Firmer, stronger looking skin that keeps improving with time.
Your skin feels thinner and looser than it used to. The jawline has softened and the neck creases more easily.
Strength Gel helps skin on the face, neck and body look firmer, smoother and more resilient, and the result builds the longer you use it. Its key ingredient is black ginger root extract, in a patented formula. It settles into a light, breathable film, so skin feels calm and protected.
Who It Is For
Face, neck, chest or body skin that is starting to look lax or crepey.
Not Acne Safe
What You Will See, and When
Skin often feels calmer within days. Adipeau reports visible strengthening after four to six weeks of twice daily use, with improvement continuing for months. The neck usually takes one to three months.
How to Use
Morning and night as your very last step, after moisturizer and, in the morning, after sunscreen. Smooth a thin layer over your whole face, and your neck or body if you are working on those areas, without rubbing it in. If you can still see it after five minutes, use less next time. Once you are happy with your result, once a day keeps it going.
The Science
Black ginger (Kaempferia parviflora) root extract is rich in compounds called polymethoxyflavones. It helps skin look firmer and more resilient the longer you use it. In a six month pilot study of 35 people using a topical black ginger emulsion, three dimensional imaging showed hollow areas looking fuller and overly full areas looking reduced at three and six months.
Questions
Where does it go in my routine?Last. After serums and moisturizer at night, and after sunscreen in the morning.
Can I use it with a retinoid?Yes. Apply your retinoid as usual and put Strength Gel on at the end.
Should I use it only on my deepest lines?No. Cover your whole face, and your neck if you are working on it. Skin works as one connected surface, so broad use gives the best result.
How long does a tube last?About four to six weeks when used twice a day on the face.
Why a Routine Made for You Works Better
General advice is written for everyone, so it has to assume nothing about you. It can tell you what is safe. It cannot tell you what will work for your skin.
Skin changes when it is challenged just enough, then given time to recover and adapt. That amount is different for every person, and it moves as your skin gets stronger. Ask too much and your skin spends its energy recovering instead of improving. Ask too little and nothing changes. Finding that point for you, and moving it at the right time, is where results come from.
Where that point sits depends on:
-
Your skin: its history, how it reacts, and what it is doing today
-
Your health: hormones, medications, pregnancy and any condition that changes how skin behaves
-
Your lifestyle: sleep, stress, diet, sun, exercise and climate
-
Your routine: what you use now, and what has and has not worked before
-
Your goals: what you most want to change
-
Your expectations and timeline: how soon you want to see change, and what is realistic for your skin
-
Your consistency: how much time and how many steps you will keep up with, because the best routine is the one you actually do
-
Your treatments: what you have had and what you have planned
A skin therapist weighs all of this, builds a routine you can keep, and adjusts it as your skin responds. That is why we guarantee our products when they are part of a routine designed by one of our skin therapists. If you have been reading general advice, bring your questions. We will help you sort out what applies to you and what does not.
