Wellsprings Bioidentical Face Serum - Wellsprings Health

Wellsprings Bioidentical Face Serum is a new kind of skin care, developed specifically to fight the effects of menopause.

At menopause, skin ageing is accelerated as hormone levels drop, causing diminished blood flow and the reduction of essential elements like collagen and elastin. The result is dry skin, lines, wrinkles and less resilience against damage.

Triple Action Formula

Wellsprings Bioidentical Face Serum's triple action formula combines immediate improvements in skin tone and texture with long term protection against the structural effects of ageing.

Restores Depleted Hormones

Wellsprings' synergistic blend of bioidentical hormones and hyaluronic acid tackles the root cause of ageing skin - hormone depletion - building a daily foundation of improved skin health through the menopause and beyond.

Reduces the Signs of Ageing

Bioidentical hormones increase production of collagen, elastin and glycosaminoglycans, reducing wrinkles and fine lines, and revitalising thin, sagging skin, while hyaluronic acid boosts moisture for deep daily hydration.

Builds Skin Health and Resilience

Improves long term skin health and resilience to environmental damage, by improving blood flow, boosting nutrient delivery and the removal of toxins.

Bioidentical Oestrogen

Oestrogen is an essential element of skin function, health and wellness. Once skin becomes oestrogen deficient it undergoes histological changes responsible for decreases in collagen and IGF-1 production, among others, that are associated with the rapid proliferation of unwanted ageing skin symptoms. Supplementation with an oestrogen enriched serum can:

Stimulate the production of collagen
Stimulate the production of elastin
Stimulate the development of glycosaminoglycans, which improve hydration
Improve blood flow in the skin

Bioidentical Progesterone

A British Journal of Dermatology study showed that progesterone cream was more effective than non-progesterone anti-ageing creams in terms of improving skin elasticity and firmness in peri-menopausal, menopausal and post-menopausal women. The study, conducted over several months, showed that topical progesterone use resulted in marked improvements on four key counts when compared to an average skin cream:

Higher reduction in wrinkle and fine lines (29% v 16%)
Higher increase in skin tightening (23% v 13%)
Higher reduction in the depth of eye wrinkles (10% v 7%)
Higher reduction in the depth of “laugh lines” (10% v 7%)

Hyaluronic Acid

Hyaluronic acid is a glycosaminoglycan that occurs naturally in the skin, connective tissue, eyes, and joints. Roughly half of the hyaluronic acid in your body is present in your skin, where it binds to water to help retain moisture. However, the natural ageing process and exposure to things like ultraviolet radiation from the sun, tobacco smoke and pollution can decrease its concentration in the skin. When applied to the surface of the skin, hyaluronic acid can reduce fine lines, wrinkles and redness. Daily application of a hyaluronic acid serum can:

Deeply rehydrate the skin
Reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles
Leave skin clearer and brighter

Suggested Use

Use Wellsprings Bioidentical Face Serum twice a day - morning and evening - as part of your daily facial skincare routine. Cleanse skin thoroughly then apply a pea-sized amount of serum using small tapping or pressing motions with your fingertips. Do not rub your skin, let the serum absorb into your skin on its own. For best results apply to slightly damp skin.

Using Wellsprings Face Serum With Our Menopause Creams

Wellsprings menopause creams, Serenity and Twenty to One, are transdermal creams formulated to treat symptoms of menopause including hot flushes, night sweats and menopause related weight gain. They are applied to different parts of the body to optimise hormone absorption and maximise their medicinal affect.

Wellsprings Bioidentical Face Serum is formulated specifically for dermal release and intended to be applied exclusively to the face. As such it can be used alongside all other Wellsprings hormone creams without any change of dosage.

Also note that our face serum can continue to be used after menopause, for a lifelong boost to your skin's health and vitality.

How Menopause
Affects Your Skin

Our skin naturally gets less resilient as we get older but the dramatic hormonal changes during menopause can greatly accelerate this process in many ways.

Decreased blood flow

Blood flow through the skin is reduced during menopause, so less nutrients and oxygen are available to nourish it. This contributes to the thinning of the skin and a slower cell turnover rate, causing a reduction in the barrier function of the skin and more water loss, dry skin, lines and wrinkles.

Decreased collagen

Menopause also decreases your body’s production of collagen (up to a 30% drop within 5 years of menopause) and the growth factor IGF-1 which keep your skin supple and thick. This combination of thinner and drier skin is much more prone to itching, irritation and bruising.

Decreased Elastin

Elastin is a key extracellular matrix protein that is responsible for keeping skin taut. The decrease in elastin during menopause contributes to wrinkles and sagging skin.

Decreased Melanin

Normal melanin levels in the skin are regulated by our hormones, and menopause can upset this balance, increasing susceptibility to sun damage, blotchiness and age spots.
