Lift …

If its gravity that is catching up with you, then try Bioxil’s Advanced Anti-Aging Lifting Essence, a high performance anti-aging essence that stimulates collagen production to effectively smooth wrinkles and fine lines.

All Bioxil products contain UVA and UVB filters to protect the skin. They also all employ a unique nano-lipsomal delivery system, which mean that the key ingredients of these products are formulated into particles that are 100,000 times smaller than the width of human hair and then are combined with effective emulsions for better bonding and deeper penetration into skin. More details at: http://www.bioxil.com/main.php
