What is it?

Bel-Even™ is an innovative active ingredient developed to rebalance cortisol levels in the skin. It acts selectively on the enzyme that releases cortisol, the stress hormone, which, when overactive due to environmental or daily stress, can weaken the skin barrier and accelerate collagen degradation. Thanks to its targeted action, Bel-Even™ helps preserve the elasticity, firmness, and overall health of the skin.

What is this for?

Bel-Even™ acts in a targeted manner to counteract the negative effects of stress on the skin. Its key benefits include:
- Skin Cortisol Rebalancing: inhibits the enzyme 11β-HSD1, reducing the conversion from cortisone to cortisol.
- Collagen Protection: slows its breakdown, preserving the skin’s structure and elasticity.
- Wrinkle Reduction: improves skin elasticity and smooths the skin’s surface, leaving it more even-toned.
- Skin Barrier Strengthening: reduces transepidermal water loss (TEWL), keeping the skin hydrated and resilient against external aggressors.

Thanks to this comprehensive action, this active ingredient helps the skin stay strong, firm, and more toned, even during periods of heightened stress.

Daily stress and external agents, such as UV exposure, weather fluctuations, and fast-paced lifestyles, activate biological mechanisms that compromise skin health. Among these, one of the main ones is the increase in cortisol levels, the stress hormone. If produced in excess or over prolonged periods, cortisol can cause structural damage to the skin, accelerating the skin aging process.

The effects of cortisol on the skin
When cortisol levels become elevated, three key processes occur:
- Collagen degradation: the skin loses elasticity and firmness, with the appearance of wrinkles and skin sagging.
- Weakening of the skin barrier: transepidermal water loss (TEWL) increases, leaving the skin dehydrated and more vulnerable.
- Reduced regenerative capacity: the skin struggles to repair itself, appears dull, and shows signs of fatigue.

How to combat skin stress?
To protect the skin from the negative effects of stress, it is essential to address the root of the problem, balancing cortisol levels. Bel-Even™ is an innovative active ingredient developed specifically for this purpose: it selectively acts by inhibiting the enzyme 11β-HSD1, responsible for converting cortisone into active cortisol.
Thanks to its targeted action, Bel-Even™ helps the skin to:
- Regain its natural balance, reducing visible signs of stress such as dull, dry, fatigued skin.
- Preserve elasticity and tone, protecting collagen and slowing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.
