With age, the dynamic interaction between skin cells and the supporting fibers of the skin decreases. The network that gives strength and elasticity to the skin is weakened. It leads to a reduction in the skin's mechanical properties, and visual signs of aging such as wrinkles and loss of elasticity and firmness. It is these processes that we strive to counteract when we develop anti-aging skin care.

Heredity and age are the main reasons why we get wrinkles, while smoking, UV rays and air pollution are the important factors that contribute to the premature development of wrinkles. So what is called premature aging.

In premature aging, free radicals exert harmful oxidation on healthy cells and other structures in the skin. These oxidative processes are called oxidative stress. Oxidative stress plays a crucial role in skin aging. The skin's antioxidant properties are important defense mechanisms to reduce the consequences of oxidative stress. External causes of oxidative stress are often more powerful than the skin's antioxidant defenses can handle. This causes premature aging. This means that you get signs of aging and impaired function in the skin faster than what the body's own processes would indicate.

Our skin care products have been developed based on a philosophy that they should be effective in all layers of the skin. Several active substances and high concentrations of vitamins, antioxidants and essential fatty acids work in synergy for better results and a wider range of effects. The skin should become stronger, healthier and old damage repaired and new damage prevented at the same time.

Clinical studies are your and our guarantee that the effectiveness and tolerability of the products have been examined and found valid by independent dermatologists. It provides a high degree of certainty that the results are valid

In clinical studies on Dr.Ankerstjerne products, the results are based on objective and quantifiable measurements performed by independent dermatologists, and not self-reported effects.

We do not test on animals.

Clinical studies on Dr.Ankerstjerne's products have been conducted by independent dermatologists in a third-party testing laboratory in Poland.

The testers received the product in a white test tube with no logo or name, so they do not know which product or skincare brand they are testing.

The clinical studies have different arrangements depending on what is being investigated. In the long-term studies, the products are used as the only skin care product, morning and night, daily for 6-8 weeks. The results have been obtained by examining the test subjects' skin with, among other things, advanced 3D skin scanners and other measuring instruments, before and after the test period. No placebo was used. Instead, the results in the effect studies have been produced by comparing them with the skin care routine that the test subjects used previously.
