| Key Ingredients:
* Matrixyl 3000 - This antioxidant is made by combining two peptides, palmitoyl oligopeptide and palmitoyl tetrapepide-7. It outperforms Vitamin C (and unlike some of the Cs, it doesn’t irritate) by stimulating the matrix molecules – collagens 1,3, 4 and fibronectin to reduce the appearance of wrinkles. According to clinical trials, matrixyl 3000 led to a 33% decrease in wrinkle density, a 23% decrease in the volume of wrinkles and a 20% decrease in the depth of wrinkles.
* Argireline - The peptide is derived from natural proteins, and claims to actually relax facial muscles to the point of paralysis. The theory guiding both products is that relaxed facial muscles will minimize current wrinkles caused by repetitive muscle contractions, as well as prevent new wrinkles. Muscle contractions are guided by a chemical reaction called the “SNAP receptor complex,” and Argireline is specifically designed to interfere with this reaction.
* Hyaluronic Acid SLMW - High molecular weight hyaluronic acid is enzimatically cut up to produce a super low molecular weight (SLMW) hyaluronic acid of less than 50,000 daltons. This very low molecular weight reduces its viscosity in water, but improves its ability to penetrate the upper layers of the skin.
* Hyaluronic Acid - One of the most important biological attributes of Hyaluronic Acid is its capacity to hold 1000 times its weight in water, more than any other natural substance. Hydrating your skin with Hyaluronic Acid can create excellent anti-wrinkle effects and promote growth of new skin cells. |
