Qusome is a technology initially developed for drug delivery system in the medical industry. The technology micro-encapsulates active ingredients so they can penetrate deep into the skin and be released slowly without causing irritation to the skin.
The 5 ingredients in QuSome® Age Recovery Complex are:
- Polyamine (soybean sprout extract): It is an anti-aging peptide that promotes the formation of collagen and hyaluronic acid. It has the effect of restoring the skin’s elasticity which improves wrinkles and sagging. It also has antioxidant effect and is effective in prevention of skin aging.
- Acetyl Tetrapeptide-2: It acts on the “basement membrane” between epidermis and dermis and supports the synthesis of collagen and elastin. It create new cells and normalize turnover, increases skin barrier function and improves firmness.
- Lamirin (oligopeptide-6): It is a kind of amino acid and is a component contained in seaweed such as kelp.
Lamirin also acts on the “basement membrane” between the epidermis and the dermis to repair the basement membrane. - Aqua Extreme: Derived from rhubarb, Aqua Extreme helps to generate collagen and enhances barrier function. It also helps to prevent aging.
- Hibiscus flower fermentation liquid: It protects skin from ultraviolet ray damage. In addition, there is an antioxidant effect on epidermal cells.
Although the texture of this Japanese face moisturizer is not very sticky, it really moisturizes the skin from the inside. Some moisturizers may be oily but the inner skin still looks dry and tight. Therefore, b.glen QuSome Moisture Rich Cream is great for those with dry or dehydrated skin whose skin would benefit a lot from deep-down hydration. The skin will look very plump and hydrated after usage.
