DERMOCOSMETIC actives

View marine actives

The feats of SCIENCE in the service of BEAUTY

Developed by Algotherm laboratories, synergies of some of the most potent marine actives and targeted dermocosmetic actives have shown their power to enhance treatment efficacy. Discover our glossary of dermocosmetic actives, meticulously selected for their technical excellence and benefits for the skin.

(HMW) Hyaluronic Acid

The high molecular weight (HMW) of Hyaluronic Acid forms an anti-dehydration shield on the surface of the epidermis. Water is retained, ensuring long-lasting, consistent hydration. The skin is plumped, and dehydration-related fine lines are visibly smoothed.

HA-Like Active

This marine hyaluronic acid, similar to skin’s own hyaluronic acid, has excellent affinity with the skin. With its dual Hydra-Glow action, it forms a protective barrier, maintains constant hydration, limits water loss, plumps the skin, and smooths dehydration-related fine lines.

Hydra-Skin Active

The Hydra-Skin active ingredient is a unique sugar complex that binds to the skin’s surface, forming a lightweight, invisible protective film. It provides immediate and long-lasting hydration, helping prevent overall water loss while strengthening the skin’s natural barrier.

Active Peeling-Booster

The Peeling-Booster, a papaya extract rich in papain, acts like a 'biological scalpel,' removing dead cells without harming surrounding tissues. Its dual exfoliating and protective action leaves the skin clean, smooth, soft, and visibly radiant and revitalized.

Adenosine

Adenosine acts like a micro-needle, penetrating the skin to reach fibroblast receptors—the ‘architect’ cells responsible for producing the skin’s support network. It stimulates collagen synthesis, enhancing skin firmness and density.

Shea Butter

Rich in fatty acids, tocopherols, and phytosterols, Shea Butter is a natural moisturizer and repairer. It forms a protective barrier that locks in moisture, reduces skin dryness, and has antioxidant properties to combat aging and diminish wrinkles and fine lines.

Bisabolol

Bisabolol, extracted from Candeia oil, a small Brazilian tree, provides an ultra-refreshing “cucumber slice” effect. It regulates blood flow and decongests the vessels around the eyes, reducing puffiness and dark circles for a bright, awakened look.

Caffeine

Caffeine is known to stimulate microcirculation and promote the elimination of stored lipids. By activating fat breakdown and improving circulation, it helps visibly firm and smooth the skin, for a more toned and sculpted silhouette.

CITYSTEMℱ

Derived from Marrubium cell culture, this reparative active detoxifies the skin from the effects of pollution and light, regenerates cells, and preserves youthful vitality. It restores the skin barrier, stimulates metabolism, and activates the skin’s natural repair and renewal mechanisms.

[Caffeine + Silanol]

This innovative complex targets the silhouette and skin firmness. Caffeine activates lipolysis to effectively eliminate stubborn fat, while silanol enhances its delivery and releases silicon—the true architect of the dermis—to intensely tone, firm, and restructure the skin.

Revital-Eye Complex

The Revital-Eye Complex combines phyto-actives and biotechnological ingredients with soothing and anti-fatigue effects. Its anti-inflammatory action reduces the appearance of blue dark circles by strengthening blood vessels, stimulating microcirculation, and limiting their permeability.

Slow [AHA] + [ZINC PCA]

This molecular complex offers a dual action. Slow [AHA] controls the release of lactic acid to stimulate cellular regeneration without irritation. [ZINC PCA] purifies the skin by reducing sebum and bacteria responsible for blemishes. Skin texture is refined and radiance restored.

Cryoprotein

Cryoprotein, derived from a marine microorganism from Antarctica, has a highly restructuring action. It stimulates cell proliferation to regenerate the epidermis and reduces hollow dark circles by boosting collagen and elastin synthesis. The eyes appear visibly revitalized.

D-Panthenol

D-Panthenol, or Pro-Vitamin B5, a natural precursor for the synthesis of skin lipids and proteins, has restructuring properties. It helps repair and strengthen the skin barrier against external aggressions, providing comfort, suppleness, and lasting protection.

Guaiazulene

Derived from Gurjun oil, a tree from South Asia, Guaiazulene is a naturally blue molecule with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. It promotes cell renewal, soothes irritation, and visibly enhances the skin’s radiance and texture.

Sweet Almond Oil

Rich in essential fatty acids and vitamins, Sweet Almond Oil intensely nourishes the skin while soothing discomfort and irritation. Ideal for dry, sensitive, or reactive skin, it leaves the skin supple, soft, comfortable, and visibly calm every day.

Argan Oil

Argan Oil, rich in essential fatty acids and vitamin E, deeply nourishes and repairs the skin. It strengthens the hydrolipidic film, prevents dehydration, and restores comfort, suppleness, and softness to dry or fragile skin, leaving it velvety to the touch and visibly smoother.

Infra-Skin

L'Infra-Skin, phyto-actif issu du Polygonum, protĂšge la peau du photo-vieillissement provoquĂ© par les rayons infrarouges. VĂ©ritable bouclier thermique cellulaire, il bloque la chaleur, prĂ©serve la structure profonde de l’épiderme et limite la dĂ©gradation cutanĂ©e pour une peau plus rĂ©sistante.

Inulin

Inulin is a natural prebiotic that nourishes the skin microbiota, essential for skin balance. It stimulates beneficial bacteria, strengthens natural defenses, and helps the skin better resist aggressions. The result: soothed, balanced, radiant, and stronger skin every day.

OsiliftÂź

OsiliftÂź, a sugar derived from oats, forms multiple bonds with the skin surface, acting like a second skin. Creating a lifting and flexible film, it stabilizes skin cells and generates visible tension, delivering an immediate tightening effect and skin that appears smoother and visibly lifted.

PollustopÂź

This protective ingredient is a high‑molecular‑weight polysaccharide produced by biotechnology, forming a protective film on the skin’s surface. A true anti‑pollution shield, it prevents fine particles from adhering and protects the skin from urban pollution–related disorders.

3D Polypeptides

This ingredient, derived from a chain of pea amino acids, boosts skin firmness and elasticity through three actions: protecting elastin from enzymes, stimulating its synthesis, and activating collagens I, III, and V. The skin is firmer, toned, and its structure visibly improved.

Propanediol

A fermented sugar extract, a natural alternative to petrochemical glycols, it softens, smooths, and protects the skin while providing intense hydration. Forming a protective film on its surface, it prevents water loss and captures ambient moisture to maintain hydration beneath the epidermis.

Pro-Silanol

Thanks to its slow, controlled penetration, Pro‑silanol delivers stabilized silicon, deeply restructuring the dermis. It stimulates the synthesis of dermal sugars, reassembles support fibers, retains hydration, and improves skin elasticity, firmness, and structure.

Retinol-Like

Retinol‑Like, a natural extract from alfalfa, mimics retinol’s action with enhanced plumping effects. It stimulates collagen, firms the skin, and limits degrading enzymes. Its unique structure ensures high tolerance, even for sensitive skin, and long‑lasting optimal stability.

Stabilized Vitamin C

Stabilized Vitamin C is a powerful dermocosmetic revitalizing ingredient that targets fatigue and signs of aging through its antioxidant action. It neutralizes free radicals, protects the skin from the exposome, and enhances radiance and freshness for a lasting healthy‑glow effect.
