Some skin, even when well hydrated, ends up losing its hold. Over time, the volumes sag, the density relaxes, and the face seems to lose its initial structure. This phenomenon, often linked to hormonal factors and cellular aging, marks a visible turning point: the contours become blurred, the skin becomes drier, the complexion less uniform.
A targeted response to loss of density and sagging volumes
Skin aging is not limited to the appearance of wrinkles. It acts more deeply, modifying the distribution of facial volumes. This is what dermatologists call the reversal of the “youthful triangle”: a loss of density in the upper part of the face, combined with a progressive sagging of the lower areas, which alters the oval and marks the features.
It is to this precise dynamic that DermAbsolu Resculpting Intensive Night Cream responds, developed by Avène Dermatological Laboratories. By targeting the visible signs linked to the loss of structure – sagging, flattening of volumes, established dryness – this night treatment seeks to restore the architecture of the face where it has weakened.
Designed to support sensitive skin in this phase of transformation, the formula acts during sleep, a key period for cellular regeneration.
Bakuchiol, Pro-ceramides, Niacinamide: a formula that deeply restructures
With 1% Bakuchiol, the Intensive Resculpting Night Cream is based on an active ingredient known for its effects similar to those of retinol, but with much greater skin tolerance. This plant derivative stimulates collagen synthesis, strengthens skin density and targets the sagging mechanisms responsible for loss of structure.
Alongside it, Pro-ceramides (2.1%) provide continuous nourishing action. By restoring the barrier function, they promote the cohesion of the epidermis and limit deep dryness. Their presence also strengthens the skin’s resistance to external aggressions.
Niacinamide (2%) completes the action with its lightening and antioxidant properties. It acts on the homogeneity of the complexion and helps to smooth the skin surface. The formula as a whole is vegan, composed of 91% ingredients of natural origin, and tested on sensitive skin to guarantee high tolerance.
Redesigned volumes, a more even complexion: what the skin really gains
Designed for daily use, the Resculpting Intensive Night Cream combines a fresh, melting gel-cream texture with comfortable application. Enriched with microdroplets of oil, it glides over the skin, penetrates quickly and leaves no greasy film. In the evening, it is applied to the face, neck and décolleté, and can also be used as a mask, in a more generous layer one to three times a week.
From the first applications, the skin regains suppleness and a feeling of support. In a few days, the tightening effect is reinforced and dry areas are visibly nourished. After four weeks, the contours of the face appear clearer, sagging diminishes, and the oval gains definition. The complexion becomes more even, the features less drawn, and the volumes of the upper face, often deepened, seem better supported.
This result is the result of targeted action on the structure of the skin, but also on its ability to regenerate during the night. Gradually, the skin appears denser, more regular, with a refined texture and better hold. It is not a simple surface effect, but a transformation felt on a daily basis, which takes place over time.
Skin aging and loss of structure: what you need to know
1. Why does the oval of the face change with age?
Skin sagging, fat loss and loss of collagen modify the balance of volumes and relax the contours.
2. What do we call the “youth triangle”?
It is a dermatological expression which designates the upper area of the face (cheekbones and temples), naturally denser in young faces, which reverses over time.
3. At what age does loss of density become visible?
The first signs can appear around the age of 40, but this strongly depends on genetic, hormonal and environmental factors.
4. Can we act on the structure of the face without resorting to injections?
Certain cosmetic routines can support the skin by stimulating natural regeneration mechanisms, but their effects remain gradual.
5. What is the difference between wrinkles and sagging skin?
Wrinkles mark the surface, sagging changes the overall appearance of the face; the two phenomena can be linked but require different approaches.
