Product Summary
"Dr. Diamond - INSTAFACIAL PLASMA BIOACTIVE GROWTH FACTOR SERUM" is effective for: Moisturizing
This product could be helpful for: Anti-aging, but its actives are not the most effective or are not well-studied.
Ingredient callouts
- Peptides (copper tripeptide-1 0.50% - 1.15%, acetyl hexapeptide-8 1.00% - 1.50%, sh-oligopeptide-2 1.40% - 2.10%, sh-oligopeptide-1 1.70% - 2.50%, n-prolyl palmitoyl tripeptide-56 acetate 2.00% - 3.10% and nicotiana benthamiana hexapeptide-40 sh-oligopeptide-1 2.70% - 4.10%). 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 theynare 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.
- Humectants (sodium hyaluronate 0.20% - 0.80%, acetyl hexapeptide-8 1.00% - 1.50% and glycerin 4.00% - 6.00%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.
Works for
Moisturizing
This product contains good ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. These ingredients are called "humectants": glycerin, sodium hyaluronate.
When humectants are on the surface of the skin, they “pull in” the moisture from the outside environment, or from within deeper layers of the skin. If the air is dry, humectants can speed up the moisture loss from the skin. This is why it is a good idea to use another product on top of this one to help "seal in" the moisture (look for ingredients like dimethicone, squalane, oils and butters).
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: acetyl hexapeptide-8, copper tripeptide-1, n-prolyl palmitoyl tripeptide-56 acetate, nicotiana benthamiana hexapeptide-40 sh-oligopeptide-1, sh-oligopeptide-1, sh-oligopeptide-2
One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Attracts water into the upper layer of the skin

A type of peptide. Peptides are excellent moisturizers and might be able support collagen production reducing fine lines and wrinkles
A naturally occurring peptide. One of the most studied peptides in dermatology. It is sometimes abbreviated GHK-Cu. Belongs to the class of carrier peptides. It stimulates both synthesis and breakdown of collagen in skin. It is released in skin wounds and inflammation to support healing. It accelerates wound-healing of the skin and can stimulate hair growth. There are preliminary studies that confirm that copper tripeptide can help support collagen production reducing fine lines and wrinkles and decrease inflammation in skin.
One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Naturally present in skin. It attracts water to the upper layer of the skin working as a humectant
A type of peptide. Peptides are excellent moisturizers and might be able support collagen production reducing fine lines and wrinkles
Used to create a nice product texture and help delivery of other ingredients. Might be somewhat helpful in attracting water to the upper layer of the skin
Helps preserve products and creates a nice product texture
Used to preserve products, dissolve other ingredients and create a nice product texture
Used mostly for creating emulsions - helping oil and water mix together. Helps soften the upper layer of the skin
Anti-aging
This product contains acetyl hexapeptide-8, copper tripeptide-1, n-prolyl palmitoyl tripeptide-56 acetate, nicotiana benthamiana hexapeptide-40 sh-oligopeptide-1, sh-oligopeptide-1, sh-oligopeptide-2. These ingredients might be able to help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness, but there is not enough evidence that it actually works.
