Product summary

"Kate Somerville - KX Concentrate Bio-Mimicking Peptides Serum" is effective for: Anti-inflammatory, Moisturizing and Anti-aging

Ingredient callouts

  • Peptides (sh-polypeptide-9 0.50% - 0.75%, sh-polypeptide-11 0.50% - 0.70%, sh-polypeptide-1 0.70% - 1.00%, sh-oligopeptide-2 0.60% - 0.85% and sh-oligopeptide-1 0.55% - 0.80%). There are many different kind of Peptides and they are naturally present in our skin. They all are a combination of aminoacids. Some of them work as natural antibiotics, promote wound-healing and production of collagen. The science is still not settled on how effective Peptides are in skincare, but it is very likely that they have a benefit. They might help restore the skin barrier and fight the signs of aging. At the very least, Peptides work as humectants: they attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve its hydration.
  • Adenosine 0.25% - 0.45%. It is a chemical present inside our skin cells. A clinical trial confirmed that topical application of Adenosine in a low concentration can reduce dynamic wrinkles (these are the wrinkles that appear with age in a places where our mimic is the most active, for example, in the corners of the eyes or on the forehead).
  • Humectants (zinc pca 0.45% - 0.70%, sodium hyaluronate 1.10% - 1.40%, panthenol 0.45% - 0.70% and glycerin 3.90% - 4.70%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.
