SKIN BOOSTERS
vs POLYNUCLEOTIDES
Explained
Do you know that every decade of our lives, we lose 1 teaspoon of hyaluronic acid?
​
Skin Boosters, containing hyaluronic acid, vitamins, and peptides, restore elasticity, firmness & radiance, imparting a healthy GLOW.
​
Meanwhile, Polynucleotides, which consist of nucleotides with nitrogenous bases, pentose sugars, and phosphate groups, repair and regenerate skin cells, enhancing rejuvenation.
​
Together, they provide a comprehensive treatment, leaving the skin looking refreshed, revitalised, and beautifully RADIANT.
Here’s a breakdown of the differences in benefits:
​
​
COMPOSITION:
-
Polynucleotides (PNs):
Polynucleotides are fragments of DNA derived from natural sources (like salmon). They primarily work by stimulating cellular regeneration, collagen production, and providing anti-inflammatory benefits.
​
-
Skin Boosters:
Skin boosters typically contain hyaluronic acid (HA), a naturally occurring substance that is key for hydration and maintaining skin plumpness. Some skin boosters may also contain vitamins, amino acids, or other nutrients.
​​
​
KEY MECHANISMS:
Polynucleotides:
-
Regeneration and Repair:
PNs promote cell regeneration and repair damaged tissue by activating fibroblasts and stimulating collagen synthesis.
-
Anti-inflammatory Action:
They reduce inflammation, soothing irritated or damaged skin.
-
Nucleic Acid Effect:
The DNA fragments assist in wound healing, tissue repair, and skin restructuring.
​
Skin Boosters:
-
Hydration:
Skin boosters deeply hydrate the skin by increasing water retention through the action of hyaluronic acid, which improves skin plumpness and elasticity.
-
Moisture Barrier:
They enhance the skin’s ability to retain moisture, combating dryness and dullness.

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​IDEAL CANDIDATES:
-
Polynucleotides:
Best suited for individuals dealing with aging skin, tissue damage, scarring, and skin that needs repair. It’s also good for those looking for anti-inflammatory and healing benefits, as well as improved skin tone and texture.
​
-
Skin Boosters:
Ideal for those with dry, dull, or dehydrated skin who are looking for enhanced hydration, plumpness, and smoother texture. It works well for those wanting a natural-looking glow.
​
​
TREATMENT DURATION & EFFECTS:
-
Polynucleotides:
Effects can be longer-lasting as they work to rebuild and repair the skin over time, providing benefits such as collagen production and tissue regeneration.
​
-
Skin Boosters:
Results are quicker but may be more temporary, with the need for touch-ups every 6-9 months as hyaluronic acid degrades over time.
SUMMARY
-
Polynucleotides focus on repairing, regenerating, and rejuvenating the skin**, addressing deeper skin issues like aging, scars, and pigmentation.
-
Skin boosters are excellent for **hydration, plumping, and giving the skin a natural glow**, ideal for superficial concerns such as dryness and fine lines.
​
Both treatments can be complementary depending on the individual's skin concerns and goals.
