Neurocosmetics is rapidly gaining popularity, as it combines advances in dermatology and neurobiology. Its main goal is to reduce the skin's reactivity to stress and strengthen its natural defense mechanisms. The result is not just skincare, but a kind of "reprogramming" of signals that helps the skin look healthier and younger. Today, such products are widely available, confirming the potential of this field.
What is neurocosmetics in simple terms?
Neurocosmetics are based on substances that affect signaling molecules and neurotransmitters in the skin. When the skin is exposed to stress or aggressive factors (such as UV radiation), these components help calm nerve endings and reduce redness. This "reprogramming" restores barrier functions and maintains elasticity—especially important for aging skin. In our Rose de Rose line with Damask rose extract, this effect is complemented by softening properties and a pronounced rejuvenating effect, making the care more comprehensive and comfortable.
Composition of neurocosmetics: key ingredients
Many formulas are based on peptides and amino acids, which can send the skin the "right" signals to maintain its health. They are complemented by plant extracts with proven calming properties, such as rose or lavender, as well as vitamins and antioxidants that protect cells from oxidative stress—a condition in which aggressive free radicals accumulate in the body, which can damage skin structures and accelerate aging. Innovative ingredients include biomimetic peptides and neuroactive complexes, such as those derived from seaweed. These active components of neurocosmetics are harmoniously combined, providing a deep regulating and caring effect. What do neurocosmetics do: how do they work? Our skin is connected to the nervous system, and receptors in the epidermis "recognize" stress: unfavorable environmental conditions, UV rays, and emotional overload. Neurocosmetics, which work by regulating neurotransmitters, gently reduce hypersensitivity, eliminate redness, and restore barrier function. This helps the skin retain moisture and become more elastic.
The interaction of certain active ingredients with the skin can stimulate the synthesis of endorphin-like substances—conventionally known as "happy" molecules. They are associated with a feeling of comfort and help reduce skin irritation, making it calmer and more resilient to external factors.
How do I know if a product is a neurocosmetic?
To identify neurocosmetic products, look for the words "neuro," "stress control," or "sensorial" on the packaging. The composition usually includes peptide complexes and extracts that can influence the functioning of nerve endings.
We conducted a series of clinical tests to confirm the neurosensory effect of Rose de Rose neurocosmetic products. A study involving 40 volunteers showed a reduction in reactivity and a 25% strengthening of the skin barrier after just four weeks of use.
The Rose de Rose Librederm line uses rose extract, which increases elasticity and restores the skin's barrier, helping it cope with stress.
Contraindications for the use of neurocosmetics
In case of individual intolerance, especially to plant extracts or essential oils, an allergy to cosmetics is possible, so it is important to read the ingredients. If your skin is inflamed or you have been diagnosed with psoriasis, eczema, or dermatitis, you should consult a doctor before introducing such products into your skincare routine. In the post-operative period, neurocosmetics should also be used only on the recommendation of a specialist. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should check the safety of active ingredients and consult a doctor if in doubt.
Recommendations for the use of neurocosmetics
If you have sensitive skin, test on a small area of skin (for example, on the inside of your wrist) and wait 24 hours before using neurocosmetics. For complete care of aging skin, neurocosmetics are combined with cleansing and anti-aging products, and the Rose de Rose Librederm line additionally soothes and strengthens the barrier. Use the products in courses of four to six weeks to achieve lasting results. Don't forget about SPF and nourishing the skin from within. This approach demonstrates how to properly use neurocosmetics and optimize its application.
FAQ
Can neurocosmetics be used at a young age?
Yes, if the skin condition requires reducing sensitivity or combating stress. The main goal of such products is to strengthen the barrier and help cells respond correctly to external factors, and not just fight wrinkles, so they can be effective even in youth.
Are neurocosmetics suitable for oily, dry or combination skin?
Usually yes, because the key principle of these products is the regulation of nerve endings and increasing the stability of the skin barrier. It is only important to choose the right formula, taking into account individual characteristics, such as a tendency to oily shine or increased dryness.
How long will it take to see a visible effect?
Results are noticeable after just a few weeks of regular use. Most often, it is recommended to use products in courses to strengthen the skin's barrier functions and increase its tolerance to stress, achieving lasting improvements in appearance.
