• Vitamin A and other Retinoids

Retinoids are well-known ingredients in anti-ageing skin care. They pay a significant role in smoothing the skin and eliminating skin discolouration. Retinol, also known as vitamin A is probably the most recognizable retinoid.

Vitamin A provides several significant benefits for the skin. It reduces fine lines and increases skin thickness and texture. It neutralizes free radicals and therefore is a great weapon against ageing, especially photo-ageing.

Peptides

The skin consists mostly of collagen which is a protein comprised of long segments of amino acids.Collagen defines thickness and texture of the skin. With age, collagen breaks down creating short segments of amino acids. These molecules are called peptides.

When collagen is damaged by age and environmental factors, it is not fully replaced. When a cream containing peptides is applied, it can successfully minimize wrinkles and trigger skin to produce collagen.

The most commonly used peptide in skin care is Matrixyl (palmitoyl- or oligopeptide pentapeptide). It is recognized as a safer anti-ageing ingredient compared to Retinol (Vitamin A) as it does not irritate the skin.

Palmitoyl pentapeptide, known as Matrixyl 3000 includes two paired amino acids attached to a fatty acid to promote absorption. Matrixyl triggers the formation of several important skin components, including elastin and collagen.
