Unparalleled Purity and Potency: Pro-Xylane™
At the heart of this innovation is Pro-Xylane™, an iconic ingredient from Helena Rubinstein, the result of more than 25 years of research. 100% made in France, Helena Rubinstein's Pro-Xylane™ is up to 5 times more effective than similar molecules on the market.1
Pro-Xylane™ offers a comprehensive, foundational approach to skin repair and aging. Discover more here. Pro-Xylane™ works deeply: it penetrates the skin layers to target the extracellular matrix. Its action stimulates all 13 fundamental collagen types, essential for firmness, elasticity, and wrinkle reduction. It also promotes the synthesis of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) and proteoglycans, key components that plump the skin and improve its hydration. Clinical studies have demonstrated its ability to reduce wrinkles, improve firmness, and enhance skin radiance vs placebo.
Anti-Glycation Innovation: Glyco-Reverse™
REPLASTY AGE RECOVERY DAY [GR] also incorporates Glyco-Reverse™, an active ingredient inspired by the skin's natural repair mechanisms. Derived from sustainably sourced carob tree seeds, this unique ingredient has a positive effect on collagen multiplication and on collagen glycation. Glycation, often called "caramelization" of collagen fibers, is a phenomenon that stiffens and disorganizes the collagen network, contributing to skin aging. By acting on this root cause, Glyco-Reverse™ helps preserve skin protein integrity.
The synergistic combination of Pro-Xylane™ and Glyco-Reverse™
The association of these two power molecules forms Helena Rubinstein's "Triple Collagen Intervention," acting on three key dimensions:
- Decaramelization of collagen fibers: Glyco-Reverse™ protects collagen from glycation.
- Multiplication of collagen chains: This combination boosts the synthesis of 13 major collagen families, resulting in up to twice as much collagen production2.
- Remodeling of collagen networks: Pro-Xylane™ promotes the synthesis of structural proteins like laminin, fibrillin, and elastin, for better organization and increased resilience of the collagen network3.

Instant Radiance: The Radiance Complex
The formula is complemented by a Radiance Complex, combining Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) and Glycerin.
Niacinamide, at an optimal concentration of 2%, strengthens the skin barrier, enhances ceramide production, and boosts filaggrin expression for better hydration.
Glycerin, at 7%, intensely hydrates and improves skin texture. Together, these ingredients smooth and moisturize the epidermis for a visibly brighter and more even complexion.
A signature bandage texture, suitable for daytime use
REPLASTY AGE RECOVERY DAY [GR] is an advanced oil-in-water emulsion, designed to combine performance and sensory discretion. Its ultra-light yet luxurious watery texture penetrates quickly, allowing the skin to breathe throughout the day. A finely calibrated oil phase melts on contact with the skin, providing comfort without residue and ensuring optimal compatibility with makeup and everyday clothing, like a breathable bandage, offering a new, lightweight sensory experience.
- 95% of women agree that REPLASTY AGE RECOVERY DAY [GR] applies smoothly4,
- 92% agree that the texture lets skin breath4
- 90% agree that it absorbs quickly4.
Proven Results for Transformed Skin
Clinical studies conducted on women have demonstrated the efficacy of REPLASTY AGE RECOVERY DAY [GR]:
- Hydration and Skin Barrier: Skin barrier function recovery improved by 69% after 1 hour.5
- Firmness and Tonicity: A significant improvement in skin extensibility (+21.1%), tonicity (+49.6%), and firmness (+21.7%) after just 4 hours.6
- Fuller Volumes and Reduction of Aging Signs: After 28 days, improved radiance (+21%), smoothness (+12%), reduced redness (-30%) and dryness (-15.7%)7, replumped temples (+10%), fuller cheeks (+25%) and less visible forehead wrinkles (-14,9%).8
- After 56 days: improved skin density (+21%)9
REPLASTY AGE RECOVERY DAY [GR] is more than just a day cream; it's a scientific prowess that offers a complete solution to counteract, reverse and protect from collagen breakdown and reveal a more radiant skin with more volume and smoothed wrinkles.
