Translation: Your skin makes oxytocin.
The hormone also binds to receptors in the skin.
And this phenotype usually spits out these cytokines that are inflammatory and destructive.
In general, oxytocin is making you healthier, says Dr. Hayre.
And she confirmed the role it plays in skin health with a small study in her office.
Six women collected urine samples over a 24-hour period so Dr. Hayre could measure their oxytocin levels.
I coined it the oxytocin social-exchange system,' she says.
She shared her research with her patients and was blown away by the response.
Now they feel validated, like Yes, he took this away from me.

So far,Cutocin has three productsand they all include the patent-pending botanical.
The cream is fully loadedit has your antioxidants, your peptides, a gentle form of retinoic acid.
And Ive never seen the response of the buyers, the patients, the way I have with this.

Next up was this serum.
Dr. Hayre designed it to be used in the morning and then to use the cream at night.
The serum also has the patent-pending ingredient, azelaic acid, and antioxidants.
Plus, it has a beautiful finish, she says.
Azelaic acid reduces inflammation and evens skin tone while the antioxidant niacinamide boosts skin hydration while brightening.
Do that once a week and youre nice and smooth and your skin-care products penetrate better.
