Antu Brightening Serum

The clinically proven, Codex Beauty Antu Brightening Serum, re-densifies, firms, and protects the skin from pollution and premature aging. The formula contains the AntuComplex (M3 antioxidant mix & hydrolysed hyaluronic acid). This soothes and calms the skin, while supporting the activity of its natural antioxidant enzymes (catalase, glutathione, and superoxide dismutase).

Additionally, the Codex Brightening Serum complex also increases the expression of anti-inflammatory and wound healing genes, while reducing the expression of inflammatory genes.

The Antu Brightening Serum formula contains natural sources of oligopeptides that act to relax and smooth expression lines. Milk thistle ester reduces redness while entadine provides additional protection against environmental stressors. The Antu Brightening Serum has proven penetration into the epidermis after 4 hours, with an increase after 10 hours. It also has a proven film which forms to protect against pollution particles.

The Antu Brightening Serum increases hydration by 18% and decreases transepidermal water loss by 44% in 4 weeks. Furthermore, skin firmness increases by 6% at 8 weeks and collagen density increases by 4% in 4 weeks.

The brand features two collections: Bia and Antu. The Bia hydrating collection blends native Irish botanicals and BiaComplex. This improves skin hydration and moisture retention. Furthermore, it also enhances cleansing without stripping moisture, and thus protecting the skin barrier.

This collection is especially ideal for those who have sensitive skin, including psoriasis, excema and rosacea. The BiaComplex featured in this hydrating line is a patented bio-active blend which not only nourishes the skin but forms a protective, water-retaining film.

On the other hand, the Antu brightening collection harnesses the power of bio-actives from Patagonian plants. This protects and heals the skin. This collection includes a powerful antioxidant range and is beneficial for anti-aging. The featured AntuComplex was developed to soothe irritation and calm inflammation.

The protective formula comprises a unique blend of M3 (matico, maqui & murtilla), and hydrolysed hyaluronic acid. Additionally, also present are plant and fruit extracts from South America, recognised for their immuno-stimulant and analgesic properties.

Key Ingredients:

AntuComplex: This formula protects the skin and features a mix of M3 (matico, maqui & murtilla) and hydrolysed hyaluronic acid. It has soothing properties which make it effective for sensitive skin.

Hydrolysed Hibiscus Esculentus Extract: This plant has many anti-aging benefits. These include increasing skin cell turnover and reducing the appearance of wrinkles. As well as this, it assists in preserving collagen and elastin.

Coco-Caprylate | Annona Cherimola (Cherimoya) Fruit Extract: This fruit extract helps to brighten the skin, revealing a radiant appearance. It also boosts skin cell renewal and contains antioxidants. Antioxidants protect the skin from free radical damage.

Entada Phaseoloides Bark/Seed Extract: This skincare ingredient protects the skin against environmental aggressors. It also prevents premature skin aging, by boosting the skin's natural defences and immunity.

Milk Thistle Ester: Due to its anti-inflammatory and detoxifying properties, milk thistle is particularly effective for treating sensitive skin. This includes acne, eczema, psoriasis, and rosacea. Since it also has antioxidant qualities, it works to reduce wrinkles and other signs of aging.
