1. Matrixyl 3000 8%; (Palmitoyl Oligopeptide - Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7)

    If you have heard the excitement that Matrixyl 3000 (natures

    alternative to cosmetic procedure) is causing in the world of

    anti aging skin care, then you may be wondering what it is.

    Matrixyl 3000 combines palmitoyl oligopeptide and palmitoyl

    tetrapeptide-7. According to the Sederma corporation, the

    synergy between palmitoyl oligopeptide and palmitoyl

    tetrapeptide-7 is dramatic. They reported a tissue culture

    study that Matrixyl 3000 increased the synthesis of skin

    matrix roughly 2.5-3.5 times. In particular, the synthesis of

    collagen type I increased by 258%. hyaluronic acid - by 179%

    fibronectin - by 164%. Reported  beneficial effects after two

    month of daily application.

2. Hyaluronic Acid; One of the most exciting ingredients on the market is Hyaluronic Acid it plays an

    important role in tissue lubrication and hydration, elasticity and cellular function. Used as a moisturiser

    and super hydrator, hyaluronic acid results in increased smoothness, softening and decreased wrinkles.

    Is an excellent hydrator and frequently used during post-peel procedures to soothe new skin cells. It is

    used extensively by the cosmetic industry and dermatologists in anti-aging moisturising products, as it

    absorbs and retains water over 1000 times its weight.

3. DMAE (Dimethylaminoethanol): Often called "the Face Lift In a Jar". This little gem has become one of

    the must have in face preparations because of its reported ability to increase skin firmness, plump lips,

    reduce facial sag, fine lines and reinforce the skins foundation of collagen and elastin and that DMAE

   actually makes cells live longer. When applied to the skin it stimulates acetylcholine release which

   triggers a response in the muscles of the face keeping them taught. This activity creates a firmer tighter

   facial tone and less sagging. DMAE is used topically to reduce fine lines and wrinkles showing a

   noticeable difference within 20 minutes of application although not to the extent of a face lift- we need

   to be realistic here.

4. Gotu Kola Organic; Temporary firming, soothes the irritation of dry skin, purifying, tonic,

    stimulating, promotes circulation. The asiaticosides and triterpenes extracted from the plant have

    modulating properties on the development & metabolism of connective tissue, stimulates the production

    of collagen I and other tissue proteins, restores tissue firmness and skin elasticity, increasing the tone

    of the connective tissue sheath, improving skin appearance, helping to retard the aging process. Also

    improves wound healing, helping prevent excessive scar formation.

5. CUCUMBER  ORGANIC: Rich in Vit C the juice from cucumber has both strong moisture binding abilities

    as well as mild astringent effects. Cucumber extract is soothing and helps relieve the puffiness of the

    skin. It also helps firms, tones and tighten.

6. Alphalipoic Acid; a powerful antioxidant that boosts skin's radiance, promotes healthy cell function and

    minimises surface imperfections and enlarged pores. As it is oil and water soluble it is able to enter all

    parts of a skin cell helping fight free radical damage plus inhibit cross linking which contributes to the

    aging process and wrinkles. It also has an ant-inflammatory effect on skin tissue.

7. Kakadu Plum Organic; The Kakadu Plum has superior anti-oxidant properties and has been identified

   world wide as the single natural food source with the highest vitamin C content on the planet! and can

   improve the skin's visual appearance. It contains 3000mg of vitamin C per 100g of fruit. Oranges, on the

   other hand, contain just 50mg of vitamin C per 100g fruit.

8. Niacinamide (vitamin B3); improves the appearance of wrinkles, with a decrease in skin discolorations,

    less redness, a reduction in sallowness and improved elasticity. Increases ceramide and free fatty acid

    levels in skin and prevents skin from water loss.
