked to pigmentation.
2% Macadamia oil
Macadamia oil offers numerous benefits for the skin:
1. Rich in essential fatty acids: It contains monounsaturated fatty acids, such as oleic acid, palmitoleic acid and linoleic acid, which strengthen the skin barrier, improve skin structure and prevent the appearance of stretch marks.
2. Antioxidants and anti-inflammatories: The tocopherols (vitamin E) and phytosterols present in macadamia oil have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. They neutralize free radicals, reduce skin inflammation, protect cells and prevent the worsening of existing stretch marks.
3. Rapid absorption and deep hydration: The oil has an excellent affinity with the skin, favoring rapid absorption and deep hydration. Its emollient power intensely nourishes the skin, maintaining its elasticity and reducing the appearance of stretch marks.
4. Skin-healing benefits: Macadamia oil has been studied for its skin-healing and tissue-regenerating properties. Incorporating it into an anti-stretch mark and firming skin care product can increase the chances of effectively preventing and treating these skin alterations.
1% Non reticulate high molecular weight hyaluronic acid
We have chosen a pure, powdered (=maximum concentration), non-cross-linked, high-molecular-weight Hyaluronic Acid.
Why non-cross-linked? Because its molecules are not linked to each other and are therefore free to distribute themselves evenly throughout the epidermis. Its molecular weight of 1000 Kda enables it to bind water (up to 1000 times its weight in water) for an immediate plumping effect, while reinforcing the cutaneous barrier and limiting Water Loss.
Results: a significant reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, smooth and plumped skin.
MODE OF APPLICATION
All our tips
MODE OF APPLICATION
On dry skin, apply 1-2 times a day to the areas concerned: stomach, thighs, hips, chest... then massage in circular motions until the cream is absorbed. Massage is crucial, as it has been proven to improve the appearance of stretch marks. Contains heating active ingredients, which may cause a temporary warming sensation.
OUR ANSWERS TO YOUR QUESTIONS
-
Firstly, it encourages cell renewal by gently exfoliating the top layer of skin. This helps to even out the skin's texture, reducing the difference between the areas affected by stretch marks and the surrounding skin.
In addition, this product stimulates the production of collagen, an essential protein for skin suppleness and firmness. By strengthening skin structure, it helps to reduce the appearance of existing stretch marks.
It also promotes healing and regeneration of skin tissue, helping to reduce stretch marks by encouraging the formation of healthy new skin cells.
Hydration also plays a crucial role in the prevention of stretch marks, and this product keeps the skin well hydrated, reducing the risk of new stretch marks appearing.
Finally, it has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, which can help soothe the inflammation associated with stretch marks, promoting healthier, more even skin.
-
Yes, but it is less effective on older stretch marks. It will fade the visibility of stretch marks and tone the skin. It is preferable to use this treatment as a preventive measure, or as soon as stretch marks appear, when they are red, for greater effectiveness.
-
One of the dermatological techniques used to treat stretch marks is heating (radiofrequency). DermEden has therefore incorporated a heating active ingredient: Sensehot (INCI name: Vanillyl Butyl Ether), which can cause a warming sensation in certain areas, after massage.
-
It is essential to apply this treatment daily, preferably after showering, with a toning massage.
-
The use of this treatment during pregnancy or breast-feeding is not recommended due to the presence of Retinol, a potentially unsafe active ingredient for pregnant or breast-feeding women, according to certain expert opinions. We suggest you consult a health care professional or dermatologist for suitable alternatives at this time of life.
