chemist who could help. Many said her briefs were too complex, and they couldn’t work with them. “They wanted to take my formula, which I wanted in one bottle, and split it into multiple products,” Debbie tells us. “They told me this would be easier for them to formulate, and I’d make more money. But this wasn’t my plan, belief or philosophy.” Third-time lucky, she found an incredible chemist, as obsessed with skincare as she is and dedicated to creating an elegant all-inone formula. “Simple routines get used. Used routines get results.” THE CELLIS ARCHITECTURE The Cellis range is designed to be simple to use by the majority of people. “The focus was on making sure the skin is healthy and strong, targeting the main signs of ageing: discolouration, sensitivity, dryness, and anything to do with inflammation,” Debbie explains. The first pillar is an antioxidant system. We all love antioxidants, but if you’re only using one in your routine, for example vitamin C, you’re only really focusing on one area. Think of it like going to the gym. You wouldn’t go and only do press ups, working out one area of the body! Debbie seeks to exercise all areas of the skin using vitamin C, astaxanthin, vitamin E, green microalgae and an azelaic acid derivate across the two products. The second pillar is the chrono-renewal system supporting nocturnal cellular renewal. “Your skin only heals and repairs itself at night, generally between 11pm and 4am. So, we want to make sure whatever we put on our skin works while we’re sleeping,” Debbie explains. This complex contains liposomal retinol that’s slow release and non-irritating, along with astaxanthin, acetyl hexapeptide-1 (an anti-inflammatory to calm the skin and focus on renewal), plus an azelaic acid derivative, and chlorella an anti-oxidant green algae extract. Finally, the barrier foundation. “I’ve been harping on about this for years! If your barrier is compromised, as many of ours are, nothing we do is going to have much of an impact,” Debbie says. So, the products are made to work in synergy to support the barrier for maximum impact with northern truffle mushroom to reduce inflammatory response, ceramide complex, prebiotics to suppress bad bacteria, fermented actives, sodium hyaluronate, oat amino acids and acetyl hexapeptide-1. “Your skin is a complex living system that demands a curated buffet of balanced, synergistic ingredients working in harmony for real, lasting results.” 80
