JANSSEN COSMECEUTICAL has created the OPUS BELLE product line with sophisticated and innovative ingredients. OPUS BELLE and its revolutionary products perfectly focus on hormonal influences and mechanisms such as the reduction of estrogen production at the onset of menopause. The care of mature skin has predominantly been treated based on exogen or external factors; such as pre-mature skin aging due to sun damage (photo aging) for example. This effect has been achieved with the help of creams that hydrate the epidermis and provide sunscreens for sun protection. The so-called endogen (internal) factors have long been challenging to the sciences.

The genetic “programming” or factors like the decline in hormone levels, starts as early as the 30’s or 40’s and then becomes obvious around the age of 50+. During menopause, estrogen production continuously declines resulting in a decrease of sebum, sweat gland production and cell regeneration. Also, during menopause the production of collagen and elastic fibers may dramatically be reduced, which causes one to have thinner skin with less elasticity. This is manifested with an increase in fine lines and wrinkles.
