Without harmful chemicals or expensive invasive procedures, skin peptides can significantly regenerate your skin, reducing fine lines, wrinkles, and other signs of aging with no irritation. Skin Peptides are amino acid proteins that are linked together in a chain to form a specific grouping. Skin Peptides function as messengers in the skin, telling the dermis to to increase collagen fiber production. Regular use of skin peptides results in firmer, thicker skin and lessens wrinkling and photo damage.
Skin Peptides can be formulated using differing chain lengths that result in a variety of benefits for your skin. One peptide chain in particular, Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-3 (Matrixyl), has been shown to decrease skin roughness by 13%, reduce wrinkle volume by 36%, and decrease wrinkle depth by 27% after four months of twice daily applications on the face and neck. Marine Oligopeptides can be as short as 2 to 30 amino acids in length and are functional for copper transport increasing moisture retention. Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 reduces the depth of wrinkles by relaxing skin tissue. Simply put, it works in much the same way as the "infamous" injection, (and without all the potential side effects), by safely blocking the transmitter from the muscle to the skin, keeping the skin relaxed and smooth. Testing has shown that it reduces the severity of wrinkles around the eyes, up to 17% faster after 15 days of treatment and up to 27% after 30 days of treatment.
