WISH
Premium anti-age 50+ for mature skin in peri-menopause and menopause. DNA peptides, phytoestrogens, biomimetic collagen, grape extract, and retinol. A luxury line for premium spa clients.
CHRISTINA - It just works
For: mature skin 50+ in peri-menopause and menopause, premium spa clients, women seeking luxurious anti-age care. Problem: decreased estradiol = loss of firmness, skin density, deep wrinkles, dry skin, loss of facial/neck/Y-Area (décolletage) contours. Distinction: DNA peptides + phytoestrogens + biomimetic collagen + retinol in one system. Ideal salon: premium spa, anti-age cosmetology salon, luxury salon serving 50+ clientele.
WISH Line Philosophy
WISH is Christina's flagship premium anti-age line - dedicated to mature skin during peri-menopause and menopause. This is a period when the decline in estradiol drastically changes skin structure: a 30% loss of collagen in the first 5 years after menopause, thinning of the epidermis, dry skin, and the appearance of deep wrinkles.
Central idea: phytoestrogens + DNA peptides = local hormonal support. WISH does not replace hormone therapy, but supports local skin with estrogen-like active ingredients (soy isoflavones, red clover extract) and DNA peptides stimulating collagen synthesis.
Second pillar: biomimetic collagen + grape extract. WISH uses biomimetic collagen (structurally similar to natural human collagen) plus resveratrol from grapes (antioxidant + telomere length). Luxurious formulas in elegant packaging - for clients who appreciate premium quality.
DNA Peptides
Stimulation of collagen synthesis at the cellular level - a key active for 50+ skin.
Phytoestrogens
Soy isoflavones, red clover - local skin support during estradiol decline.
Biomimetic Collagen
Structurally identical to human collagen - better absorption and support for the matrix.
Retinol + Resveratrol
Classic anti-age actives in high concentrations - mature skin reconstruction.
Who is the WISH line for
- Women 50+ in peri-menopause and menopause.
- Mature skin with deep mimic and structural wrinkles.
- Skin with loss of firmness and density - sagging facial contours, jowls, double chin.
- Y-Area skin (décolletage + neck + intercostal area) - the fastest-aging area.
- Clients seeking luxurious care - packaging, formula, experience.

Key Ingredients and Technologies
WISH combines DNA peptides, phytoestrogens, biomimetic collagen, retinol, and grape extract in high concentrations.
Phytoestrogens (soy isoflavones + red clover)
Plant compounds with estrogen-like effects - support for skin during menopause. NOT a substitute for HRT - local effect on the skin, safe.
Biomimetic Collagen
Structure identical to natural human collagen - better absorption and integration with the skin matrix. Ingredient of microemulsion (step 4) and night creams.
Resveratrol (grape extract)
Antioxidant + support for telomere length (in vitro studies). Classic skin longevity active. Ingredient of invigorating mask (step 5).
Retinol (vitamin A)
Gold standard anti-age - epidermis reconstruction, wrinkle reduction, melanocyte regulation. WISH contains retinol in a medium dose (safe for mature skin), supplemented with niacinamide (soothes irritation).
Melatonin (night cream)
Night antioxidant + support for DNA regeneration during sleep. Ingredient of melatonin + peptides + retinol serum (retail).
Microemulsion (transport technology)
Nano-platform transporting active ingredients deep into the skin - 2-3x deeper absorption than classic emulsions. Step 4 of the protocol - complexion repairing.
SPF 12 + Anti-pigmentation
Day cream with SPF 12 + brightening actives - prevention of post-menopausal spots. Step 8 + retail Day Cream.
Professional Treatment Protocol
WISH Premium Anti-Age Protocol - 8-step salon treatment, 90-120 minutes. For premium spa clients - the treatment should be a ritual of luxury, not a procedure. Cycle: 1x a week for 6 weeks (intensive anti-age), then 1x a month (maintenance).
- STEP 1 — Micelle Microemulsion Toner Micellar microemulsion toner - combines cleansing with skin preparation for active ingredients. For mature skin - does not require separate cleansing milk. Application: 3 min · cosmetic pads
- STEP 2 — Age Defying Exfoliator Anti-age exfoliant with acids and plant extracts - gentle exfoliation + stimulation of collagen synthesis. Time: 5-10 min · rinse with warm water
- STEP 3 — Rejuvenating Serum Rejuvenating serum with DNA peptides - key stage, apply in strips with rolling massage. Application: 5 min · entire face + neck + décolletage
- STEP 4 — Complexion Repairing Microemulsion Nano-platform microemulsion - deep absorption of active ingredients. Droplet application, light massage. Application: 3 min · thin layer
- STEP 5 — Invigorating Mask Invigorating mask with resveratrol - intensive support + light lifting effect. Time: 15-20 min · rinse with lukewarm water
- STEP 6 — Reviving Mask Nourishing mask (cream consistency) - final regeneration, lipids + peptides. Can be left on overnight for home-spa clients. Time: 15-20 min · massage in remaining product
- STEP 7 — Eye and Neck Lifting Serum Lifting serum for eyes and neck - critical Y-Area (décolletage + neck + intercostal area). Fastest-aging area. Application: 5 min · eyes + neck + décolletage
- STEP 8 — Daydream Cream SPF 12 Day cream with SPF 12 + anti-pigmentation. Clients leave the salon with ready daily protection. Application: 3 min · entire face
Clinical tip: The Y-Area (décolletage + neck + intercostal area) requires 2-3x more intensive care than the face. The skin there has fewer sebaceous glands and dries out first. Step 7 (Eye and Neck Lifting Serum) is mandatory for the entire Y-Area during the treatment. The client MUST receive Eye and Neck Lifting Serum + Day Cream + Absolute Confidence as a minimum retail. Optimal frequency: 1x a week for 6 weeks (intensive), then 1x a month. Ideal season: autumn-spring (less UV exposure - WISH SPF 12 is sufficient only outside of summer).

Most frequently asked questions by cosmetologists
Is WISH for every woman 50+?
WISH is for women 50+ looking for premium anti-age. Alternative: for reactive skin with capillaries - UNSTRESS + WISH (combined), for mature acne-prone skin - BIO PHYTO + WISH selectively, for very sensitive mature skin - start with UNSTRESS, then WISH after 3-6 months.
Are phytoestrogens in WISH a substitute for hormone therapy?
NO. Phytoestrogens act locally on the skin (compounds with similar action to estradiol in skin cell receptors). They are not significantly absorbed into the body. They do not replace HRT/Hormone Replacement Therapy. Women on HRT can safely use WISH.
Does WISH contain retinol? Is it safe?
Yes, WISH contains retinol in a medium dose (Rejuvenating Serum + Harmonizing Night Cream). Safe for mature skin with gradual introduction (2x/week -> 5x/week after 4-6 weeks). Contraindications: pregnancy, breastfeeding, oral isotretinoin therapy.
How long is the intensive anti-age phase?
Intensive phase: 6 treatments every 7 days (6 weeks). First effects: after 2-3 treatments (noticeable firmness, even tone). Full effects: 8-12 weeks (collagen synthesis). Maintenance: 1x a month + daily retail home care.
What is the Y-Area and why is it important?
Y-Area = décolletage + neck + décolleté between breasts (Y-shape). The skin there has fewer sebaceous glands, is thinner, has fewer fibroblasts - it ages 3x faster than the face. WISH dedicates a separate product (Eye and Neck Lifting Serum) for this area. Daily application is key.
Does WISH support clients after surgical facelift?
Yes, in the maintenance period (6+ months after the procedure). Earlier, I recommend UNSTRESS or LINE REPAIR (barrier regeneration). After 6 months, WISH supports the durability of the facelift effect - it stimulates collagen production, mitigating the drop in estradiol.
What is the difference between WISH and NUANCE/MUSE?
NUANCE: anti-age 35-50 (peptides + collagen + glycolic peel). MUSE: anti-age 45+ (peptides + rose + red mask). WISH: premium anti-age 50+ with phytoestrogens and retinol. NUANCE and MUSE should be used in rotation in care, WISH as a dedicated menopausal line.
Contraindications
- Pregnancy and breastfeeding - absolute contraindication (retinol, phytoestrogens).
- Active herpes simplex - in the treatment area.
- Hyperreactive skin in active phase - choose UNSTRESS before WISH.

- Active oral isotretinoin therapy - 6-12 months discontinuation before WISH.
- Recently performed energy treatments (laser, RF, IPL) - minimum 14 days break before WISH peel.
- Recently performed surgical facelift - 6 months discontinuation before WISH (LINE REPAIR/UNSTRESS can be used).
- Hormonally responsive cancers (breast cancer with estrogen receptors) - CONSULT with oncologist before phytoestrogens.
- Allergies to soy, clover plant extracts, bioactive peptides - 48-hour test recommended.
- Skin with active melasma hyperpigmentation in exacerbation phase - consult with dermatologist before retinol.
