Combats deep wrinkles
Key Ingredients
Matrixyl™ is a peptide – palmitoyl-pentapeptide 3 to be specific – and you’ll find it in wide use in top anti-aging creams. “In early 2013 University of Reading researchers found that Matrixyl can nearly double the amount of the protein collagen needed to give skin its elasticity. The team was led by Professor Hamley, a peptide-phile who had been looking at ways to stimulate collagen for wound healing. The Reading University research was paid for by “University studentship with some additional funding by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC).”
Adipofill’in™ is a relatively new anti-aging ingredient but it’s shown tremendous results. Reviva incorporated it into our Multi-Peptide Complex to specifically help improve the appearance of slackened and thinning skin in the cheek and nasolabial areas of the face. Per its developer, Lucas Meyer Cosmetics, “Adipofill’in is able to restore lost volume and plumpness in skin which has suffered from structural aging. The L-orithine in the Adipofill’in Complex was extracted from vegetable starch and is believed to better target adipocytes than similar treatments.”
Progeline™ is an ingredient developed by Lucas Meyer Cosmetics, helps aging skin in many ways. It helps to improve collagen synthesis, and reduces progerin5 a recently discovered negative protein reaction that appears to exacerbate skin aging. “Progeline™ clinically reduces signs of aging: sagging and wrinkles, improves firmness, elasticity and the jaw line contour for a complete remodeling effect with outstanding results on different areas of the face.”
SYN®-AKE a peptide that mimics the peptide found in temple pit viper venom. It’s been shown to help relax muscle contractions, specifically those of repetitive facial expressions that over time can lead to furrows and wrinkles. By relaxing these muscular contractions, the formation of wrinkles is inhibited and existing wrinkles will subside in appearance over time. In vitro the peptide is considered as an antagonist at the muscular nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (mnAChR)”4
