The skin is the largest organ in the human body weighing approximately ten pounds and covering an area of about 16 square feet. People often take skin for granted and tend not to take optimal care of it. Our skin is responsible for protecting our internal organs from the toxic external world. Our skin protects us from heat, cold, and physical injuries. It also provides us with sensory information about the nature of the external world, and is our first defense against invasion by bacteria, viruses, and other toxic elements. The skin is also an excretory organ, removing toxins from the body via perspiration.

The skin, as the outermost barrier of the body, is exposed to various sources of oxidative stress, in particular UV-irradiation and environmental toxins such as cigarette smoke, air pollution, etc. Internally, the skin is attacked like any other organ, through processes involving glycation (protein cross-linking), collagen-elastin degradation, and free radical-induced injury.1

Rejuvenex® is the Life Extension original skin restoration product. It was first formulated in the 1970s by Professor Carmen Fusco, and has been reformulated several times to incorporate the latest research findings on the causes and prevention of skin damage. Rejuvenex® now has over 30 years of clinical research behind it. Aging causes a signifi-cant reduction in several compounds that maintain the moisture, suppleness and elasticity of young healthy skin.28 With over 26 active ingredients, Rejuvenex® provides the complete moisturizing complex, including NaPCA, lactic acid, urea, hyaluronic acid, and ceraphyl GA-D. Some peo-ple prefer to use Rejuvenex® classic as opposed to the newer RejuveneX® Factor formula, described in the previous pages.
