Product summary

Based on the ingredients included, "MEDI-PEEL - Bor-Tox Peptide Wrinkle Stick" works well for moisturizing the skin. To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. MEDI-PEEL - Bor-Tox Peptide Wrinkle Stick ticks this box. Humectants in this product (acetyl hexapeptide-8, hexapeptide-9, glycerin, hydrolyzed collagen and sodium hyaluronate) 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 (tripeptide-1, hydrolyzed collagen, beeswax, butyrospermum parkii butter and helianthus annuus seed oil) 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 like that this moisturizer contains peptides (palmitoyl pentapeptide-4 0.05% - 0.30%, hexapeptide-9 0.10% - 0.30%, acetyl hexapeptide-8 0.05% - 0.30%, copper tripeptide-1 0.10% - 0.30%, tripeptide-1 0.15% - 0.55% and palmitoyl tripeptide-5 0.10% - 0.35%). 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. Peptides 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.

This product contains ingredients that could be beneficial, but their concentrations are too low in this formulation: allantoin, centella asiatica extract, camellia sinensis seed oil, agran oil, jojoba oil, caprylic/capric triglyceride and vitamin e

Moisturizing

What does the product description say?

This product can help improve hydration of the skin with the two types of ingredients.

The first type is called “humectants”:
these ingredients help attract water. 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. The following ingredients in this product do the job: glycerin, hydrolyzed collagen.

This product also contains ingredients called “occlusives”. They help reduce the speed with which our skin loses moisture to the outside environment. These ingredients also help soften the upper layer of the skin, so it feels less tight and nicer to the touch. The following ingredients in this product do the job: beeswax, butyrospermum parkii butter.

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, hexapeptide-9, palmitoyl pentapeptide-4, palmitoyl tripeptide-5, tripeptide-1

sodium hyaluronate 0.05% - 0.3%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Attracts water into the upper layer of the skin

copper tripeptide-1 0.1% - 0.3%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

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.

hydrolyzed collagen 0.15% - 0.6%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

A typically plant-derived compound that is supposed mimic human collagen. Cannot penetrate the skin barrier so is not particularly useful in skincare products beyond attracting water to the upper layer of the skin

Anti-oxidation

This product contains antioxidants (camellia japonica flower extract) that might be able to help neutralize free radicals in skin to lessen the damage it gets from the UV light (sun). There is not enough evidence to confirm their effectiveness in skin though.

camellia japonica flower extract 0.1% - 0.45%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: MEDIUM

A plant extract that might help neutralize free radicals in skin

butyrospermum parkii butter 2.7% - 4.1%

Irritation risk: Comedogenicity: High

Concentration: Effectiveness: LOW

A great moisturising ingredient that softens the skin and reduces water loss from its upper layer. It also can be helpful in protecting skin from free radicals

anemarrhena asphodeloides root extract 0.05% - 0.3%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: LOW

A plant extract that might have some anti-oxidant properties
