Peptides, Amino Acids and Proteins - Skincare Benefits
The more Peptides the better!
If you are searching for the "one and only" skincare ingredient you need to fight wrinkles, you have to scan the packaging for the word “peptides.” Peptides are short chains of amino acids that help your skin to produce the anti-wrinkle protein known as Collagen.
Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4
Palmitoyl pentapeptide-4 is an outstanding and a very powerful Peptide. The anti-aging and skin rejuvenating result shown by clinical tests is truly remarkable. It has a great impact on the visual signs of aging, including fine lines and wrinkles. Matrixyl (Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4) stimulates the lower layer of the skin producing collagen and accelerates healing, renewing process. This incredible ingredient is one of the best anti aging Peptides.

Glycoproteins
Glycoproteins which are integral to maintaining healthy youthful skin. Derived from algae, Glycoproteins are a combination of mainly intracellular proteins, peptides and amino acids, and are known for its oxygenating, rejuvenating and revitalizing properties. Its revitalizing capacity strengthens the skin's natural ability to protect itself against damaging environmental influences. In in-vitro studies glycoproteins have been shown to boost oxygen content, increase the cellular respiration capacity, and increase the energy level of skin cells. Glycoproteins also have moisturizing properties due to their content of water-binding polysaccharides (sugars). Glycoproteins promote rejuvenation, youthful and healthier looking skin.

Hydrolyzed Milk Protein
Hydrolyzed Casein - Hydrolyzed Milk Protein is one of the most nutrient rich proteins. It is considered the highest quality protein source, which has complete amino acids that needed for proper skin care. Hydrolyzed milk protein can repair, restructure and heal skin. It moisturizes, nourishes the skin; protects against drying; has restorative properties.

Peptide Argireline
Acetyl Hexapeptide-3 (Argireline) – is the peptide derived from natural proteins, the peptide complex composed of the amino acids aspartic acid, glutamic acid, glutamine, and methionine. Like all peptides it has water-binding properties and skin-restoring ability, but Argireline is the first peptide that reduces expression lines by relaxing facial muscles! Argireline is a weaker version of Botox injection being that both serums derived from the same ingredients. Regular application of Argireline over period of time reduces the formation of wrinkles.

Palmitoyl Oligopeptide
Palmitoyl Oligopeptide is a blend of several fatty and amino acids. This peptide is also known as palmitoyl hexapeptide-12 and Pal-GHK. It is the best skin-restorative, skin-reviving peptide that has a positive effect on skin health by stimulating collagen, glucosaminoglycan and elastin production and helping skin cells remain more stable. Palmitoyl Oligopeptide can smooth wrinkles and encourage rapid cell turnover to make skin look younger. It has the same results as Retinol, but with no side effects.
Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7
Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7 is known as a type of peptide that reduces skin inflammation and skin damage. It stimulates the regeneration of collagen fibers in the dermis. It helps to increase the amount of hyaluronic acid in the skin, which can help tighten skin by attracting moisture to the epidermis. According to FDA reports, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7 contains a chain of four essential amino acids that provide anti-aging effects: glycine, glutamine, proline, arginine sequence. This peptide reduces inflammation, increases healing, reduces problems with skin roughness, fine lines, thin skin and wrinkles, induces natural collagen production for skin healing and rejuvenation, may help treat rosacea, and reduce the appearance of uneven skin tones.
Hydrolyzed Soy Protein, Soy Peptide
Hydrolyzed Soy Protein is protein that have been broken down into smaller chains of amino acids by reaction with water. Soy Amino Acids result when soy protein is completely hydrolyzed. When used in skin care products it increases the ability of the skin to hold moisture and provides a smoothing effect for minimizing roughness and wrinkles. Soy is an awesome source of Isoflavones. The role of isoflavones is widely appreciated and is currently the subject of intense research. Isoflavones appear to protect the skin against hormone-related aging, such as in menopause. And isoflavones can have estrogenic activity, for instance if during menopause the body's natural level of estrogen drops, isoflavones can compensate by binding to the same receptor sites. As we age, our hormone levels drop and our skin, the biggest organ, shows the results. Hydrolyzed Soy Protein helps bring back a youthful radiance in skin care.
Valine Amino Acid
Valine is an amino acid with significant effects in skin care. Valine is an essential amino acid, which means that it cannot be manufactured in the body and must be obtained through dietary sources. Amino acids are involved in the production of collagen and elastin, which keep skin elastic and firm. So, amino acids aren’t optional. Your skin needs them for its health and radiant look. A German scientist named Emil Fischer discovered Valine in 1901. It is known as a branched-chain amino acid (BCAA). It is an excellent water-binding agent and a wonderful antioxidant. Valine provides hydration, cellular repair and strength.
Threonine
Threonine is an essential amino acid. One of its primary and very important functions is collagen and elastin production. It assists in creating glycine and serine, two other amino acids that are necessary for the production of collagen and elastin. Alpha amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. So, amino acids aren’t optional. Your skin needs them for its health and radiant look. Threonine is a great moisturizing agent, it maintains skin elasticity, it promotes cells metabolism.
