Matrixyl 3000, a palmitoyl pentapeptide pal-KTTKS,
is a modified chain of five amino acids developed
and patented as an antiaging active ingredient by
the French company Sederma SA. Matrixyl  was
designed to promote collagen production in the
skin.

In a clinical trial, Matrixyl 3000 achieved the following
results:

• 33% decrease in wrinkle density
• 23% decrease in the volume of wrinkles
• 20% decrease in the depth of wrinkles

In clinical studies, Matrixyl was shown to:

• increase overall collagen synthesis by up to 117%
• increase collagen IV synthesis by up to 327%
• increase hyaluronic acid synthesis by up to 267%

Deep wrinkles were reduced by half. Smaller
wrinkles and fine lines sometimes faded
completely away. And what's even better,
every participant in the study showed
noticeable improvement within two weeks.
The result was fewer wrinkles and younger
looking skin.

Argireline

Argireline® delivers superior anti-wrinkle results.
Argireline is the trade name for Acetyl Hexa-
peptide-3, a synthetic anti-aging cosmetic
ingredient derived from natural proteins. It is a
peptide; a chain made up of amino acids. It is a
combination of amino acids formulated to relax
facial wrinkles, reduce the degree of existing
wrinkles, and stop their future development.

This peptide complex works by relaxing the
muscles rather than affecting the skin.

Cosmetics companies have marketed Argireline
as a cheaper alternative treatment to Botulinum
Toxin A (Botox), because the principles behind
their chemical actions are similar.

Scientific studies suggest that as part of a low
formulation in a cosmetic product Argireline is a
safe and effective agent in skin care treatment.

Snap-8

The anti wrinkle octapeptide SNAP-8 is an elon-
gation of the famous hexapeptide Argireline®.
SNAP-8 reduces the depth of wrinkles on the
face caused by the contraction of muscles of
facial expression, especially in the forehead and
around the eyes.

In clinical studies, the severity of wrinkles around
the eyes decreased up to 63.13%. Both in vivo
and in vitro efficacy testing suggests that SNAP-8
is approximately 30% more active than its parent
peptide Argireline.

Copper Peptides

Copper Peptides triggers the skin's natural renewal
mechanisms to rebuild the protective barrier, in-
creases the skin's ability to hold water and aid in
removing damaged cells. Tests also show that it
increases collagen and elastin even more than Vita-
min C. It induces the degradation of "extra-large" col-
lagen aggregates found in scars and promotes the
synthesis of smaller more regular collagen found in
normal skin.

Copper Peptides also promotes the synthesis of elastin,
proteoglycans, glycosaminoglycans and other com-
ponents of skin matrix. Other important effects of
Copper Peptides include the ability to regulate the
growth rate and migration of different types of cells;
significant anti-inflammatory action; and the ability
to prevent the release of oxidation-promoting iron
into the tissues.
