Lancome Neuro Cosmetics
The discovery of cutaneous nervous system has led to the development of neuro cosmetics. Neuro-cosmetics is a science that studies the relationship between the nervous system and the skin. The receptors in the skin that detect heat, cold, pain, itch and pressure would transmit the information to the cerebral cortex of the brain.
I heard about this when I was studying lancome"s latest skincare lines that tap into this new science: The neurocalm skincare range and the neurowhite skincare range.
Your skin has many nerves and sensory receptors which link the skin to the brain. When you are stressed, neuromediators are released by the nerve fibers which would then affect the skin cells.
Notice how your skin looks terrible when you are stressed out. That is due to the effect these stress mediators have on your skin.
Let us look at Lancome Hydra Zen, Neurocalm range that is an antistress moisturizer for your skin. It calms and destresses your skin. Notice how skin gets more sensitive when you are stressed out. Eczema sufferers especially would note how eczema flares up when under stress. Rashes tend to get worse when the sufferer is stressed out.
Back to Hydra Zen. It works in 3 ways.
- The formula moisturizes the skin with hyaluronic acid, a moisturizer that is found naturally within the skin. It binds water to your skin, keeping your skin soft and supple.
- It also contains the neurocalm complex made of rose de france, mu dan pi and moringa, which soothe the skin and helps it resist stress, both emotional and environmental stress.
- Hydra zen contains sea fennel extract which stimulates the production of beta-endorphins. These work to make skin feel better, by dulling pain. Beta endorphins also boost your immunity and help you relax. They promote a sense of well being.

Neuro-DMG
A dietary supplement to support brain and neurological functions. Neuro-DMG™ is a nutritional supplement specifically formulated to support brain function. This formula was designed for individuals who have difficulty with memory or recall, thought focus, and following information or conversations. DMG supports brain neurotransmitter production, oxygen utilization, circulation to the brain, and a healthy response to external stressors.
Neuro-Logic
Neuro·Logic is a highly advanced, preventive maintenance formula for your mind. The unique combination of ingredients has been carefully selected by Dr. David Perlmutter, the internationally recognized neurologist. Taken as directed, Neuro·Logic offers powerful support for improved memory and mental acuity.
Neuro·Logic contains phosphatidylserine, a cutting edge supplement which functions as a building block for neurons. It also includes acetyl-L-carnitine to increase energy to eliminate waste products from brain cells. Similarly, this formula contains Ginkgo biloba extract that has been studied for its ability to improve memory and sharpen mental function. The human brain’s dry composition is 30% lecithin. Bioavailable lecithin is vital to the brain’s production of acetylcholine, a key neurotransmitter, and is an important ingredient of Neuro·Logic.
KYOLIC Aged Garlic Extract is also included in Neuro·Logic for its proven stimulation of vital neuron-protecting antioxidants and scientifically validated anti-aging effects on the entire body. No brain health formula could be complete without folic acid and vitamin B12. Together, these two vitamins are critical factors for the preservation of normal brain function.
Neuro Optimizer
Neuro-Optimizer® is nutrition for the brain, combining CDP Choline (cytidine 5’-diphosphocholine, also known as Citicoline), Phosphatidylserine, Alpha Lipoic Acid, Acetyl L-Carnitine, L-Glutamine and Taurine to enhance brain metabolism and antioxidant protection.
Citicoline (CDP-Choline) is a naturally occurring, water-soluble biological compound that is an essential intermediate for the synthesis of phosphatidylcholine, a major constituent of the gray matter of brain tissue (30%). Citicoline promotes brain metabolism by enhancing the synthesis of acetylcholine and restoring phospholipid content in the brain.
PS (Phosphatidylserine) supports the brain’s physiological processing of stress and promotes neuronal communication by its effect on cell membrane fluidity. The antioxidants Acetyl L-Carnitine, Alpha Lipoic Acid and Taurine provide protection for the neurons from damage caused by certain free radicals. Acetyl L-Carnitine, Alpha Lipoic Acid and L-Glutamine also support energy utilization by their effects on fatty acid metabolism, oxidative decarboxylation and gluconeogenesis. Taurine also aids in osmoregulation (maintenance of proper concentrations of ions) inside the cell.

Lancomes Neurowhite is even more interesting. It utilizes neurocosmetic technology to make skin fairer. The secret behind its effectiveness lies in the discovery that when a person is emotionally stressed, the nerve endings would produce CGRP which signals melanocytes in the skin to produce melanin, the skin pigment responsible for darker skin.
Neurowhite works in 3 ways.
- Lancome Neurowhite contains Ellagic acid which tackles the emotional stress that would ultimately trigger overproduction of melanin.
- It contains MelaNO complex which counteracts the skin darkening due to enviromental factors like UV light, pollution and free radicals.
- Beech Bud in the formula exfoliates the darkened skin, allowing the fairer skin to surface, leading to brighter, clearer skin.
