Hydroderm, currently one of the biggest sellers on the cosmetics market, is an anti-aging product, and is yet another brand that marketed under the 'better than Botox' catch-phrase.
Hydroderm features a patented system that is supposed to 'take years off your appearance', consisting mainly of the proprietary Vyo-serum and collagen.
The manufacturer also states that Hydroderm posesses a patented Collagen Infusion Delivery System a liquid-based solution that will allow a wide range of medicaments to be transferred and absorbed through human skin.
Vyo-serum, the principal active ingredient in Hydroderm, is made from a natural concentrate of selected proteins, which produce an immediate tightening effect and increase in the skin's moisture content. Vyo-serum could be said to be an instant lifting serum and anti-aging active ingredient.
Hydroderm also contains marine collagen. Hydroderm manufactuer claims that, thanks to their collagen infusion technology, Hydroderm is superior to other collagen-based products
The protein collagn has a high molecular weight and can thus poorly penetrate skin. Hydroderm contains a system designes to allow collagen to penetrate into the deepest skin layers (dermis) and add to the body's own collagen supply.
The rest of the molecules remain in the upper skin layer (epidermis), where they slow down the loss of skin moisture.
