Product summary

"Revision Skincare - Revox Line Relaxer" is a well-rounded moisturizing product. To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. Revision Skincare - Revox Line Relaxer ticks this box. Humectants in this product (acetyl hexapeptide-8, acetyl octapeptide-3, aminobutyric acid, glycerin 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 (palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7, caprylyl glycol and pentylene glycol) 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 tetrapeptide-7 1.30% - 2.00%, palmitoyl hexapeptide-19 0.55% - 1.35%, n-prolyl palmitoyl tripeptide-56 acetate 0.45% - 1.05%, dipeptide diaminobutyroyl benzylamide diacetate 1.70% - 2.50%, acetyl octapeptide-3 2.70% - 4.10%, acetyl hexapeptide-8 3.50% - 5.30% and acetyl hexapeptide-1 1.00% - 1.50%). There are many different kind of peptides and they are naturally present in our skin. They all are a combination of amino-acids. Some of them work as natural anti-biotics, promote wound-healing and production of collagen. The science is still not settled on how effective peptides in skincare are, 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.
