Ingredient Spotlight: Peptides

Intro to peptides:

Peptides in skincare are short chains of amino acids. They serve as building blocks for proteins such as collagen and elastin, which are essential for youthful, healthy skin. As people as the protein decreases leading to a decrease in collagen which causes visible signs of aging such as fine lines and wrinkles and a decrease in skin elasticity. Peptides are cell communicating. There are different forms of peptides to have different results. Here are some of the best peptides.

Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 which is one of the peptides found in Matrixyl®3000, as well as Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7 are used in conjunction with each other to reduce wrinkles to have younger looking skin by the cells signaling to increase collagen. Tests show that after using Matrixyl® 3000 twice a day for 2 months consistently resulted in:

• 39.4% reduction in surface occupied by deep wrinkles

• 32.9% reduction in main wrinkle density

• 19.9% reduction in main wrinkle average depth

• 16% improvement in roughness

• 16.2% in lifting effect

• 5.5% improvement in elasticity

• 15.5% improvement in skin tone

Matrixyl® Synthe ‘6 (Palmitoyl Tripeptide-38)

 Boosts production of 6 major components of the skin including hyaluronic acid and collagen which deplete as we age to give a more even skin and less wrinkles particularly on the forehead and crow’s feet. Tests have shown using 2% of the Palmitoyl Tripeptide-38 by using 2% for 2 months daily, reporting a decrease in wrinkles by 31% up to 100%.
