WHAT IT DOES

A potent peptide that boosts 6 essential skin-rebuilding macromolecules, proteins, and glycosaminoglycans. It evens skin relief and smooths wrinkles from the inside by rebuilding the skin where needed.
Collagen I – constitutes the most abundant amount of collagen in the tissues (approx 30%) and overall in the dermis (80%). The collagen molecules auto-assemble one another to form the characteristic fibers of the tissues. Collagen I makes up the crosslinked structure that can resist the skin's various physical stresses.
Collagen III – known as the collagen of youth, collagen III is produced during the early phases of wound healing. It is thought to be partly responsible for skin smoothness.
Fibronectin – are multi-adhesive soluble proteins that help attach cells to the various types of collagen. They also have an essential function in cell migration and differentiation.
Hyaluronic Acid is a critical component responsible for water retention in the tissue and regulating cell proliferation and wound healing.
Collagen IV – is an anchorage protein (also a part of Laminin-5 – see below) found at the base of the membrane, at the interface of the extracellular matrix of the dermis, and the basal layer cells.
Laminin-5 – is an adhesive glycoprotein involved in the regeneration of the damaged dermis.
It is a high-tech component that profoundly reduces wrinkles by rebuilding the skin where it is most needed.
