An ultra-hydrating serum that sinks effortlessly and rapidly into skin, providing the very best in anti-ageing technology. As the lightweight serum is massaged into the skin, the peptide complex starts its multi-faceted approach to rejuvenating the skin.
Collagen and elastin production is boosted, fine lines and wrinkles are smoothed and the skin’s natural stores of hyaluronic acid are elevated. Skin is left soft-to-touch, deeply hydrated and ultimately more youthful-looking.
Matrixyl™ 3000 is an active ingredient that contains matrikines - peptide molecules that facilitate cutaneous restructuring and repair by activating the genes involved in the process of intercellular matrix renewal and cell proliferation. Through this activity, the matrikines effectively restructure and smooth the surface and deeper layers of the skin, which results in a drastic reduction of the depth, density and surface area of wrinkles.
The second active ingredient is Heptapeptide-8. The dermal-epidermal junction is where the epidermis meets the dermal layer of the skin. Its function is to resist mechanical forces that may damage the skin and its permeability regulates water, oxygen, nutrient exchanges and waste removal. As we age this junction flattens and as a result the skin has a decreased resistance to structural changes and less dermal-epidermal exchanges. Communication between these two layers is essential for skin homeostasis.
Heptapeptide is one of the newest anti-aging ingredients that are being incorporated into skin care. It is known to mimic the action of laminin-5, an important molecule that is present in the dermal-epidermal junction and is responsible for improving its function. Studies have indicated that laminin-5 is necessary for the health and appearance of the skin and is directly involved with skin ageing. Clinical studies by the ingredient manufacturer found that using Heptapeptide over a 21-day period helps tonify the skin, improves its smoothness and helps regenerate and renew the skin on a cellular level.
