The lines, wrinkles and blemishes we see are because the natural cell structure and replacement cycle is being disrupted by chemical reactions due to free radicals all working against the natural processes. By assisting the cells to maintain their normal liquid levels we are going some way towards correcting some of the self inflicted damage caused by our modern busy and hectic lifestyles.
