Description
Prime Lotus Complex - Perfection inspired by the Purity of the Lotus
Prime Lotus Complex is a revolutionary next-generation active ingredient, obtained through the synergistic co-extraction of two sacred flowers: Egyptian Blue Lotus and Sacred Lotus, developed to restore the balance of oily and acne-prone skin, specially created to regulate the skin's biological mechanisms. It acts at the cellular level by inhibiting leptin receptors in sebocytes, reducing excessive sebum production and preventing inflammatory processes that lead to the appearance of imperfections, giving the skin a matte and uniform appearance. It reduces excessive sebum production of the skin and the processes that cause pore inflammation, leaving the complexion smooth and pure.
Ingredients: Propanediol, Glycerin, Nymphaea Caerulea Flower Extract, Nelumbo Nucifera Flower Extract
Tests and Clinical Studies
The efficacy of Prime Lotus Complex has been demonstrated through complex in vitro and in vivo studies, targeting both molecular mechanisms and clinical results on various skin types:
- Immediate in vivo effect: After just 8 hours from a single application, a 14% reduction in facial shine and a 15% decrease in active sebaceous glands were recorded.
- Reduction of imperfections (28 days): Clinical studies on 20 volunteers demonstrated a 25% reduction in sebum and a 65% decrease in inflammatory lesions. Also, a 37% reduction in porphyrins (indicators of squalene oxidation and bacterial presence) was observed.
- Decrease in sebaceous gland activity: A significant reduction in the number of active sebaceous glands was observed, stabilizing fat secretion in the long term.
- User evaluation: 85% of participants reported more matte and cleaner skin after just 2 weeks of use.
- Innovative in vitro mechanism: The cosmetic active utilizes leptin receptor (Ob-Rb) blocking to inhibit sebogenesis. Studies showed a drastic reduction in the expression of genes involved in lipid synthesis: leptin receptor (-85%), CIDEA (-269%), PLIN2 (-300%), and PLIN3 (-102%).
- Anti-inflammatory Action: A 90% reduction in the expression of the pro-inflammatory cytokine IL-8 was demonstrated, confirming its ability to soothe micro-inflammation specific to acne-prone skin.
- Efficacy on Caucasian Skin: Studies highlighted a 47% reduction in non-inflammatory lesions (blackheads and whiteheads) and a 41% decrease in general imperfections (spots and irregularities).
- Performance on Masculine Skin: Tests on men confirmed a visible reduction in imperfections and an evening out of skin texture, demonstrating the product's versatility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Does it dry out the skin like other similar treatments?
No. Unlike acids, strong antibacterial substances, or alcohol, Prime Lotus Complex regulates biological sebum production without dehydrating the epidermis. The glycerin and propanediol base provides additional hydration.
Can it be used during the day?
Yes, it is ideal for day products because it also offers skin protection against inflammation caused by external factors.
