Matrixyl 3000

Matrixyl 3000 is a bioactive peptide complex which includes palmitoyl tripeptide-1 and palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7. These two peptides work synergically to trigger repair mechanisms in the skin and stimulate collagen deposition. A reduction in fine lines and wrinkles can be expected with long-term use.

As a peptide, when applied topically, Matrixyl interacts with specific receptors on the skin cells, triggering a response that leads to increased collagen production, expanding the extracellular matrix of the skin and improving skin texture.

GHK-Cu

GHK-Cu (glycyl-l-histidyl-l-lysine) is a naturally-occurring peptide with copper ions bound to small protein fragments known as peptides. When applied topically, they work as an antioxidant, promote collagen and elastic production, and soften the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. GHK-Cu has multiple biological actions which include stimulating blood flow, increasing collagen, elastin and glycosaminoglycan synthesis, as well as supporting the function of dermal fibroblasts.

 All of these functions are critical in skin remodelling, wound healing and regeneration. In addition, GHK-Cu has strong antioxidants to counter the effects of free radicals that damage the skin. They have a renowned ability to absorb beneath the epidermis layer of the skin which makes them beneficial in treating deep-rooted skin concerns, such as wrinkles and inflammation.
