What Are Peptide Products and How Can They
Help You Achieve Younger Looking Skin?
Peptides are short chains of amino acids that, in
the body, regulate proteins and other molecules. Some can
have hormonal or antibiotic activity and may be beneficial
in wound healing or skin repair.
Acetyl Hexapeptide-3 ( Argireline)
is an amino-peptide developed to help reduce the appearance
of fine lines and wrinkles. When applied to the skin of the
face and neck, Acetyl Hexapeptide-3 has been found
to help naturally relax the muscles by temporarily limiting
the overproduction and release of neurotransmitters that initiate
and control the intensity of facial muscle contractions. When
the muscles relax, the skin relaxes and flattens, reducing
the appearance of wrinkles. At least 10% concentration of
Acetyl Hexapeptide-3 is recommended. Several exciting
new products are available based on the active ingredient
Acetyl Hexapeptide-3.
There are several amino-peptide-based anti-wrinkle
serums that we like:
STRIVECTIN-SD
Interestingly, Strivectin-SD was initially
developed to reduce stretch marks, but testers inadvertently
discovered its potential to reduce the appearance of wrinkles
and fine lines. Strivectin-SD includes a proprietary combination
of skin firming agents, elasticizers, and skin hydrators.
The active ingredient is an oligo-peptide (called Pal-KTTKS).
Studies have shown a decrease in the actual length of stretch
marks, a decrease the depth of indented surfaces, an increase
in smooth surfaces, an increase in skin thickness, an increase
in skin firmness, an increased stimulation of glycosaminoglycan
and collagen synthesis, and a correction in irregularities
in skin discoloration. It is one of the most popular anti-wrinkle
products on the market because people are finding a significant
improvement ” in wrinkle depth, length, wrinkle volume,
and skin roughness. " They also found that the peptide
solution thickened skin nearly 1.5 times faster than retinol,
and without the inflammation retinol often causes in sensitive
skin.
Prices range from about $89 to $135 for Strivectin-SD. Here
