Hyaluronic Acid

Often named as one of the most beneficial anti-aging skincare ingredients, Hyaluronic Acid protects your skin from damage caused by external elements and boosts the tissue regeneration process. Skin contains approximately half of the Hyaluronic Acid in your body, so understandably, it’s crucial for the health of your complexion. In an 8-week study, almost 96% of women reported a drastic increase in skin hydration after using serums or creams containing Hyaluronic Acid. With regular use, this light, easily absorbed substance tightens loose skin, erasing fine lines and wrinkles for a smoother, evenly toned texture. Additionally, it provides fullness to areas that have lost volume, giving the skin a plumper, more youthful appearance.

Squalane

Squalane is a lightweight, highly moisturizing substance that gives skin a wonderfully silky-smooth texture without clogging pores or leaving a greasy residue. Rich in potent antioxidants, this powerful anti-aging ingredient prevents free radical damage, protects skin from UV rays, and drastically reduces water loss that leads to a dry, flaky complexion. Skincare experts say Squalane is one of nature’s most effective moisturizers and it certainly has proved itself in numerous clinical trials; in one consumer study, 95% of participants noted a dramatic improvement in skin smoothness within just 7 days of use.

Glycerin

Glycerin is an odorless liquid that has multiple purposes in a variety of industries. As a powerful humectant, it has the ability to attract and retain moisture from the atmosphere, making it ideal for use on dry, flaky skin. This quality also means that it is extremely beneficial as an anti-aging ingredient, because it keeps the complexion soft and supple, reducing the development of lines and wrinkles. As one of the most popular ingredients in skincare treatments, Glycerin is highly effective when combined with Hyaluronic Acid; a clinical study looking at how these two ingredients work together, found that within just 24 hours of application on the skin, they formed a protective barrier against external toxins and pollutants.

Hexapeptide-10

This potent peptide is known for its powerful anti-aging properties. It helps boost collagen production, reducing the severity of fine lines and enhancing skin elasticity. Hexapeptide-10 also plays an important role in increasing skin firmness, which in turn significantly reduces the sagging and looseness that occurs in aging skin. In a major study looking at the anti-aging benefits of Hexapeptide-10, participants using a cream containing the peptide experienced a 25% increase in smoothness and firmness of the skin in less than 2 months.

Acetyl Dipeptide-13

This peptide boosts the formation of collagen type 1 by approximately 99%, which significantly assists in preventing sagging skin. Additionally, it repairs the tissue between the epidermal layers, creating density and reinforcing the skin's natural tightness. There have been many studies performed on Acetyl Dipeptide-13 that prove how vital it is in slowing the skin-aging process. In an evaluation study where participants used a cream containing this peptide, skin deformation decreased by 15% after only 8 weeks of use. Another study reported that this compound peptide reduces elastase activity by approximately 23%, thereby inhibiting the destruction of the essential skin protein elastin. In a consumer trial, all the participants who applied Acetyl Dipeptide-13 topically reported an increase in overall skin elasticity and tightness, by 14% and by 16% respectively, during the initial weeks of the study.
