Profile K Lotion
Product Description
ROFILE K
First there was A. Then there was E. After that C. Now there's yet another contender in the alphabet soup of vitamin-based skin cream ingredients claiming to do everything from smooth wrinkles to even out tone: Vitamin K. Anyone who's studied biology might ask,"Isn't" K the vitamin that helps blood clot? How could smearing it on skin improve my appearance?"
Much to the surprise of many scientists, it can.
Researchers at new York University and various dermatology centers have found that vitamin K may help turn around three skin conditions that plague millions of women: rosacea, spider veins and dark circles under the eyes."When you look at the before-and-after photos from studies done on women with these conditions, you notice a difference," says avid E. Bank, a dermatologist from Mt. Kisco, NY."There's only one glitch. Nobody knows how it works."
There are theories, though.
"Vitamin K likely functions in two different ways,"says Melvin Elson, the Nashville-based dermatologist who invented a method that gets vitamin K to skin (vitamins can't penetrate skin without a delivery system) and who holds the patent on its topical formulation."First, it connects with receptors on blood vessels, making them smaller and preventing blood leakage. This reduces spider veins and rosacea. Second,vitamin K carries pigment out of the skin, lightening up dark circles." Hale delivers to you a milk lotion fortified with Vitamin K, derived from natural sources, to bring new and healthier looking skin. With green tea and aloe to offer anti-inflammatory activity, Profile K provides much-needed relief from spider vein pressure and itching.
Many companies are also interested in Vitamin K products. A major cosmetic company is scheduled to launch a vitamin K-based skin cream by next year and certain companies have already developed a line of vitamin-based products to help prevent bleeding and less bruising.
