Power Peptides is powered by four peptide technologies at the clinically proven, potent percentages that work together to firm the skin and give its bounce back.
The formula includes 3% Matrixyl 3000 (Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 coupled with Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7), one of the most proven & well-known peptide duos to reduce wrinkles for younger-looking skin. According to the manufacturer's data, 3% Matrixyl 3000 used twice a day for 2 months can significantly reduce wrinkle depth and density, while improving roughness, elasticity & skin tone, with a lifting effect as a bonus.
The serum also contains 2% Matrixyl synthe’6 (Palmitoyl Tripeptide-38) - the next generation of the Matrixyl technology that can boost the production of 6 major components of the skin matrix (Collagen I, III, IV, Fibronectin, Hyaluronic Acid and Laminin 5), resulting in more even skin & fewer wrinkles particularly on the forehead & eye area (crow's feet).
A lesser known, but super high-performing peptide selected for our formula is TEGO® PEP 4-17 (Tetrapeptide-21), an extracellular matrix boosting peptide with superior collagen, hyaluronic & fibronectin boosting activity. While TEGO® PEP 4-17 is clinically proven to work starting at 0.5%, we use the powerful shot of 4% in Power Peptides (used also in the 60 person in-vivo test of the manufacturer) to increase skin elasticity & skin smoothness.
The fourth peptide technology we included is an encapsulated copper peptide (Copper Palmitoyl Heptapeptide-14) trade named X50 Antiaging. Its unique feature is the high-tech delivery system: the copper peptide is encapsulated in a biocompatible polymer shell and outside this shell sits another peptide (Heptapeptide-15 Palmitate). This targeting peptide has a strong affinity to the fibroblast receptors and guides the copper peptide to the right place in the skin which is the collagen producing fibroblast cell. Due to the advanced delivery system, X50 Antiaging is effective at the tiniest levels with the clinically proven and recommended amount being 0.001%, the amount we use in this serum.
who is it for?
If you would like to add a powerhouse peptide serum to your smart-aging regimen, Power Peptides will be your ultimate go-to serum. We especially recommend it, if you like to indulge your skin with gorgeous, milky textured serums.
- Skin Type
- all skin types
- Skin Problem
- aging, loss of firmness & elasticity
- Texture
- silky, hydrating, milky texture
how to use it?
Apply a few drops to the face after cleansing, liquid & gel products and before using creams. Can be used around the eyes and in the same routine with any other active ingredient (incl. acids & retinoids), either in the AM and/or PM.
GEEK Tip: For a powerful smart-aging routine, combine Power Peptides with A-Game Retinal Serum. Use Power Peptides first, then follow with A-Game and finish with your favorite moisturizer.
Good to know: Power Peptides has a gorgeously hydrating texture, so you might not need a hydrating serum next to it.
ingredients & research
key ingredients:
Matrixyl 3000 (Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 + Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7): One of the most proven & well-known duos to reduce wrinkles, achieving younger-looking skin. It can significantly reduce wrinkle density and depth, while improving roughness, elasticity & skin tone. It also has a visible lifting effect.
Matrixyl synthe’6 (Palmitoyl Tripeptide-38): A peptide that can boost the production of 6 major components of the skin matrix (Collagen I, III, IV, Fibronectin, Hyaluronic Acid and Laminin 5), resulting in more even skin & fewer wrinkles particularly on the forehead & eye area (crow's feet).
TEGO® PEP 4-17 (Tetrapeptide-21): It is an extracellular matrix boosting peptide with superior collagen, hyaluronic and fibronectin boosting activity. It can increase skin elasticity & skin smoothness, while it also accelerates wound healing, indicating improved cellular turnover & skin regeneration activities.
X50 Antiaging (Copper Palmitoyl Heptapeptide-14): An encapsulated copper peptide with a high-tech delivery system - the copper peptide is encapsulated in a biocompatible polymer shell and outside this shell sits another peptide (Heptapeptide-15 Palmitate) with a strong affinity to the fibroblast receptors, guiding the copper peptide to the collagen producing fibroblast cell, promoting the gene expression of both collagen and elastin, resulting in wrinkle reduction and increased elasticity.
