Acetyl Hexapeptide-8  Active ingredient

Method:

  • Neuromodulator peptide relaxes

muscle contractions gently by interfering with the SNARE complex.

  • Similar mechanism of action as Botulinum Toxin, but more gentle and safe for daily use. Benefits:
  • Reduces wrinkle depth, volume and length.
  • Destabilizes the SNARE complex to relax muscle contractions that cause expression wrinkles.

Acetyl Hexapeptide-8

Tranexamic Acid  Active ingredient

Method:

  • Inhibits photo-induced melanocyte tyrosinase activity to prevent pigmentation after sun exposure, laser or pulsed light treatments.

Benefits:

  • Decreases hyperpigmentation
  • Prevents future pigment formation

Tranexamic Acid

Collagen Amino Acids – Active ingredient

Source:

  • Marine-derived hydrolyzed collagen
  • Complex triple helix structure responsible for its high moisture retention properties
  • Low average weights able to penetrate the stratum corneum

Benefits:

  • Improve elasticity
  • Prevent excessive dehydration
  • Reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles

Ascorbic Acid – Active ingredient

Method:

  • Active form of Vitamin C with antioxidant and photo-protective benefits.
  • Involved in wound healing, collagen formation and many other essential functions of the body.

Benefits:

  • Neutralizes free radicals to prevent cellular damage.
  • Unifies skin tone.
  • Protects against UV damage.

Glutathione – Active ingredient

Method:

  • Tri-peptide found throughout the body provides antioxidant defense and skin brightening by binding to and deactivating the tyrosinase enzyme involved in melanin production.

Benefits:

  • Antioxidant protection from free radicals.
  • Brightens skin tone by reducing melanin production.
  • Increases efficacy of Vitamin C in the body

Glutathione – Scientific Studies

  • Whitening:

Growth Factors – for a Healthy Hair & Scalp

Epidermal growth factor (Egf): Enhances cellular turnover to produce more collagen for thicker scalp.

Fibroblast growth factor-9 (Fgf9): Targets and renews hair follicles.

Hepatocyte growth factor (Hgf): Increases fibroblast activity to upregulate collagen production, DNA synthesis in hair bulb keratinocytes, and promotes keratinocyte migration.

Interleukin growth factor-1 (lgf-1): Follicular papilla stimulation for rapid hair growth.

Vascular endothelial growth factor (Vegf): Promotes angiogenesis and blood circulation.

Biotin – Active ingredient

Method:

  • Essential nutrient for protein synthesis and keratin production.
  • All participants in 18 studies demonstrated improvement in hair health. *

Benefits:

  • Supports production of hair keratin associated proteins for stronger, healthier hair.

Copper Peptide – Active ingredient

Method:

  • Activates the removal of damaged skin cells and repairs scalp tissue.
  • Accelerates hair growth by restoring a healthy growth cycle.

Benefits:

  • Enhances levels of Collagen types I and III, and Elastin in the extracellular matrix of the skin and scalp.
  • Promotes increased scalp thickness and health.

Vitamin K – Active ingredient

Method:

  • Promotes wound healing, has anti inflammatory and antioxidant properties.
  • It’s role in blood clotting may also make it beneficial for helping to minimize dark undereye circles.

Benefits:

  • Aids in the repair of damaged blood vessels to reduce under eye dark circles.
  • Promotes formation of collagen.

Arnica Montana Extract – Active ingredient

Method:

  • Anti-inflammatory properties disperse trapped fluids.
  • Stimulates the activity of white blood cells to relieve congestion.

Benefits:

  • Reduces the appearance of dark circles.
  • Calms under eye puffiness.

Caffeine Liposomes – Active ingredient

Method:

  • Increases microcirculation.
  • Antioxidant properties protect the skin from extrinsic aging.
  • Encapsulated in liposome drug delivery technology (Fig. 1).

Benefits:

  • Enhances under eye microcirculation to avoid pooling.
  • Reduces puffiness.

Acetyl Tetrapeptide-3 – Active ingredient

Method:

  • Promotes dermal papilla proteins to increase hair follicle size, decreases inflammatory cytokines.
  • Reduces 5-alpha-reductase enzyme involved in hormone-related hair loss.

Benefits:

  • Increases thickness and length of hair.
  • Decreases scalp inflammation.
  • Reduces effects of hormone-related hair loss and other types of alopecia.
  • Stimulates a healthy hair growth cycle.

Copper Peptide

  • In clinical studies, Copper Peptide was injected into shaved mice. The accelerated hair growth was seen in just 12 days.
