Myth
Hyaluronic acid is... an acid.

Fact
From the chemical perspective, hyaluronic acid is a polysaccharide belonging to the group of glycosaminoglycans (GAG). It occurs naturally in the human body, and due to its water binding properties, it is responsible for maintaining the proper degree of hydration. It surrounds and stabilizes the support fibers of the skin, and thereby reduces the signs of aging. The concentration of hyaluronic acid decreases with time. It may be replenished with cosmetics that contain this precious compound.

Myth
It is not necessary to apply UV-filters on cloudy days.

Fact
It’s advisable to use UV-filters in everyday care, also when there is not much sun. UV radiation can penetrate through the clouds. The UVA rays which cause photo-aging can penetrate the layer of clouds to a larger extent than UVB rays. (Source: www.kosmopedia.org)

Myth
Slimming cosmetics are just a publicity stunt.

Fact
The effectiveness of each product created by Dr Irena Eris Skin Care Institutes is confirmed through instrumental tests and subjective research on volunteers conducted under the supervision of experts from the Dr Irena Eris Centre for Science and Research. However, the effectiveness of these products is strongly influenced by the regularity of their use. It is not enough to apply them on the skin. Emulsion should be thoroughly massaged into the skin using circular movements. Of great importance is the composition and formula of the product, as only proper substances may speed up the process of burning fat accumulated in the tissues.

Myth
Following a diet is important, but it won’t bring any spectacular re juvenation effects.

Fact
Did you know that people eating tomatoes look younger? Tomatoes are rich in antioxidants, mainly lycopene. It enhances the skin’s resistance to UV rays with force equal to sunscreen with factor 1-3. Also, tomatoes increase the level of procollagen which prevents the creation of wrinkles. Tomatoes which have been heat treated, such as in the form of a concentrate, contain the most lycopene.
