muscle contraction thus preventing the formation
of lines and It is especially effective in
reducing wrinkle depth.

Acetyl Hexapeptide
(Argireline):
A Hexapeptide (chain of 6
amino acids) that works by inhibiting the
release of neurotransmitters. When applied to
the skin, Argireline relaxes facial tension
leading to the reduction in facial lines and
wrinkles with regular use.

Alpha Lipoic Acid:
A powerful antioxidant - part of your
first-line of defense against free radicals. It
neutralizes free radicals in both the fatty and
watery regions of cells. Alpha-lipoic acid also
plays an important role in the synergism of
antioxidants; It directly recycles and extends
the metabolic life spans of vitamin C,
glutathione, and coenzyme Q10, and it indirectly
renews vitamin E.

Bergamot Tea:
An aromatic herb native to eastern North America
from Maine west to Ohio and south to northern
Georgia. Its name is derived from its odor which
is considered similar to that of the bergamot
orange and is known for it's cleansing
properties.

Co-Enzyme Q10 (Co-Q10):
Present in all human cells and responsible for
the production of the body?s own energy. Acts as
an antioxidant which means it helps in
anti-aging fight. As we get older our ability to
produce it naturally decreases, showing signs of
aging. In most people over thirty, levels of
CoQ10 in the skin are below optimum, resulting
in lesser ability to produce collagen, elastin
and other important skin molecules. CoQ10 boosts
skin repair and regeneration, reduce free
radical damage, and is a small molecule that can
relatively easily penetrate into skin cells.

DMAE
(Dimethylaminoethanol):
Naturally occurring substance that facilitates
the synthesis of a neurotransmitter
acetylcholine. Reduces facial sag and helps to
tighten skin.
Day Action |
Dimethicone:
The most widely used silicon-based organic
polymer, and is particularly known for its
unusual rheological (or flow) properties.
Dimethicone belongs to a class of synthetic
materials known as silicones. It is used widely
in Beauty Care Products for its superior
spreadability and is an excellent emollient.

Glycolic Acid (or
Hydroxyacetic Acid):
A colorless, odorless and hydroscopic
crystalline solid that is highly soluble in
water and related solvents. Glycolic acid is
isolated from sugarcane, sugar beets, pineapple,
cantaloupe, and unripe grapes. Due to its
excellent capability to penetrate skin, glycolic
acid is most often used as a chemical peel
performed by a dermatologist. It is used to
improve the skin's appearance and texture. It
may reduce wrinkles, acne scarring, hyper
pigmentation and improve many other skin
conditions. Once applied, glycolic acid reacts
with the upper layer of the epidermis, weakening
the binding properties of the lipids that hold
the dead skin cells together. This allows the
outer skin to "dissolve" revealing the
underlying, healthier, smoother,
brighter-looking skin.

Grape Seed Oil:
Preferred cosmetic ingredient for damaged and
stressed tissues, possessing regenerative and
restructuring qualities which allow a better
control of skin moisturization.
Day Action |
Hyaluronic Acid (aka
Hyaluronan or Hyaluronate):
A non-sulfated glycosaminoglycan distributed
widely throughout connective, epithelial, and
neural tissues. It is one of the chief
components of the extra cellular matrix and
contributes significantly to cell proliferation
and migration. Found naturally in cartilage,
used for many different medical applications
including treatment of osteoarthritis, eye
surgery, is gaining popularity as a biomaterial
scaffold in tissue engineering research, is
often used as a tumor marker, and it helps to
support healthy skin, eyesight and joint
function and keeps them feeling youthful well
into their later years. Can hold 900 times its
own weight in water.

Lactic Acid:
Used to retexturize the skin?s surface and to
stimulate cell renewal. Lactic acid helps
diminish the cohesion of surface skin cells
which results in smoother, more flexible skin.
Active Cleanser |
Orange Flower (Neroli):
Plant oil similar in scent to bergamot produced
from the blossom of the bitter orange tree. It
is used to combat acne, scars, aging and oily
skin, and even stretch marks. It is a non-toxic,
non-irritant, non-sensitizing substance with
aromatherapy value.

Palmitoyl Oligopeptide:
The result of an intensive effort to create a
substance that would act like retinoic acid
without the negative characteristics and
irritation. The following statistics were
gathered using image analysis of volunteers who
used creams containing a 3% concentration of
Palmitoyl Oligopeptide for 28 days: Surface
roughness Reduced 17%, Mean depth of
wrinkles Reduced 23%, Depth of main wrinkle
Reduced 39%, Skin thickness Increased 4%.

Palmitoyl
Tetrapeptide-3:
Originally used in wound healing, clinical
studies have shown a dramatic improvement in
skin smoothness and decreased wrinkle depth in
test subjects. More importantly, it has been
proved to be even more effective than Retinol or
Vitamin C in reducing fine lines and wrinkles
associated with photo-aged skin.

Pentapeptide-3
(Matrixyl):
It consists of five amino acids linked together
and attached to a fatty acid to enhance oil
solubility for the sake of better skin
penetration. Researchers found that when added
to the culture of fibroblasts (the key skin
cells), palmitoyl pentapeptide-3 stimulated the
synthesis of the key constituents of the skin
matrix: collagen, elastin and glucosamnoglycans.

Retinol:
A Vitamin A derivative - used as anti-aging
chemical - vitamin A is absorbed through the
skin and increases the rate of skin turnover,
and gives an increase in collagen giving a more
youthful appearance.

Salicylic Acid:
Also known as 2-hydroxybenzoic acid (one of
several beta hydroxy acids (compare to AHA),
salicylic acid is the key additive in many
skin-care products for the treatment of acne,
psoriasis, calluses, corns, keratosis pilaris
and warts. It treats acne by causing skin cells
to slough off more readily, preventing pores
from clogging up.

the oil even after extraction and is high in
protein.

Squalene:
Beneficial effects on the skin include decrease
in dryness and smoothing of wrinkles and scaly
skin. Studies have shown that Squalene has a
stimulatory effect on the healing process which
is thought to be due to its oxidizing effect. It
is also synthesized in the human liver, a
deficiency of which results in dry skin and
premature aging. It has been shown to have
beneficial effects in the management of
dermatitis and skin cancer. Squalene makes up
12% of sebum, a natural product expressed by
human sebaceous glands to moisturize hair
follicles. Squalene has a natural affinity to
skin, with a natural spreadability and skin
absorption. It penetrates the skin quickly, does
not leave your skin greasy and blends well with
other oils and vitamins.
Night Action |
Tripeptide:
A peptide consisting of three amino acids joined
by peptide bonds. The most commonly used
Tripeptides in anti-aging ingredient is
Tripeptide-1 and Tripeptide-3, which as well as
contributing to skin condition, specifically
target skin cell renewal through the
regeneration of collagen.
