Peptides and Aging
Dermis matrix consists of collagen and elastin. These protenacious
materials need to be in their normal, healthy stage to keep skin looking
healthy, supple and wrinkle free. Peptides stimulate skin fibroblasts
to rebuild the extra cellular matrix including collagen 1, IV, fibronectin
and GAGS.
Collagen and elastins will and can get denatured or cross-linked by bad
elements such as pollution, ultra violet rays, poor nutrition, chemical
insults and also by normal aging process, called glycosylation (glycation).
The denatured or cross-linked proteins can cause skin to sag, look dull,
wrinkle and thin.
These proteins with free radicals (generated by the same bad elements)
on them can attach to sugars in our bodies. Peptides act as anti-
glycating agents. They block proteins from attaching to sugars keeping
collagen and elastins in their free form. This anti-glycating effect gives
skin elasticity, softness, and an anti-wrinkled look.
Peptides also reduce harmful activity of proteolitic enzymes like
elasstase, trypsin, and chymotrypsin. These enzymes are involved in
stretch marks formations (forced extension of skin, during adolescence,
weight gain, body building, cosmetic surgery, pregnancy and etc).
Dipeptides improve lymphatic circulation to reduce discoloration under
the eye. These peptides are classified as:
Filling peptides
Relaxing peptides
Repairing peptides
Cosmeceuticals offers Pentapeptide Facelift containing 5 peptides
for preventative and wellness protection. Our HP-(high potency)

(the botox like effect without the needle) for mature skin, as well as the
