The pros, led by Robert Langer, analyzed the composition of more than a hundred different polymers, and finally created a transparent silicone-based gel that perfectly imitates youthful skin.

As Lenta.ru writes with reference to an article in the journal Nature Materials, applying XPL gel to the skin of the face, you can get the so-called second skin, which perfectly masks wrinkles and other imperfections. The product retains its effect for 16 hours, and in addition, prevents the loss of moisture in the skin.

With the help of various additives, the physical characteristics of the XPL film (elasticity, compressibility, strength and resilience) can be changed. In this case, the agent does not need to be activated by heat or light when applied to the skin.

Human trials have shown that the gel can help solve the problem of bags under the eyes. The developers are confident that it can be used as a transparent makeup, as well as for anti-inflammatory treatment of wounds, burns and other skin injuries.
