Ingredient callouts
Peptides (tripeptide-1 0.85% - 1.25%, acetyl hexapeptide-8 0.10% (declared), tripeptide-29 0.90% (declared), palmitoyl pentapeptide-4 0.10% (declared), hexapeptide-9 1.30% (declared) and copper tripeptide-1 0.05% (declared)). 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.
Humectants (acetyl hexapeptide-8 0.10% (declared) and hexapeptide-9 1.30% (declared)). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.
This product contains acetyl hexapeptide-8, copper tripeptide-1, hexapeptide-9, palmitoyl pentapeptide-4, tripeptide-1, tripeptide-29.
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.
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.
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:
acetyl hexapeptide-8, hexapeptide-9.
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:
tripeptide-1, pentylene glycol.
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, tripeptide-1, tripeptide-29
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
