The MDI Complex™ is a natural matrix metalloprotease inhibitor. It contains glycosaminoglycans and helps control the appearance of signs of aging and maintain youthful-looking skin. Furthermore, inhibiting metalloprotease can help to preserve the integrity of tiny blood vessels in the skin, thereby reducing the risk of red patches or dark circles around the eyes.
The skin is composed of a tridimensional structure called the extracellular matrix, composed of molecules such as collagen, elastin, proteoglycans, fibronectin, and other glycoproteins. Degradation of the extracellular matrix plays an essential role in the aging process. It leads to a gradual decrease in dermal thickness, collagen content, and protein organization, all of which are essential for youthful-looking skin. In addition, destructive enzymes such as metalloproteinases negative impact skin firmness and elasticity and the integrity of the extracellular matrix.
The MMP activity increases with age and after UV exposure. This will result in a loss of extracellular matrix integrity, decreasing its structural and biological functions. Ultimately, matrix alteration will be responsible for the appearance of cosmetic concerns.
