How it works ?

Splint&Slim Great bougainvillea acts at two levels. At the level of the extra-cellular matrix of dermis, by increasing the synthesis of fibers, proteoglycans, collagens and elastin, fibers that create supporting tissues and their network that supports all skin. At the level of the hypodermis, it boosts the lipolysis by improving the burst of triglycerides stocked by adipocytes and by stopping the fixation of two molecules on their receptors, because that fixation limits lipolysis. Yet the over-stocking of lipides can induce alterations of adipocytes, like inflammation.

Thanks to those actions, skin gets back a balanced composition and can better fulfill its essential functions, like protecting and regulating body temperature.
