    ¿Why Collesta?


    At Collesta, we believe in the harmonious balance of science and nature. Our commitment is to harness the best of both worlds to create skincare products that are both effective and gentle.

    Scientifically Backed Botanical Extracts

    The botanical extracts and niacinamide in Collesta cream have been shown in numerous published studies to improve the overall appearance of facial skin and ameliorate certain signs of aging. However, Dr. Magro emphasizes that no formal studies using Collesta on humans or animals have been conducted to determine its effects on the skin.

    Powerful Phytologic Compounds

    Collesta cream includes a carefully selected blend of phytologic compounds, each chosen for their unique properties and benefits:

    • Boswellic Acid: Known for its anti-inflammatory properties, it helps reduce skin inflammation and promotes overall skin health.
    • Curcumin: With powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, it helps protect the skin from oxidative stress and inflammation.
    • Red Ginseng: Enhances skin barrier function, hydration, and has antioxidant properties.
    • Rice Jasmine: Offers antioxidant benefits and helps even skin pigmentation.
    • Sea Buckthorn: Provides anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects, enhances hydration, and improves skin barrier function.
    • Viola Tricolor: Known for its skin-soothing and hydrating properties.
    • White Peony: Offers anti-inflammatory benefits and helps maintain skin health.

    Benefits of Our Unique Formula

    The combined cocktail of these botanicals along with niacinamide could theoretically result in several beneficial effects:

    • Reduced Inflammation: Boswellic acid, curcumin, sea buckthorn, and white peony help minimize inflammation, soothing the skin.
    • Antioxidant Effects: Curcumin, niacinamide, rice jasmine, red ginseng, and sea buckthorn protect the skin from free radicals and oxidative stress.
    • Improved Skin Barrier Function: Red ginseng, sea buckthorn, and viola tricolor strengthen the skin's natural barrier.
    • Enhanced Hydration: Red ginseng, sea buckthorn, and viola tricolor provide deep hydration, keeping the skin supple and moisturized.
    • Even Pigmentation: Red ginseng, rice jasmine, and niacinamide work to even out skin tone and reduce pigmentation.
    • Reduced Metalloproteinase Activity: Boswellic acid, niacinamide, red ginseng, rice jasmine, sea buckthorn, viola tricolor, and white peony inhibit metalloproteinases, which has a critical beneficial effect on improving skin elasticity and dermal integrity by enhancing collagen and elastic fiber synthesis.

    Commitment to Natural and Effective Skincare

    At Collesta, we are dedicated to creating skincare products that blend natural ingredients with scientific research. Our formulations are designed to provide you with the best possible care, enhancing your skin's health and appearance without compromising on safety or quality.

    Choose Collesta for a skincare routine that respects and nurtures your skin, using the power of nature supported by scientific evidence.
