RAHN-Skin-in-cosRAHN will be launching REFORCYL®-AION at in-cosmetics Global 2020, Barcelona. REFORCYL®-AION rejuvenates and purifies the skin by activating the key parameters of a healthy autophagy process: Golgi vesicle formation, mitochondrial fitness and LC3 gene upregulation.

Active Produced from Pumpkin Seed Oil


Pumpkins from Styria, a region in Austria renowned for its healthy pumpkin seed oil, are used to produce REFORCYL®-AION. It is carbon-neutral, conforms to the principles of a circular economy and provides for a holistic upcycling concept for skin, soul and our planet.

Autophagy is a natural cellular cleaning program. Degradation products are enveloped by vesicles, enzymatically upcycled and then reused. Impaired autophagy weakens the skin barrier and promotes skin “garb-aging”.

REFORCYL®-AION triggers vesicle formation by disassembly of the Golgi apparatus, the cellular parcel service. Furthermore, it maintains mitochondrial health and promotes their fusion to form an energy-rich network. It also upregulates the LC3 gene that is responsible for the fusion with lysosome, the enzymatic waste degradation system.

Result of In-vitro Clinical Studies


Clinical studies have shown that activating this form of cellular spring-cleaning markedly improves skin tone and leads to smooth, redensified skin.

  • Induces autophagy by upregulation of LC3A
  • “Spring cleans” to produce healthy cells and strengthens mitochondria under stressed conditions
  • Provides an upcycled look to aging skin
