Placentor Végétal Stretch Mark Active Concentrate

MoisturizingPalmitoyl tripeptide-1, Palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7 + 9 moreWorks well
“The skin is moisturised, visibly firmer and more elastic, stretch-marks are attenuated (from 56 days).”
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 soy protein.
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: caprylic/capric triglyceride, prunus armeniaca kernel oil.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7, palmitoyl tripeptide-1
Anti-agingSide benefit the brand mentions · Centella asiatica extract, Palmitoyl tripeptide-1 + 2 moreMay help
“By stimulating the Collagen synthesis, the bio-peptides matrikines, favor the regeneration of the skin and reduce the appearance of stretch-marks (decrease in depth, width and red color of streaks).The skin is moisturised, visibly firmer and more elastic, stretch-marks are attenuated (from 56 days).Non greasy cream.”
This product contains centella asiatica extract, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7, palmitoyl tripeptide-1. 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.
Anti-oxidationSide benefit · Centella asiatica extract, Prunus armeniaca kernel oil + 4 moreMay help
This product contains antioxidants (centella asiatica 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.

Product summary

This product could be helpful for: Anti-aging, but its actives are not the most effective or are not well-studied.
Ingredient callouts
- Peptides (palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7 0.30% - 0.75% and palmitoyl tripeptide-1 0.35% - 0.80%). 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 (glycerin 4.40% - 6.70%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.
