DNA Repair Enzymes: How NEOVA Heals Your Skin From the Inside Out

Do you feel like you’ve used every available product but are still struggling to achieve the clear, even, radiant skin that you once had and are longing for? Damage from the sun’s harmful rays and other environmental factors is one of the biggest reasons for visual and textural skin concerns. Thankfully, Ducharme Dermatology is excited to introduce you to NEOVA. This researched-backed line is proven to repair and remove signs of photodamage and photoaging by tackling these issues on a deeper level. NEOVA products use a variety of powerful ingredients, including DNA Repair Enzymes, to restore skin from the inside out. We are going to dive into what DNA Repair Enzymes are, how they work and which ones you’ll find inside NEOVA’s powerful and effective product lines.

DNA Repair Enzymes recognize and correct physical damage to DNA caused by exposure to UV light, radiation, genotoxicity and other reactive environmental factors. They can restore genetic information that’s been lost in cell destruction, give the skin a greater ability to self-correct and help prevent future damage. Astounding reductions in CPDs (cyclobutene pyrimidine dimers) have been shown in UV-damaged skin treated with DNA repair enzymes. The star ingredients you will find in the NEOVA products are Micrococcus Lysate Extract, Plankton Extract and Arabidopsis Thaliana. Let’s look at each of these individually!

Micrococcus Lysate Extract

These enzymes work to break down and repair DNA by creating new microdamage that allows for a polymerase to fill the gaps and repair the photodamaged cells. It also stimulates and intensifies the ability for self-repair of the damage and excisions. Large amounts of damage are removed as quickly as four to six hours from application! It’s like a shot of espresso for your skin cells! You can find this incredible ingredient in the Dual Matrix Refining Serum, the Ultimate Redness Relief Repairing Complex and the Retinol Rapid TX Balancing Serum, to name a few.

Plankton Extract

Liposome-encapsulated photolysomes containing photolyases that are derived from plankton are highly active in reversing lesions and preventing cell death by creating a reaction using blue light energy. This reaction repairs the damaged DNA. Our human cells do not have photoreactivating enzymes of their own to initiate this type of energy conversion and restoration! The ability to use science to harness this reaction for skin cell repair is INCREDIBLE. Thanks for the boost, plankton! A 45% reduction in UV induced DNA damage is possible on CONTACT. You’ll find this working hard in many NEOVA products including the Daily Moisture Antioxidant Cream.

Arabidopsis Thaliana

This mustard plant derivative packs a powerful punch with 8-oxoguanine-DNA glycosylase 1 (or OGG1, which sounds WAY cooler). Through encapsulated mitosome delivery, this DNA repair enzyme repairs and removes oxidative damage and protects the energy center of the cells. Through its use in NEOVA products, Arabidopsis Thaliana has the ability to eliminate over 90% of damage in TWO hours! Talk about a speedy recovery! NEOVA’s Super Eye Lift Serum, Illuminating Eye Serum and Reformist Night Serum are just a few of the products that pack this powerful ingredient.
