What is it? Our Anti Aging Peptide is formulated with a potent blend of Peptides, Gluconolactone, Carnosine, and hydrating Hyaluronic Acid.
What does it do? These ingreidents work in perfect harmony to reduce wrinkle depth, smooth skin and reduce the signs of fatigue, ultimately leaving you with a more revitalized and balanced complexion.
- Argireline lessens the appearance of dynamic wrinkles.
- Matrixyl boosts collagen production, firming skin and diminishing fine lines.
- Gluconolactone gently lifts dead skin cells from the surface, leaving the skin smooth and even.
- Hyaluronic acid, Carnosine and skin-friendly amino acids provide hydration and smoothing properties.
The Science bit: Argireline prevents muscle movement that can lead to wrinkle formation resulting in the reduction of fine lines. Clinically it has been shown to be effective in reducing wrinkles, with efficacies up to 48% upon 4 weeks of twice daily treatment. (i)
Matrixyl enhances skin restoration and stimulating the repair process. Clincially it has been shown to make measurable reduction in the lines, depth, and volume of wrinkles compared to the baseline after 14 days of product use. (ii)
Gluconolactone is a polyhydroxy acid (PHA) which gently lifts dead skin cells from the surface, leaving the skin smooth and even. Over time, it offers anti-aging benefits such as increased skin thickness and reduced wrinkles, although slightly less than the more established AHAs, but with less chance of irritation. (iii)
Carnosine in skincare helps to protect against aging by preventing glycation, which maintains skin elasticity and smoothness. (iv)
Hyaluronic acid hydrates and plumps the skin by attracting and retaining moisture. Topical hyaluronic acid can increase skin hydration by 55%. (v)
The results bit: This is a fantastic age-supporting peptide serum that does a little bit of everything for your skin. Used twice daily for 2-4 weeks, expect a gradual fading of wrinkle intenisty and a smoothing of skin.
