Beyond the anti-aging performance, Sothys Secrets Cream (Global Anti-Age De-Stressing Care) offers an unprecedented victory against cutaneous stress and its consequences. It profits from a major cosmetic innovation, Tex-OE®, a prickly pear identified as a HSP stimulator of "stress protein" and a cell protector. Tex-OE® stimulates the skin's stress proteins, which have the ability to preserve the cellular viability of the skin in times of stress. As we age, there is a decreased ability in the body to respond to stress. Tex-OE® in Sothys Secrets teaches the skin cells to rapidly activate their own defense mechanisms in case of stress and to improve their own protection. 67% of models that were treated reported a refinement to the contours of the face after 6 weeks. 68% of models that were treated showed an improvement in the depth of wrinkles after 6 weeks of application.
