Why is liposomal delivery important?
Typically, your cell membranes will only allow fat-soluble nutrients through the cells, unless it’s a molecule that your cell recognizes and has specific transporters to take them inside. Liposomes can merge with your cell membranes and bring almost any molecule to enter your cells and penetrate the skin layers.
Collagen and hyaluronic acid are large polymeric molecules that are water soluble, so they don’t readily enter your cells. Idebenone, lysine, ornithine, and glutamine are also water-soluble. These are all very expensive ingredients that typically enter your skin cells very poorly. The liposome delivery system helps these ingredients penetrate the skin layers and enter the skin cells.
- Apply a pea-sized amount to the desired area and massage in the cream for at least 1 min, then allow additional time for the Liposomes to absorb into your skin. You only need a thin layer of this cream due to its Liposomal nature it absorbs MUCH more than topical creams.
- For added benefit spritz the skin with purified water after applying the cream. Hyaluronic Acid holds 1,000 times its weight in water and will absorb and deliver that H2O to your skin cells inside the Liposomes.
- Best applied in the morning, before makeup
- You only need to use this cream 1x daily

Hygieia Crepe Repair cream is a synergistic formulation of the following clinically-proven ingredients, delivered in a liposomal system.
Hyaluronic acid is a natural polymer found in skin and joints. It has strong water-attractant properties, so it helps the skin better hold on to moisture. A clinical study from Miami Skin Institute showed that hyaluronic acid improved skin hydration by almost 100% and decreased the depth of wrinkles by up to 40%. These results were observed as early as two weeks into the clinical trial.
Retinol or vitamin A is crucial for skin health and many people don’t consume enough of it. It activates genes that stimulate cell turnover, increased collagen and elastin production, and reduced excess skin pigmentation. These changes improve skin thickness, strengthen the skin barriers, and put hyaluronic acid and collagen in the right places. Therefore, retinol is an important ingredient for crepey and wrinkle skin repair.
Glycolic acid turns on skin renewal genes which activate collagen production and increase hyaluronic acid. At the same time, it loosens and exfoliates the stratum corneum layer, allowing other ingredients in the cream to penetrate deeper layers of your skin without compromising the skin barrier.
Vitamin E is a potent fat-soluble antioxidant that strengthens the skin barrier and protects the skin from sun damage and other sources of day to day oxidative stress.
Idebenone is a water-soluble analog of CoQ10, an anti-aging mitochondria antioxidant and electron carrier. Idebenone enters the mitochondria more readily than CoQ10. Studies have shown that idebenone can jumpstart the mitochondria, which reactivates your skin’s natural repair processes. A clinical study has shown that it reduces fine lines and wrinkles by 29% within 6 weeks of use.
Collagen is the most abundant structural protein in your body. In your skin, it gives the elastic and youthful appearance. In a clinical study from France, 3% collagen peptides can significantly reduce the number and depth of wrinkles within 4 weeks.
L-Lysine is an essential amino acid that is a building block of collagen. As a topical skin ingredient, it is an amino acid used in the crosslinking of collagen fibers.
L-ornithine is an amino acid that doesn’t get used as part of proteins. It stimulates skin regeneration by supporting collagen production and increasing nitric oxide levels.
L-glutamine is so important that it is the most abundant amino acid in the body. In the skin, it supports balanced immune function and regenerative processes that aid in skin repair. Glutamine also turns on collagen genes and works as a building block for collagen.
The mitochondria is your fountain of youth. It produces the energy (ATP) that fuels the skin’s internal repair process. Oxidative stress throughout your lifetime can result in tired mitochondria, leading to premature skin aging and many modern chronic diseases.
The powerful components of Crepe Repair cream include:
Mitochondria booster: Idebenone, a synthetic analog of Coenzyme Q10, is a potent antioxidant that jumpstarts your mitochondria.
A study in the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology found that after 6 weeks of using 1% idebenone cream twice daily, women experienced:
- 26% reduction in skin roughness and dryness
- 37% improvement in skin hydration
- 29% reduction in fine lines and wrinkles
- 33% improvement in sun-damaged skin
- Reduction in markers of skin inflammation and damage
Anti-aging building blocks: Hyaluronic acid and collagen are powerful anti-aging building blocks for your skin. Hyaluronic acid holds up to 1,000 times its weight in water, so it increases your skin’s water retention and reduces wrinkles. Collagen helps strengthen the skin’s elasticity and improves hydration.
Cellular orchestrators: Retinol and glycolic acid help activate the rejuvenating genes that boost collagen production.
Antioxidants: Idebenone, vitamin E, alpha lipoic acid, and grapefruit seed extract help neutralize oxidative stress and protect your skin from day to day exposure.
These powerful anti-aging molecules are mostly large or water-soluble molecules, which don’t enter the skin cells well on their own. Our Liposomal delivery system delivers these large and water-soluble molecules into your skin cells and mitochondria. Glycolic acid also helps loosen up the dead cells in the stratum corneum, allowing the other ingredients to reach the deeper skin layers. Because the delivery system is so effective, you will need much less product to
1. After six weeks' use of a 1.0% idebenone formula, a 26% reduction in skin roughness/dryness was observed, a 37% increase in skin hydration, a 29% reduction in fine lines/wrinkles, and a 33% improvement in overall global assessment of photodamaged skin. For the 0.5% idebenone formulation, a 23% reduction in skin roughness/dryness was observed, a 37% increase in skin hydration, a 27% reduction in fine lines/wrinkles, and a 30% improvement in overall global assessment of photodamaged skin.

What is crepey skin and what causes it?
Crepey skin refers to thin, dry, wrinkled, dull, and sagging skin like crepes. It’s similar to wrinkles but the skin feels looser and more fragile.
It happens because oxidative stress breaks down collagen and elastin fibers that hold the structure of your cells. These fibrous proteins give your skin a youthful, smooth, and springy texture.
As the skin ages, it also loses the ability to hold moisture, causing it to feel dry and more fragile.
Causes of crepey skin include:
- Excessive sun exposure
- Bluelight exposure from computers, tablets, smartphones, and TV screens
- Other sources of oxidative stress, such as pollution, smoking, mental-emotional stress, unstable blood sugar, toxic exposures, and fried foods
- Hormone imbalances, such as estrogen dominance, can increase fats in the thighs and back of the arms. Whereas menopause can increase fat in the midsection, causing more skin sagging in other areas.
- Fast weight loss, which requires the skin to catch up
- Dehydration both from the body’s dehydration and the skin’s inability to retain moisture
- Toxic ingredients in skincare products and cosmetics, such as parabens, perfumes, and phthalates, which create oxidative stress and hormone imbalances
What are ways to fix crepey skin?
Surgical and dermatologic procedures can fix crepey skin, but they can be invasive, painful, and costly.
To repair crepey skin from inside the cells rather than just plumping the skin up, it is important to use the 4-pronged approach, including:
- jumpstarting the mitochondria
- providing your skin with the right anti-aging nutrients and building blocks
- turning on the anti-aging genes
- providing the right antioxidants
Hygieia Crepey Repair Cream provide options that help you repair crepey skin without such procedures by addressing all of these aspects.
In addition, consider the following lifestyle changes to minimize skin-damaging oxidative stress:
- Avoiding excessive sun exposure
- Minimize blue light exposure from screens
- Eating a diet that maintains healthy levels of blood sugar
- Reducing toxic exposure and harmful skincare ingredients
- Working with a practitioner to balance your hormones
- If you’re losing weight, lose weight gradually
- Supporting your mitochondria with red light therapy and exercise
Typically, your cell membranes will only allow fat-soluble nutrients through the cells, unless it’s a molecule that your cell recognizes and has specific transporters to take them inside. Liposomes can merge with your cell membranes and bring almost any molecule to enter your cells and penetrate the skin layers.
Your skin also has a keratinous layer called the stratum corneum. This keratin, the material that strengthens your nails and makes them waterproof, is permeable to very few things. The liposomal delivery system helps transport our powerful anti-aging ingredients past the stratum corneum.
