Only 20% of skin aging is determined by biological and genetic factors; the remaining 80% is directly linked to the exposome, which refers to the sum of stressors related to our environment and lifestyle.
Various external factors such as UV rays, pollution, stress, tobacco, alcohol, diet, and certain medications accelerate the production of free radicals within the cells. The skin's natural defense system then becomes overwhelmed, causing significant oxidative stress.
As a result, unneutralized free radicals deteriorate the skin tissues: the cells suffer and sustain damage at various levels (both internal and external), which impairs their functioning and inevitably accelerates aging.
“[With GSM10®] we therefore aim to control these processes (oxidation processes) by combating the production of free radicals, as oxidative stress is widely recognized today as the fundamental cause of the aging phenomena.”
