Palmitoyl Oligopeptide - studies have proven that this ingredient can refuel Collagen production by 350% & Hyaluronic Acid production by 146% - amino acids Glycine, Glutamine, Proline and Arginine make up this particular form of Oligopeptide

• Mimics skins natural trigger for accelerated collagen synthesis
• Reduces depth of wrinkles & skin roughness
• Deeply penetrating properties that encourage skins natural healthy function & elasticity
• increase in Hyaluronic Acid provides plumpness from within , combating lines & deep wrinkles
• Works synergistically with Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7 promoting overall skin healing & regeneration

Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7 - Compound which combines several chains of amino acids to reduce skin inflammation and related skin damage

• Stimulates regeneration of collagen fibres in the dermis by acting as a cellular messenger
• Increases hyaluronic acid helping to tighten skin by attracting moisture to the epidermis
• Skin penetration enhancer
• Decreases inflammation by suppressing Interleukin (created in response to damage) which leads to cellular deterioration
• Accelerates healing by relieving chemical pressure on the skin
• Induces natural collagen production for skin healing and rejuvenation
• Symptoms of rosacea maybe alleviated
• Reduce the appearance of uneven skin tones

Transexamic Acid

• Research indicates it can aid the reduction of hyperpigmentation & hormonally induced melasma due to its impact on melanin production
• Shown to strengthen the skin barrier function serving as a shield that helps retain moisture & inhibit toxin & irritant penetration thus reducing inflammatory responses
• Assists resolution in rosacea symptoms & accelerated ageing
• Derivative of the amino acid lysine that is used to control bleeding, helps blood to clot
• An antifibrinolytic agent that is beneficial in treating erythematotelangiectatic rosacea, a type of rosacea that presents with facial flushing and persistent redness

                                                                                                                                                Nonapeptide–1 – skin lightening biomimetic peptide which works through the antagonism to alpha melanocyte stimulating hormone, inhibits the hormone signal that activates the melanocyte to produce melanin, thus preventing and lightening hyperpigmentation

• Antagonist of α-MSH
• Prevents tyrosinase activity
• Inhibits by 33% the synthesis of melanin induced by α-MSH. Tyrosinase inhibition reduces the formation of unwanted pigmentation allowing for control over skin tone and brown spots.
• Biomimetic peptide antagonist specific of the α-MSH. Biomimetic peptides are identical to the skin’s peptides,  and are acting on the physiological mechanisms of the skin with a high specificity. 
• Competes against the natural ligand (a-MSH) on it’s specific receptor(MC1-R) by preventing any further activation of the tyrosinase, and thus blocking melanin synthesis
