Key Ingredients
Liposomal soy genistein:
Soy isoflavones are a liposomal preparation containing high levels of genistein, the biologically active form of the most abundant soy isoflavone. Genistein is a powerful collagen booster, known for its ability to strongly stimulate collagen production while preventing its degradation by matrix metalloproteinases. This is important during perimenopause and menopause, as this is the period when collagen levels decrease most significantly. Liposomal soy isoflavones penetrate more deeply through the stratum corneum, ensuring effective delivery of its benefits. Studies have shown that it increases skin thickness, provides a lifting effect, and significantly reduces the appearance of wrinkles, making the skin appear 5 years younger. It reduces lines and wrinkles, re-densifies and firms the skin and offers antioxidant protection to support the skin during perimenopause and menopause.
Pink microalga extract (dunaliella salina):
Pink microalga extract, sustainably harvested through advanced biotechnological methods, has been clinically proven to protect the skin from glycation ageing, a skin concern that accelerates with perimenopause and menopause. It efficiently inhibits the formation of AGEs (advanced glycation end products), reduces the effects of glycation, and promotes AGE detoxification to fight Glyc-Aging™. Additionally, it reduces the appearance of solar-induced and other forms of environmental skin damage, improves firmness, minimises the visibility of wrinkles and reduces uneven skin tone.
Carnosine dipeptide:
Carnosine is a powerful dipeptide antioxidant and anti-glycation agent. This natural peptide protects the skin from environmental stressors and reduces the formation of advanced glycation end-products (AGEs), which contribute to skin ageing. It also supports cellular health and longevity, making it a supportive ingredient for maintaining overall skin health during perimenopause and menopause.
A note from Terri
“PressPause is more than a skincare product – it’s a response to the real, often overlooked skin challenges that women face beginning in their 40's during perimenopause and menopause. I designed this formula to specifically address the changes women experience at this time – loss of firmness and elasticity, increased dryness, increased visible wrinkling and sensitivity. All these come hand in hand with hormonal changes.
This formula harnesses the power of Soy Isoflavones, pink microalgal extract and carnosine dipeptide to combat glycation ageing, free radical damage, dryness and inflammation. PressPause milk serum will promote skin resilience, hydration and youthful radiance. It’s my way of offering targeted skin care for this important phase of life, so we can celebrate it and not dread it."
