The science behind a new generation of care
Epigenetics is a field of scientific research that is shifting the boundaries of modern science and challenging traditional cosmetic paradigms. But what is epigenetics, and why has it become a powerful lever for skincare?
Understanding Epigenetics, Simply
Imagine a switch. Epigenetics is what allows you to turn certain genes on or off, or to modulate their intensity, without modifying their genetic code.
These switches can be influenced by:
- stress
- food
- sleep
- pollution
- toxins
- traumas
- UV rays, etc.
This explains why two people with the same genetic makeup (such as monozygotic twins) can have skin that ages differently depending on their lifestyle.
Why is it revolutionary for the skin?
Our skin renews nearly 3.8 million cells every second. Inside each of them is DNA, which contains our genes—literal biological instructions. These genes control, among other things, the skin's ability to produce collagen, regenerate, and cope with stress.
But our genes aren't fixed. Their activity can be altered by factors like UV rays, toxins, or chronic stress. This is called genetic damage or mutations, which can disrupt proper cellular function... and leave their visible mark on the skin. (the skin becomes duller, less firm, more marked.)
The good news? Epigenetic alterations are, to a large extent, controllable. By influencing the right epigenetic markers through targeted active ingredients and a healthy lifestyle, we can help the skin produce healthier, more functional cells, just like in its early days.

The Skin Diligent Epigenetic Approach
At Skin Diligent, we've developed an innovative approach that works upstream, at the heart of the cell, even before it divides. The goal: to promote the reproduction of healthier, more functional, and better-balanced skin cells.
Our formulas are based on epigenetic actives, combined with antioxidants, anti-inflammatories, and cellular nutrients. Together, they influence key gene expression pathways involved in maintaining youthful skin: collagen stimulation, cellular repair, reduction of oxidative stress, and reactivation of expression patterns typical of skin in full vitality.
Rather than hiding the signs of aging, they act at the source, on the causes of skin aging for firmer, smoother and more luminous skin.
Acting on hyperpigmentation through epigenetics
Hyperpigmentation, such as melasma or age spots, isn't just related to the sun or the passage of time. It can also reflect epigenetic disruptions affecting melanin-producing cells.
Skin Diligent's epigenetic-based treatments aim to regulate imbalances. By acting on melanocyte expression, they help normalize melanin production, for a more even and visibly brighter complexion.

Protect the skin from environmental aggressions
External aggressions, such as UV rays, pollution and toxins, also cause epigenetic changes in skin cells, contributing to skin aging.
Skin Diligent's epigenetic skincare strengthens the skin's natural defenses against these aggressions. Our formulations incorporate antioxidants and ingredients that act on various markers of skin aging to promote healthier gene expression.
Hydrate and strengthen the skin barrier
Healthy skin begins with a strong skin barrier and optimal hydration. Epigenetics activates key genes involved in these fundamental functions, ensuring skin radiance, suppleness, and resilience.
At Skin Diligent, our skincare incorporates active ingredients like tight junction proteins – to strengthen cellular cohesion and the skin barrier, maintain hydration and reduce transepidermal water loss.
Nutrition and Epigenetics: The Holistic Approach
Epigenetics doesn't stop at topical care. Diet plays a fundamental role. Certain phytonutrients have proven epigenetic power: sulforaphane from broccoli, curcumin from turmeric, genistein from soy, catechins from green tea... all compounds capable of positively influencing our cells.
This is why Skin Diligent has developed a comprehensive approach: care + nutrition, to optimize results and strengthen the skin from the inside and out.
The Future of Epigenetic Care
At Skin Diligent, we believe in a scientific and holistic approach to skin, combining advances in epigenetics with clean and effective formulations.
The rise of science-based skincare marks a profound transformation in the way we approach beauty. And we're proud to be at the forefront of this revolution.
