Matrixyl 3000:
Matrixyl 3000 works in an interesting way. It contains peptides that are produced in our skin when a key building block of our skin collagen breaks down. Collagen is very important for smooth and glowing skin. When we grow old the collagen density reduces causing some of those irritating aging signs. Matrixyl 3000 inserts those peptides in our skin that makes our skin to assume that a lot of collagen has broken down and therefore building more collagen is essential. This is how matrixyl 3000 helps our skin to maintain a youthful appearance.
Matrixly 3000 is clinically proven to promote collagen production in the skin. There are other things that can help our skin by providing necessary ingredients. And if you use a product that contains a combination of matrixyl 3000 and other ingredients, you will get better results. Such a combination is matrixyl 3000 and hyaluronic acid. When used together, these two have a synergistic effect and can increase each other's performance
Matrixyl 3000 is a matrikine combination to recreate conditions conducive to cell and matrix turnover. Matrixines act as cell messengers able to regulate the sequence of events required for skin repair. To a certain degree, wrinkles can be considered localized defects due to deficient repair related to the aging of the cutaneous functions of tissue repair and turnover.
Hyaluronic Acid:
Unequaled in hydrating the skin, resulting in increased smoothness, softening elasticity and decreased facial wrinkles.
Seaweed:
The red seaweed that grows on the rocks at low tide in the north Atlantic and Northwest Pacific oceans are rich in nutrients and are a great vitamin source. Sea lettuce has anti oxidant and anti inflammatory properties and may also stimulate the production of collagen and elastin. A special proprietary blend combines both for maximum results.
Seaweed contains potent antioxidants and cell regenerating properties. The vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and enzymes present in sea seaweeds, are powerful antioxidants with a lot of skin healing and rejuvenating properties. Seaweed does wonders to aging skin by working to promote tissue regeneration activities in the skin to create skin elasticity. It maybe one of the reasons why the Japanese people have such youthful looking skin.
Seaweed captures all the richness from the sea. Seaweed is noted for being ten times richer in trace elements than land plants. The phytonutrients present in ocean vegetables also help increase blood flow at the surface of the skin, hence making it supple, smooth and radiant. Seaweed does wonders to our skin. When applied topically, seaweeds draw out toxins from our body and release its nutrients into us through our pores. This seaweed formulation stimulates and improves blood and lymph circulation, revitalizes and firms the skin, while re-establishing natural moisture levels to reduce the signs of aging.
Green Tea Extract:
The polyphenols found in green tea are strong anti-oxidants which have been shown to counteract free radical formation in the body. The polyphenols in green tea can reduce skin related free radical damage when applied to the skin. Studies have recently confirmed that application of a topical green tea extract protects against skin damage related to ultraviolet radiation from the sun.
Green Tea contains a natural plant nutrient called EGCG. This nutrient is a versatile substance that restores, protects and heals skin. It has been called a cell rejuvenator. It has skin cell repair qualities that help to restore collagen, the "building block" of skin. Existing fine lines and wrinkles are minimized and skin is returned to a healthy state.
It is also a powerful antioxidant. Antioxidants are micro-substances that help to protect cells from damage caused by free radicals. Free radicals are "toxic molecules" caused by such factors as sun exposure, pollution and smoke. Free radicals can inflame cells and damage skin. They contribute to the development of lines, wrinkles, brown spots and lost elasticity. The nutrients in green tea also act as a potent anti-inflammatory. When smoothed on affected areas, skin is soothed, calmed and balanced. This results in even skin tone, soothed irritation, and reduction in redness. It can also help heal dry, rough or cracked skin.
White Tea:
In lab tests, scientists explored the skin-protecting effects of 21 different extracts of plants and herbs (including burdock root, green tea and lavender. A number of the studied extracts were found to fight the breakdown of collagen and elastin (a protein that supports skin's elasticity and plays a role in the prevention of sagging). However, white tea outperformed all the other extracts in the study. According to a new study's findings, white tea may stall the activity of enzymes that damage elastin and collagen (and, in turn, contribute to wrinkles and other signs of aging in the skin). It also seems to provide an anti-inflammatory effect, the study's author's note.
Collagen Tripeptide:
An advanced formulation used to enhance the bioavailability of tripeptides and used for anti aging by enhancing collagen production. Stimulates collagen synthesis.The ingredients are activated and adhere to the skin upon application, in the presence of moisture. Through mimicking the skins own ability to produce collagen.
Aloe Vera:
Aloe Vera, or Aloe Barbadensis is a type of cactus whose anti-aging use has been known for thousands of years. The earliest references to Aloe Vera have been found on papyrus rolls from 1500 B.C. It appears to have been widely used in ancient Java, India, Egypt and Greece. It was well known that the gel in the thick Aloe Vera leaf had healing properties.
Inside the aloe vera leaf is a thin, clear, jelly-like material that is famous as a skin salve. Skin healing requires the increase of blood flow to the injured area, and aloe vera dilates capillaries, which increases blood circulation and speeds healing. Aloe vera is an especially effective treatment in cases of frostbite. Wounds heal more quickly, and infection and scaring is often prevented. Aloe vera also protects our skin from exposure to ultra-violet radiation. Aloe vera has amazing anti-inflammatory properties. It has beneficial medicinal properties including anti biotic, anti inflammatory and wound healing.
As the skin ages, it thins and wrinkles. Combined with the appearance of creases, age spots and furrows, you have all the problems that our favorite stars battle against for years. Anti-aging components of Aloe Vera have been found to reverse this degeneration of the skin by stimulating the production of collagen and elastin. Externally applied, it is a natural skin exfoliant, with the ability to penetrate into the skin and transport healthy substances through it. The regenerative qualities of Aloe Vera make it a treatment in great demand for premature aging of skin.
Grape seed oil:
Has mildly astringent qualities, which help to tighten and tone the skin, making it a good cosmetic ingredient for anti-aging products. It is also very useful for moisturizing the skin. Grape seed contains proanthocyanidins, which are very potent antioxidants, helpful for diminishing the sun's damaging effects and lessening free radical damage. The antioxidant effect of this oil is most useful when fighting the ravages of aging, as the oxidative stress caused by free radicals, which are neutralized by antioxidants, is one of the major factors that cause aging. Apart from its great skin moisturizing properties, it also has good restructuring virtues, and this light and finely textured oil is non irritating to the skin.
Gotu Kola:
In India, Gotu kola is regarded as perhaps the most spiritual of all herbs. It grows in some areas of the Himalayas. It is regarded as one of the most important rejuvenative herbs in Ayurvedic Medicine. Sri Lankans noticed that elephants, renowned for their longevity, munched on the leaves of the plant. Thus the leaves became known as a promoter of long life.
Studies have shown it reduces scarring when applied during inflammatory period of the wound. It was found effective when applied on patients with third degree burns, when the treatment commenced immediately after the accident. It is known to inhibit scar formation. It is also useful in repairing skin and smoothing out cellulite.
According to pharmacological studies, one outcome of gotu kola's complex actions is a balanced effect on cells and tissues participating in the process of healing, particularly connective tissues. The leaves of the Gotu Kola plant have been used for medicinal purposes, including the management of skin problems. By the 1880's, gotu kola's status for treating skin and other maladies had expanded throughout Asia and Europe.
When applied on the surface of your skin, gotu kola has been known to minimize scarring, speed up the healing of skin. Gotu Kola, also called Indian Pennywort or Centella, is a native herb of South Africa, India, Sri Lanka and Madagascar. It has been used extensively in African herbal remedies and has been a major herb in Ayurvedic medicine for the last 3000 years, and was also referred to by early Western medicine in the French pharmacopoeia of 1884.
In India it has for the last 3,000 years of Ayurvedic medicine been used for wound healing. In the modern day pharmaceutical world it is often used as an active ingredient in tonics, oral slimming formulas, body beautiful preparations, body firming products, wound healing and anti-aging skin care products.
Bilberry:
Bilberry is made from a little blue berry that is related to blueberries and cranberries. Bilberry is a powerful anti-inflammatory. The herb is also a powerful antioxidant. Because of Bilberry's strong antioxidant composition, the herb makes an excellent free radical scavenger, which helps combat the cell damage that leads to premature aging and disease.
Vitamin E:
Vitamin E is one of a group of key anti aging vitamins and minerals that protect the skin and other cell structures in your body from free radical damage. Some researchers believe that vitamin E is the most important of all the anti aging antioxidants - the master vitamin. Vitamin E works as an anti aging antioxidant. Applied directly vitamin E protects the skin from ultraviolet radiation which is one of the main causes of skin aging. There are many research studies proving beyond doubt that vitamin E applied topically to the skin prevents and repairs UV damage.
