Centellian24 Lifting Peptide Cream

Based on the ingredients included, "Centellian24 - Lifting Peptide Cream" works well for moisturizing the skin. This moisturizer uses a good combo of humectants and emollients. These both types of ingredients are essentials for improving the skin hydration and keeping the skin barrier healthy. Humectants in this product (acetyl hexapeptide-8, acetyl octapeptide-3, acetyl tetrapeptide-5, hexapeptide-9 and fructooligosaccharides) help to increase the water content in the upper layer of the skin. (These ingredients do so by "capturing" water molecules from the outside air or from within the deeper layers of the skin). Emollients in this formulation (ceramide np, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7, tripeptide-1, cetyl dimethicone and dimethiconol) help to reduce the moisture loss from the skin. They also soften the skin surface and relieve the feeling of dryness and tightness.

Ingredient callouts

• We particularly like that there is a good concentration of Niacinamide (1.60% - 2.00%) in this moisturizer. Niacinamide is a well-studied multi-tasking active. It is a great ingredient to have in a moisturizer. It is stable, and can work well in almost any hydrating formulation. There is solid evidence that Niacinamide can help support skin barrier, regulate oil production and reduce acne and clogged pores. It also helps to fight photodamage and help improve the skin tone, reducing pigmentation marks.
• As a plus, this moisturizer also contains Ceramides (ceramide np 0.30% - 0.60%). Ceramides are a type of lipids that our skin produces itself. They are a building block of the skin's barrier. Ceramides used in skincare are synthetic or extracted from plants. They work well for softening the skin surface and "patch holes" in the skin's barrier.
• This moisturizer also contains Peptides (hexapeptide-2 0.25% - 0.45%, palmitoyl hexapeptide-12 0.25% - 0.50%, palmitoyl tripeptide-5 0.25% - 0.50%, tripeptide-3 0.25% - 0.50%, tripeptide-1 0.30% - 0.55%, sh-polypeptide-9 0.25% - 0.50%, sh-polypeptide-11 0.30% - 0.50%, sh-polypeptide-1 0.25% - 0.50%, sh-oligopeptide-2 0.25% - 0.50%, sh-oligopeptide-1 0.25% - 0.50%, acetyl tetrapeptide-5 0.30% - 0.50%, acetyl tetrapeptide-3 0.30% - 0.55%, acetyl tetrapeptide-2 0.25% - 0.50%, acetyl octapeptide-3 0.25% - 0.50%, acetyl decapeptide-3 0.25% - 0.50%, dipeptide-4 0.25% - 0.50%, dipeptide-2 0.25% - 0.50%, hexapeptide-9 0.25% - 0.50%, palmitoyl pentapeptide-4 0.25% - 0.50%, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7 0.30% - 0.60%, nonapeptide-1 0.25% - 0.50%, tripeptide-29 0.25% - 0.50%, tripeptide-1 0.30% - 0.55%, copper tripeptide-1 0.25% - 0.50%, acetyl hexapeptide-8 0.25% - 0.50%, acetyl tetrapeptide-11 0.25% - 0.50%, oligopeptide-34 0.25% - 0.50%, acetyl dipeptide-1 cetyl ester 0.30% - 0.55% and ascorbic acid polypeptide 0.25% - 0.50%). Peptides are a very big group of ingredients. They all consist of a different combination of aminoacids. Our skin produces Peptides naturally. Some of them work as natural antibiotics, promote wound-healing and production of collagen. The scientists are still studying how effective the topical application of Peptides is, but it is very likely that they are helpful. Peptides might be able to support skin barrier restoration and even have an anti-aging benefit. At the very least, they certainly help attract water to the skin and support the hydration in this way.
• Adenosine 0.25% - 0.50%. It is a compound that in involved in many biological processes inside the skin cells. According one high-quality clinical trial, topical Adenosine in low concentrations can somewhat help improve "deep wrinkles" - the wrinkles that appear with age in places where our faces are most dynamic (for example, on the forehead or in the corners of the eyes).
