OUR PRODUCTS
Our raw ingredients are sourced from certified producers in Europe, Canada and Japan. All our products are designed in our own laboratory and produced in our own factory. We never skimp on ingredients and incorporate them to the max as suggested by the manufacturer. All ingredients are active components – we put nothing there to merely fill the bottle. Minimum amount of ingredients make for the maximum impact.
We never use parabens, SLS, silicones, mineral oils, PEGs, or synthetic colors.
The essence of skin care products is that the right ingredients penetrate the skin layer they are designed to help. D’DIFFERENCE products employ “smart molecules” meaning that we use molecules varying in size and weight. Some ingredients remain on top, some stop at the epidermis (upper layer), and others travel deep to the point where the epidermis meets the dermis (middle layer). This meeting point is where stem cells are born and where most of the work for the skin is done to maintain your youthful appearance.
The choices made in D’DIFFERENCE product formulation result in
– allowing your skin to absorb products quickly, never leaving it sticky; and
– allowing makeup to be immediately applied, leaving your skin silky and smooth.
MAIN INGREDIENTS IN OUR PRODUCTS
D’DIFFERENCE and D’DIFFERENCE FOR MEN products contain a great variety of active ingredients, each of them having its own unique and valuable features. We only use cold-mixing methodology for processing raw materials and mixing the components to ensure the production with the best quality.
HYDRESIA® emulsion* consists of natural oleosomes from safflower seeds, and its function is to retain the healthy level of moisture and nutrients in the skin. Safflower oleosomes act as natural water and nutrients’ reservoirs. When skin needs additional moisturizing or nutrition, oleosomes help to release them gradually, making the skin look youthful and bright during longer periods of time. As HYDRESIA® emulsion is a main ingredient in a majority of our products, this time-release system is a common feature of D’DIFFERENCE products. We purchase the emulsion from Canada, it is tested on all continents, on different ages and skin types. Its performance and skin tolerance is excellent, and we absolutely adore it!

Plant-Derived Stem Cells Extract that is included in D’DIFFERENCE Cell Innovation products and D’DIFFERENCE FOR MEN Age Difference Face Cream. It is a very efficient anti-ageing component stimulating collagen synthesis and the renewal of skin cells, it decreases the depth and length of wrinkles and also prevents the formation of new wrinkles. Plant-derived stem cells extract, processed in a way that all valuable properties of stem cells have been retained, is the most unique and innovative approach used in natural anti-ageing skin care products.
Collagen is a natural protein that provides our bodies with structural support — the fibrous, elastic, connective tissue in our bodies that holds us together. Collagen is a part of the natural make-up of our tendons, ligaments, joints, muscles, hair, skin, etc. As we age, the production of collagen in our body slows down. On the outside we see our skin start to wrinkle and lose its youthful radiance due to the breakdown of connective tissue. Since the plant stem-cell component has the potency to promote collagen production and to activate cells, you can expect your skin to rejuvenate. The component is an excellent functional ingredient for cosmetics enabling substantial cell activation and collagen synthesis to improve fine lines and wrinkles.

Hyaluronic Acid* is found in every human body. It is the key component of the extracellular matrix which is the space filler of the supporting scaffold cells. It allows skin cells to retain moisture and also stimulates collagen and elastin synthesis. It also transports nutrients in the blood to skin cells and serves as a cushion to lubricate and protect skin against damage. Hyaluronic acid fights ageing by stimulating the growth of new cells and the production of collagen and elastin. This function helps to reduce existing wrinkles and to prevent future ones from appearing. This multifunctional component reduces irritation, promotes healing and fights inflammation processes in the skin. Last but not least, it serves as the free radical scavenger and an antioxidant helping to protect the skin from ageing effects caused by excessive sunlight exposure.
We use this “miracle component” in different molecular weights in order to influence all the layers of the skin.
