INSPIRATION / THE BEGINNING
After inserting a pure-collagen sponge soaked in NAC under the skin of a surgical patient to accelerate healing, Dr Yannis elevated the formula for his non-surgical patients. From there, NAC Y2 was born, a complex that includes a trio of actives with superior antioxidant capabilities, one of which stimulates the production of Glutathione – the body’s most powerful intracellular antioxidant. The superior results included epidermal strengthening, scar reduction, supports the healthy production of collagen, hyaluronic acid and elastin in the skin, and a more youthful appearance overall.
Dr Yannis sought to accelerate the healing process of his patient’s skin following surgical or non-surgical treatments. He wasn’t satisfied with what was available to surgeons at the time, so he set about finding healing solutions. Working with a team of scientists, Dr Yannis pioneered the brand signature healing complex NAC Y2. NAC Y2 was infused within the brands inaugural healing serum, which proved so effective that patients were seeking the products for everyday use. From there, 111SKIN was born. Used as the core of every product in the Reparative range and included in several other ranges, NAC Y2 has come to embody the principal of 111SKIN - innovative science that yields unrivalled results.
