MATRIXYL 3000 60%+ ARGIRELINE 25%+ HYALURONIC ACID 100% + VITAMIN C 10% SERUM 70ml (2x35ml)
Intense Anti-Ageing Serum, best you have ever used, packed with most potent active ingredients and best value for money
MATRIXYL 3000 60%: Matrixyl 3000 is made from two peptides
palmitoyl-tripeptide and palmitoyl-oligopeptide. They are supposed work
synergistically to mimic the appearance of this broken down collagen, causing
skin to react by producing more collagen, as well as elastin. It is known to be
one of the most effective anti-ageing ingredients. Matrixyl 3000 stimulates the
skin to produce more collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid, all of which are
important elements in minimising signs of aging. In fact, it has been shown in
clinical studies to almost double the collagen in skin, helping to fill in
small wrinkles. It is especially effective on areas of the face more prone to
wrinkles, such as on forehead and around lips. Along with boosting the
elasticity of skin, it also improves skin tone.
ARGIRELINE 25%: Acetyl hexapeptide-3 is marketed as Argireline by
the Barcelona-based research laboratory Lipotec. Argireline is a peptide which
is a fragment of SNAP-25, a substrate of Botulinum toxin (Botox). It prevents
the formation of expression wrinkles by somehow inhibiting muscle movement. For
this reason, it is sometimes called Botox in a jar. Argireline decreases the
visible effects of aging by reducing the deep wrinkles and lines that occur
around the forehead and eyes. The first peptide to reduce expression lines, an
alternative to topical botox injections, it works the same as botulinum toxin
but safer and smoother. This anti-wrinkle peptide, the first of its generation,
diminishes wrinkles and expression lines.
HYALURONIC ACID 100%: Hyaluronic acid is used as a lip filler in
plastic surgery, it prevents the effects of aging. In fact, hyaluronic acid is
known as a "fountain of youth."
Hyaluronic acid, also known as HA, is a
natural compound found in skin that has many important functions, including
holding in moisture, providing cushioning, aiding in tissue repair, holding
together the skin structural components collagen and elastin, and helping
create a protective barrier against microorganisms. Our skin starts losing
hyaluronic acid as early as age 18, but wrinkles and other skin damage from
hyaluronic acid loss don't generally show up until the late 30s or early 40s.
Hyaluronic acid is used in fillers and
injected into the deep layers of skin to replace missing HA in the dermis,
temporarily restoring plumpness and filling in wrinkles and creases. This
restores a youthful appearance to the face, neck, chest or other areas injected
with HA fillers. Some people use derma rollers and hyaluronic acid to achieve
similar results to fillers.
When hyaluronic acid is used in skin
care everyday it helps to achieve similar results to fillers and derma rollers
used every now and then.
VITAMIN C 10%: One of the most well researched and beneficial
vitamins you can apply topically is vitamin C. It has been shown to increase
collagen production including dermal collagen, which is significant for wrinkle
reduction, reduces the appearance of skin discolorations, strengthens skin's
barrier response, enhances skin's repair process, reduces inflammation, and
helps skin better withstand exposure to sunlight. Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate SAP
is the stabilised version of L-Ascorbic Acid, this form of Vitamin C will not
degrade in water, due to light or oxygen.
Other ingredients: purified water, natural scents, phenoxyethanol.
