Garden of Wisdom's Collagen Renewal Serum is a balanced, complex blend of several active extracts. Each active is used at the recommended strength without extra additives or fillers. These extracts help prevent and reduce wrinkles by improving and maintaining homeostasis in the dermal extra-cellular matrix. Homeostasis is a balance in the skin's internal environment, helping to maintain a stable condition. This progression, while achieving homeostasis, helps to increase the production of dermal collagen and other ECM components in fibroblasts. A fibroblast is a cell from which connective tissue develops. It also works to inhibit the synthesis of Metalloproteinases [MMP - known for their ability to degrade the extracellular matrix] and also to discourage the synthesis of pro-inflammatory agents.
