Yves Rocher Anti-Age Global Day Cream Highly Recommended by the Gorgeous People of Whom You Know

As perfectionists, we are always on a mission to look our best. Most importantly, that perfection needs to start with our skin because it's your face that the world sees first. We all know there is no fountain of youth but hey, you can't blame a girl for trying! We have found the next best thing, Yves Rocher Anti-Age Global Day Cream. This complete anti-aging care is made with plant source cells that fight major signs of skin aging. The plant source cells work to help renew your skin. We love the thick feeling of the cream as it easily rubs in all over our face. The great part is it leaves skin feeling soft not oily or greasy. Perfect to use everyday- we can't get enough of Yves Rocher Anti-Age Global Day Cream.

Yves Rocher has become a household name in the skin care industry for many of us now. As they are by "appointment" only, and not available in stores, their products are on the short list for millions of women. By appointment means that you can only access their wonderful natural and fragrant products online, via their website. The products themselves are developed with all the care of the most expensive product line on the market. But because they have eliminated the middleman, the prices are lower. Their service is excellent, and when a new product comes out, some of us in the know can take advantage right away. For those of you who want to be in the know as well: anti-aging "cellular research innovation" will calm your cares and worries about skin care. The day cream soaks into your skin in a thrice, forming a stable balance for your foundation. For those of us who work at home, the cream is a welcome refresher mid-day, sans make-up, of course. This is the best way to take care of yourself.

I've been a long time user of Yves Rocher. So naturally I was excited to find out about their new anti-aging skincare line, Anti Age Global Complete. This line of products contains Plant Source Cells which help to promote denser and firmer skin. It's also corrects any major signs of aging and leaves your skin with a more youthful appearance.I'd like to start off with the day cream which is unlike any other that I've used in the past. It has a somewhat whipped consistency to it and feels very rich. However once you apply it, it doesn't feel heavy at all. It goes on very smoothly and effortlessly. Once it's on you can just feel your skin become firmer and smoother. It's also great under makeup - Love it!

I have always loved the day creams by Yves Rocher. I was running low on mine and when I saw the Anti-Age Global Complete Day Cream, I knew it would be good. It was so creamy and didn't leave a greasy and oily residue, which is a high point for me. I loved how it kept my skin feeling moisturized all day. I didn't find I had to keep moisturizing throughout the day. Plus, with the anti-aging ingredients, I found the more I loved how my skin looked and felt. I loved how my makeup went on more smoothly after using this cream. It didn't flake after a few hours so I found I had to touch up my makeup less. This has to be my new favorite cream and would recommend it to any and everyone.

Yves Rocher Anti-Age Global Complete Anti-aging Care Day Cream is a miracle in a bottle. I love this product more than words can describe. A little goes a long way. The best part it goes on light. It's not greasy at all! I love that because it doesn't coat your face with a layer of oil. You can tell this is a high-end product. This is one of the best face creams on the market by far. I feel it working its magic overnight.

A World 1st in Botanical Beauty
“The Anti-Age Global line developed by our Botanical Beauty Laboratories contains a new generation of Plant Source Cells.
These cells are called 4th Generation because they come from a unique elicitation, then are incorporated in their entirety in the formulas. In this way, their cellular structure is preserved and their maximum effectiveness is ensured.
Produced by a high-tech patented and optimized process, they are evidence of the constant quality and exceptional power of Botanical Beauty.
More than 100,000 Plant Source Cells are concentrated in each Anti-Age Global skin care product.
Thanks to innovative techniques and cutting-edge cosmetogenomics, Yves Rocher Researchers demonstrated the global poly-active power of Plant Source Cells on all signs of aging, to smooth wrinkles, moisturize, restore radiance, strengthen and redensify the skin.
A clinical study showed that Anti-Age Global skin care results in denser and firmer skin, as well as a better cohesion of its surface. The major signs of aging are corrected.
- Xavier Ormancey Yves Rocher R & D Director

Glossary
Source cells: Meristematic cells in a non-specialized state: stem, leaves, roots...






Plant
source Cells
Stem cells are present within every evolved living being, both in the animal kingdom and the plant world. Within plants, these cells are specifically present in a tissue called “Meristem”.
The etymology of the term “Meristem”: “division” in the sense of “cell multiplication”.
Meristems: the origin of Plant Source Cells
The meristems are the areas where the cells retain a fabulous ability – to divide throughout the entire life of the plant to replicate any part of it, keeping all the characteristics of young cells!
These tissues are present in all plants, located principally at the ends of the plant, its roots, buds and the periphery of its stem. They allow the development of the plant, as well as its growth in thickness.
From meristems, we can regrow a plant in its entirety. And, unlike animal plant cells, meristemetic cells are totipotent. They are called totipotent because of their extraordinary power to give rise to all types of different cells, such as those of leaves, roots or stems. They are also capable of regenerating an organ or even an entire plant. Their regenerating abilities are particularly spectacular. They hold the tremendous power of infinite plant self-regeneration.
Meristems in the production of Plant Source Cells
Meristematic cells are present in small quantities in the plant. It is possible to extract them by a conventional method and guarantee a good yield. However, in vitro culture techniques allow them to be isolated and grown in their source state, thanks to an innovative, secure and patented process. This process guarantees a perfect quantity of Plant Source Cells.


The scientific collections of The Yves Rocher Botanical Garden
In La Gacilly, the Botanical Garden is a place for observation and conservation of more than 1,100 plant species. For over 50 years, it has been a source of infinite inspiration for our Botanical Beauty researchers. With their unique knowledge, they have worked on numerous original plants.
Their sole goal: to produce Plant Source Cells of remarkable quality and effectiveness.
Their selection process led them to Echinacea augustfolia, a plant species present in the research collection of this amazing outdoor Laboratory, the Yves Rocher Botanical Garden.

Totipotent: Totipotency is the ability of a cell to differentiate itself into any specialized cell.

Yves Rocher 4G Plant Source Cells
4thGeneration Plant Source Cells are the result of a high-tech patented process.
Until now, it was possible to proceed in different ways with cells produced by these cultures in a bioreactor:
- Extract the cell biomass with a solvent, these are the 1st Generation Cells (1G).
- Use the dehydrated cells, these are the 2nd Generation Cells (2G).
- Incorporate the whole Cells into the cosmetic formula, these are 3rd Generation Cells (3G). Today, Yves Rocher researchers have chosen to go beyond the 3rd Generation. For the first time ever, they use a cellular stimulation mechanism: elicitation.
This mechanism lets them guide, stimulate and potentiate the production of metabolites like Echinacoside to make the cells more active and therefore, more effective. This technology also allows for the incorporation of intact, whole cells with a strengthened presence of their metabolites, so useful for the proper functioning of skin.
The Yves Rocher Research Center for Botanical Beauty, in collaboration with a biotech laboratory partner, has developed more concentrated cells. These Plant Source Cells are called 4th Generation. They come from Echinacea and are unique to Yves Rocher.
These Yves Rocher 4th Generation Plant Source Cells are then added in their entirety to each Anti-Age Global skin care formula. All their cellular components are present, their DNA, proteins, peptides structure and, especially, their precious active metabolites. An evaluation under an optical microscope of the cell concentration of the active ingredient guarantees a concentration of more than 100,000 cells in each 50 ml jar in the Anti-Age Global line.

Sustainable Production of 4G Plant source cells
The process of growing Plant Source Cells is a soil-free system using laboratory bioreactors. So Yves Rocher 4G Plant Source Cells do not deplete renewable plant resources, nor generate waste, except for the liquid of the culture medium, which can be recycled.

Gene Pool Protection
The stress to which skin is exposed to by nature of it being outside the body is quickly transmitted to its cells. Consequences can be severe and result in significant mortality due to the destruction of the nucleus that contains the genetic form of DNA. This is called apoptosis. 4G Plant Source Cells was the subject of a study on the apoptotic phenomena. These results on better management of apoptosis are patent pending in France.
Benefits: Protection against exterior aggressions
Observation of fibroblast cultures by confocal microscopy
(with or without UV stress and with or without 4G Plant Source Cells (PSC) at 0.5%).
Control Environment Control Environment + UV PSC* 0.5% PSC* 0.5% + UV
Natural skin cell renewal
Cell renewal is crucial for optimal functioning of all tissue. On the surface it is responsible for the brightness and color of the skin. Further down, the mitotic activity offers real anti-aging action at the level of dermal fibroblasts.
4G Plant Source Cells were the subject of a quantitative study on the renewal of keratinocytes, but also of a qualitative study on the expression of cyclins, genuine “quality control” for the proper running of the cellular cycle. These results on optimum cellular cycles are patent pending in France.
Benefits: Radiance, smoothness, evenness of skin tone
Cyclin D1 on fibroblast cultures with or without treatment of PSC* at 0.5%
Strengthening of collagen And Hyaluronic structures
The elements of the dermal extracellular matrix (collagen, hyaluronic acid, elastin... ) are key to the aesthetic appearance of the skin. They give the dermis its biomechanical properties that enable it to change shape, compress and stretch. Its loss because of age and photoaging is directly related to the loss of firmness and density.
4G Plant Source Cells were the subject of a study on fibroblast synthesis, and especially that of collagen and hyaluronic acid.
Benefits: Firmness, density and hydration
