SKIN’S SECRET PLUMBING SYSTEM: WHY AQUALINES (AQUAPORINS) MATTER — AND HOW VIXIN TURNS THEM ON

Let’s talk about something you’ve probably never heard of — but your skin uses every second of the day: aquaporins. Think of them as microscopic plumbing lines running through every cell in your face. These tiny water channels control how well your skin stays hydrated, plump, and glowing.

And guess what? VIXIN’s skin smart formulas are built to activate them.

🔍 So… What Are Aquaporins?

Aquaporins are water channel proteins. They sit in your skin cells like tiny gateways — pulling in water and keeping it flowing between cells where it’s needed most. The superstar here is Aquaporin-3 (AQP3), which moves not just water, but glycerol — a critical molecule that helps your skin stay elastic, smooth, and resilient.

Translation? If your aquaporins aren’t firing… your glow isn’t either.

💡 VIXIN Doesn’t Force Hydration. It Reactivates It.

We don’t load our products with heavy synthetics or barrier-disrupting chemicals. We use intelligent, plant-based ingredients your skin already knows how to use — and that includes ones that support your skin’s natural hydration highways.

Here’s how VIXIN skincare helps switch your aquaporins back on:

• Apple Stem Cells (2.75% PhytoCellTec®)
  Clinically proven to help protect skin longevity, smooth wrinkles, and activate hydration pathways — including aquaporin expression.

• Goji Berry Stem Cells
  These support the skin’s osmotic balance and antioxidant defense — keeping water where it belongs and helping aquaporins operate freely under stress.

• Gotu Kola (Centella Asiatica)
  Known to calm, firm, and stimulate circulation — especially around the eyes. It promotes healing and micro-flow, which supports aquaporin delivery at a cellular level.

• ALGAKTIV® RetinART
  A powerful retinol alternative derived from algae — shown to improve texture, collagen, and radiance without irritating the barrier or shutting down hydration channels.

• Green Coffee Extract (where included)
  Naturally high in antioxidants and circulation-boosting compounds — helping energise skin and improve delivery of water and nutrients to deeper layers.

• Plant Glycerin
  This is exactly what AQP3 is designed to move. We use high-grade, plant-derived glycerin that fuels hydration flow without clogging or irritating.

• Hyaluronic Acid + Aloe Vera
  These bind water and cushion skin cells, making sure aquaporins have a steady reservoir to work with — keeping hydration deep and sustained.

• Nourishing Oils: Avocado, Rosehip, Olive, Shea & Cocoa
  These don’t block aquaporins — they support them. By feeding the lipid barrier, they keep skin soft, protected, and ready to absorb everything it needs.

🚀 Skin Smart Technology = Targeted Delivery

Every VIXIN product is designed with Skin Smart Technology — meaning:

• We respect your skin’s natural biology

• We use delivery systems that mimic what your skin already understands

• We don’t disrupt your barrier to get results — we partner with your skin

You’ll feel the hydration deep down — not just a surface-level slick.

🧠 Why This Matters (Especially If You’re Over 30)

As we age, AQP3 levels naturally decline. That’s why your skin suddenly goes from “dewy” to “dry AF” overnight. The key isn’t throwing on more product — it’s activating the skin’s ability to hydrate itself again.

That’s what we do. That’s what you’ll feel.

🔥 Bottom Line?

You don’t need a 10-step routine or a lab coat to understand great skincare. You need products that work with your biology, not against it. And VIXIN does just that.

We’re not here to mask the symptoms — we’re here to switch your glow back on.

Aquaporins are real. Our skincare activates them. And your skin will feel the difference.
