This paraben- and perfume-free complex includes the following beneficial ingredients:
Acetyl Hexapeptide-8
This safe, natural ingredient consists of amino acids which decrease muscle contractions under the skin to minimize wrinkles and lines. One study [1] concluded that Acetyl Hexapeptide cream reduced wrinkles and improved user self-image.
Acetyl Glutamyl Heptapeptide-1
This peptide relaxes muscles by limiting skin contractions, resulting in reduced wrinkles, furrows, and lines. One article [2] discussed the benefits of this ingredient in anti-wrinkle cosmetic products.
Palmitoyl Oligopeptide
This amino acid compound improves skin elasticity and strength, making it more resistant to stress and damage. It encourages cell matrix repair and renewal and enhances appearance and tone. One review [3] discussed its cosmetic uses and safety.
Malus Domestica Fruit Extract
Malus Domestica Fruit Cell Culture is from a rare Swiss apple, and contains growth enzymes that protect skin cells, increase their longevity, and slow aging. In a 4-week study [4], 100% of participants had significantly fewer lines and crow's feet.
Jojoba Seed Oil
This deep-penetrating, non-greasy ingredient hydrates and nourishes, improving skin clarity and texture and reducing wrinkles and fine lines. One review [5] discussed the role of jojoba oil in dermatology.
Apricot Kernel Oil
Apricot Kernel Oil contains fatty acids, vitamins, and antioxidants that seal in moisture and protect against free radicals. It firms and tones the skin, and has soothing anti-inflammatory properties. One study [6] showed its potent antioxidant and antimicrobial benefits.
Squalane
This olive oil-derived extract provides long-lasting hydration, eliminates dryness, improves texture, and diminishes fine lines and wrinkles. Rich in antioxidants, it protects from free radicals and environmental agents. One article [7] discussed the use of squalane in dermatology.
Hyaluronic Acid
Hyaluronic acid attracts moisture, restoring hydration, eliminating dryness, and plumping the skin to smooth lines. It contains antioxidants that heal wounds and reverse aging. One study [8] found that it hydrated skin by 96% and reduced wrinkle depth by 40%.
Matrixyl 3000
This peptide reverses aging by restructuring the skin and stimulating collagen production [10]. It increases elasticity, smoothing lines and wrinkles. One clinical study [9] found that Matrixyl 3000 caused a drastic reduction in wrinkle depth and volume and improved texture.
SYN-AKE™
SYN-AKE™ is an anti-aging tripeptide that relaxes facial muscles to prevent wrinkles and expression lines due to repetitive movements. One study [11] found that SYN-AKE™ increased collagen production and decreased wrinkles and lines.
