KEY ACTIVES

sh Oligopeptide-1 (EGF) –  Skin identical Epidermal Growth Factor

Sophisticated Biomimetic Peptide, that aids to accelerate the growth of epidermal cells

Essential for cell proliferation, DNA repair & protein stimulus  

Fundamental aspect of healthy skin regeneration

Helps to reduce wrinkles, stimulate collagen & improves elasticity

Supports wound healing

Prevents scar tissue formation, maintaining skin health

Helps to reverse existing scarring promoting a youthful appearance

Palmitoyl Oligopeptide & Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7 - Liposomal delivery mechanism         

These peptides in a liposome emulsion act in synergy to repair the cutaneous damages of age. By activating the skin’s natural production of collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid, the peptides work to reduce wrinkles and other signs of aging

Collagen, made up of long strands of amino acids, is the main building block of skin & gives skin its plump and youthful appearance. 

As we age, collagen is depleted, giving way to aged, wrinkled looking skin. When the long strands of amino acids in collagen are broken down they create small chains commonly referred to as peptides. The presence of these peptides signal to the skin that it has lost collagen and the production of more is necessary. 

The peptides Palmitoyl Oligopeptide and Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7 work to mimic the appearance of this broken down collagen, causing your skin to react by producing more collagen, as well as elastin (responsible for the skin’s elasticity, and hyaluronic acid (which plumps up the skin and gives it that healthy, full look)

Tetrapeptide 30  – Biomimetic (skin identical) Amino acid sequence Proline –Lysine – Glutamic Acid – Lysine

Active on all kinds of skin types 

Helps to visibly diminish hyperchromatic spots

Brightens skin and improves the evenness of skin tone 

Aids in reducing acne lesions 

Helps to inhibit the production of melasma on ethnic skin

Promotes an anti-inflammatory effect in the skin

Safely inhibits the pigmentation process without toxicity or rebound effect

SNAP 8 TM - Acetyl Octapeptide-3: Is an amino-peptide that blocks transmitter signals from facial muscles to the skin (restricts facial movement) promoting relaxed and smooth skin. Used in conjunction with muscle relaxant injections, this unique product will provide longevity to the procedure for approximately 4-6 weeks

Low Molecular Weight Marine Collagen – Collagen Oligopeptides (high content of essential amino acids)

Endowed with high capacity to interact with skin

Similar amino acid content to the collagen contained in skin

These are our skins fundamental building blocks for structural support (collagen, elastin) inhibiting wrinkle formation & maintaining youthful volume

Contributes to production of Collagen type 1: the major protein in the dermis. It is arranged in fibres creating strength and resistance.

Stimulates Collagen type III: commonly found alongside type I and plays an important role during skin repair

Stimulates Hyaluronic Acid Activation - 25% increase in 72 hours

L22 TM Biomimetic Lipid Composition: Jojoba Oil/Macadamia Seed Oil Esters, Squalene, Phytosteryl Macadamiate, Phytosterols, Tocopherol 

Ratio consistent with lipid profile of healthy 22-year-old skin 

Studies concluded that positive effects on skin hydration, barrier repair, lipid peroxidation induced by aged & sun damaged skins were corrective both short & long term

Intense improvements to skin elasticity & firmness 

Long term correction is induced with ingredients that occur naturally in the skin providing calibration & optimal function

The skin learns to rehydrate itself again - Promoting less dependence on extra products

Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate - Stable, oil soluble form of vitamin C, antioxidant, UV protection, skin lightening, MMP Inhibition, DNA protection, collagen synthesis and protection

Superior absorption qualities

Lightening effect of the skin and may help reduce the appearance of pigmentation

It protects against DNA cell damage induced by UV exposure

It prevents lipid peroxidation, acting as an anti-oxidant

As an antioxidant it protects the skin against aging

It promotes collagen synthesis and collagen protection

Hyaluronic Acid - Ultra Low Weight

Trials indicate a reduction in immune-derived inflammation, improving scaling, erythema & pruritus. Effective for Atopic & Seborrheic Dermatitis Rx

Biological activity triggers built-in immune defence mechanisms whilst inducing anti-bacterial responses effectively healing skins epithelium

Penetrates effectively to rebuild + plump deeper layers firming the skins surface

Replenishes the hydration factors diminished with ageing + sun damage to mimic youthful levels

Hyaluronic Acid 

Natural Moisturising Factor that attracts + binds up to 1000 X its own weight in moisture 

Plumps surface tissue to alleviate dry, thinning skin

Assists wound healing + repairs barrier function

Inhibits Trans Epidermal Water Loss– essential for atopic skins 

Na PCA (Sodium Salt of Pyroglutamic acid) – Natural moisturizing factor, helping skin to retain hydration levels. It is an amino acid derivative & a metabolite in the Glutathione cycle

CoQ10 - Plays an essential role in our biological machinery, producing biological energy (ATP) inside the cells, aiding repair & keeping cells healthy. Also a potent antioxidant, it neutralises harmful free radicals, preventing premature ageing 

Resveratrol – A potent phytoalexin antioxidant found in red grapes & Knot Weed. Studies indicate protective effects against UV radiation DNA damage, the cascade of oxidative stress & related signaling leading to mutation & irreparable damages to skin cells. Anti-inflammatory, Anti-bacterial, Natural Phytoestrogen, Anti-acne

L-Carnitine - Amino Acid - Increases skin cell turnover & transports fatty acids into the mitochondria assisting energy production. Aids moisture levels & has an exfoliating effect.
