LYMA’s patented formula contains powerful anti-ageing ingredients that are clinically proven to work on fine lines and wrinkles.

Cynatine® HNS is the world’s first solubilised, active keratin and is at the cutting edge of nutricosmetics. Keratin is a member of a family of structural proteins known as scleroproteins and is the key structural material that makes up skin, hair and nails. If you want to repair, protect and plump your skin then supplementing with active keratin is a non-negotiable. LYMA uses the latest delivery systems to ensure a highly bioavailable, stable and clinically proven form of these natural keratin peptides is able to reach your skin, hair and nails. Cynatine® HNS has been optimised in LYMA and is more bioavailable than other forms of this beauty-boosting protein.

Cynatine® HNS has been shown to fight the effects of inflammation and oxidative stress that lead to ageing of the skin, as well as reducing the appearance of dark circles and skin dullness to keep you looking vitalised.

LYMA’s formula also contains a powerful technology-enhanced natural carotenoid, Lycored Lycopene™. Lycopene has powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties that can benefit your overall health in addition to enhancing the appearance of your skin.

Supplementing with Lycored Lycopene™ at a daily dose of 30mg, as formulated in LYMA, has been clinically proven to reduce excess oil and balance the skin’s natural bacteria, reducing the appearance of pores and improving your overall complexion.

Lycored Lycopene™ also works to combat a process known as ‘collagenases’; the enzymatic breakdown of the skin’s natural collagen that happens naturally with age. Lycopene also has the power to slow the development of fine lines and wrinkles, leaving your skin feeling plump, youthful and radiant.

As if that weren’t enough, a daily dose of Lycored Lycopene™, equivalent to that which can be found in LYMA, could protect against UV damage and reduce the likelihood of sunburn by up to 50%.

The HydroCurc® present in the LYMA formula is a powerful and highly bioavailable anti-inflammatory and antioxidant that plays a fundamental part in leaving your skin feeling nourished and protected from the inside out.

After supplementing with LYMA for 90 days, 80% of people reported a significant improvement in their skin’s texture, tone and appearance. 88% of people also reported less nail breakage, and 47% said their hair felt stronger.

If you’re looking to improve the appearance of your skin, boost your skin’s hydration and elasticity and have your visage looking younger and plumper than you even thought was possible you should start from the inside and work your way out. Start by supplementing with LYMA to change the expression of your DNA, and add in our recommended creams and lotions for that extra beauty boost.
