## Why do wrinkles tend to form where the face moves during expressions?

POLA Chemical Industries, which handles research, development and production for the POLA ORBIS Group, announced new research findings on the relationship between compression of the skin caused by facial movements (facial-expression pressure®) and ultraviolet light. The company found that in epidermal cells exposed to facial-expression pressure, ultraviolet light causes a greater increase in the expression of inflammatory factors, which in turn leads to increased expression of factors that attract neutrophils through plasmin. The findings help explain why wrinkles form especially easily in areas that move with facial expressions, a phenomenon that ultraviolet light alone could not explain. They also suggest that ingredients such as tranexamic acid, which suppress plasmin production, may inhibit the accumulation of neutrophils in wrinkled areas.

## A key to restoring supple dermis that resists wrinkle formation has been discovered

POLA Chemical Industries of the POLA ORBIS Group focused on the dermal “reticular layer” and its fibroblasts, which are involved in wrinkle formation. The company found that RSPO3 (R-Spondin3), a factor whose expression is naturally lower in fibroblasts in the reticular layer, plays a role in creating flexible dermis. Suppressing RSPO3 expression reduced the expression of various proteins that make up flexible dermis, including type I collagen. The company also confirmed that a blended extract of horse chestnut and Arabian jasmine promotes RSPO3 expression and increases the production of flexible dermal components. The findings could lead to a new approach to developing supple dermis in wrinkle-prone areas that is resilient to facial-expression pressure.

Facts:
- Researchers found that expression of the RSPO3 gene, which is involved in regulating protein production, is naturally about half as high in the reticular layer as in the papillary layer
