In Appreciation of MZ Skin’s Bio-Placenta Hyaluronic Acid Serum

When was the last time you had a full, blissfully uninterrupted eight hours of sleep? Not sure? We can’t remember either. The frenetic demands of modern life often mean our treasured slumber suffers and, when that happens, so does our skin.

Enter: the Bio-Placenta Hyaluronic Acid Serum from MZ Skin. Formulated by founder and renowned oculoplastic surgeon, Dr Maryam Zamani, to mimic the skin’s natural nighttime renewal processes, it uses a clever concoction of ingredients to smooth, revive and rejuvenate. Promising eight hours sleep in one smart serum, it’s only right this creation is taking it’s place in our hallowed Beauty Hall of Fame.

MZ Skin is a brand born in the clinic, specifically, Dr Zamani’s Chelsea clinic, where she leverages 20 years of medical and aesthetic expertise. This formulation exemplifies MZ Skin’s ethos: a scientific, yet still distinctly luxurious approach to skin care. Ingredients take their inspiration from natural processes in the body, with liposomal technology (where ingredients are designed to mimic the structure of cell membranes) to help encourage the absorption of each ingredient, helping to maximise results.

Likelihood is, the moment you saw MZ Skin’s famed serum, one ingredient had already jumped out to you: “bio-placenta”. This bio-engineered (translation: lab created) polypeptide blend targets fine lines and wrinkles and rejuvenates the skin.

The idea is to encourage, or mimic, the natural processes that occur during sleep. Skin usually goes into renewal overdrive when we enter the land of nod: replenishing, restoring and renewing, and with a formulation also featuring plantago stem complex, brown macro algae complex, tri-peptide complex and more, this formulation might just be the next best thing.

When considering a product for the Beauty Hall of Fame, efficacy and testing is top of our criteria list. The Bio-Placenta Hyaluronic Serum receives top marks all around, with a clinical study showing a 32% reduction in fine lines and a 28% improvement in elasticity over 12 weeks. With 93% of testers showing a reduction in wrinkles. With numbers like that behind it, this star serum is more than pedestal-worthy.
