This paraben- and the perfume-free complex includes the following beneficial ingredients:
Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 - Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 is a polypeptide that works somewhat similarly to Neurotoxin A without the harsh effects or need for painful injections. Comprised of naturally occurring amino acids, this polypeptide disrupts specific pathways beneath the skin to discourage muscle contractions, thereby minimizing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. A study of women using a cream containing acetyl hexapeptide-8 showed an average decrease in apparent wrinkle depth.
Dipeptide Diaminobutyroyl Benzylamide Diacetate - Also known as SYN-AKE, this ingredient has effects somewhat similar to those of the venom from the Temple Viper snake. But, rest assured, Dipeptide Diaminobutyroyl Benzylamide Diacetate is non-toxic and completely safe. It acts to relax facial characteristics, thereby minimizing the appearance of wrinkles and reducing the repetitive muscle movements that cause them. A clinical study of this ingredient found a reduction in the visibility of forehead wrinkles and showed dramatic improvement in participants' skin smoothness.
Acetyl Glutamyl Heptapeptide-1 - Acetyl Glutamyl Heptapeptide-1 helps keep muscles in a relaxed state by interfering with proteins and pathways that cause muscle contractions beneath the skin, thereby drastically reducing the appearance of wrinkles, furrows, and lines.
Palmitoyl Oligopeptide - This peptide contains a matrikine - an amino acid compound that has multiple skin beautifying and strengthening effects. It helps improve the elasticity and strength of your skin, making it more resistant to stress and damage, and encourages extracellular matrix repair and renewal to improve skin's appearance and tone.
Pentapeptide-3& Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7 (Matrixyl 3000) - Matrixyl 3000 contains two matrikines that stimulate the synthesis of elastin and hyaluronic acid, a protein and a polysaccharide, respectively, that help keep your skin full, firm, and smooth. A study of this ingredient found that women who used Matrixyl 3000 demonstrated a decrease in the overall area occupied by deep wrinkles. The study also showed reductions in apparent wrinkle density, depth, and volume and improvements to the smoothness of the skin.
Malus Domestica Fruit Cell Culture - The growth enzyme therapy complex in this ingredient is what gives Stemuderm its restorative, long-lasting, rejuvenating effect. According to various studies, these growth enzymes, which are derived from an extremely rare apple found in Switzerland, can protect the cells found in human skin. This helps preserve your skin's youthful appearance and slow the signs of aging. A study of this growth enzyme complex found that all of participants showed a noticeable reduction in apparent wrinkle depth.
Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil - Jojoba seed oil is a powerful emollient that is very similar to the oil naturally produced in your skin. It provides deep, non-greasy moisture that hydrates and nourishes your skin. It also improves your skin's overall clarity and texture and reduces the appearance of fine lines.
Prunus Armeniaca (Apricot) Kernel Oil - Apricot Kernel oil is rich in fatty acids, vitamins, and antioxidants that seal in moisture and help protect your skin. This light, non-greasy compound can also firm and tone your skin while soothing irritation and swelling with its anti-inflammatory effects.
Squalane - This olive oil extract hydrates your skin and helps seal in moisture, giving you a dewy complexion and providing protection from free radicals and other environmental factors that can damage your skin. A quick-absorbing moisturizer, it also helps diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and stimulates skin cell transformation.
Hyaluronic Acid - Because of its humectant properties, hyaluronic acid can hold up to 1,000 times its weight in water, making it an incredibly effective moisturizer. In addition to providing your skin with much needed hydration, Hyaluronic Acid also has a 'plumping' effect that reduces the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and other skin imperfections, giving your complexion a smoother, more even texture.
