Alpha Lipoic
Acid:
A powerful antioxidant - part of your
first-line of defense against free radicals. It
neutralizes free radicals in both the fatty and
watery regions of cells. Alpha-lipoic acid also
plays an important role in the synergism of
antioxidants; It directly recycles and extends
the metabolic life spans of vitamin C,
glutathione, and coenzyme Q10, and it indirectly
renews vitamin E.

Antarcitine:
Discovered in nature, it protects a bacteria
found in the Antarctic against the inhospitable
environment. The isolated glycoprotein reduces
wrinkles by stimulating the regeneration of
collagen I and IV, and elastin, as well as the
growth of fibroblasts. In addition it plays a
versatile role in protecting the skin against
extremely dry and cold conditions. It protects
the skin, preventing dryness and loss of
elasticity, which are also major factors in the
formation of wrinkles.

Co-Enzyme Q10
(Co-Q10):
Present in all human cells and responsible for
the production of the body?s own energy. Acts as
an antioxidant which means it helps in
anti-aging fight. As we get older our ability to
produce it naturally decreases, showing signs of
aging. In most people over thirty, levels of
CoQ10 in the skin are below optimum, resulting
in lesser ability to produce collagen, elastin
and other important skin molecules. CoQ10 boosts
skin repair and regeneration, reduce free
radical damage, and is a small molecule that can
relatively easily penetrate into skin cells.

Collagen:
The main protein of connective tissue in animals
and the most abundant protein in mammals.
Collagen has great tensile strength, and is the
main component of fascia, cartilage, ligaments,
tendons, bone and teeth. it is responsible for

degradation leads to wrinkles that accompany
aging.

Glycolic Acid
(or Hydroxyacetic Acid):
A colorless, odorless and hydroscopic
crystalline solid that is highly soluble in
water and related solvents. Glycolic acid is
isolated from sugarcane, sugar beets, pineapple,
cantaloupe, and unripe grapes. Due to its
excellent capability to penetrate skin, glycolic
acid is most often used as a chemical peel
performed by a dermatologist. It is used to
improve the skin's appearance and texture. It
may reduce wrinkles, acne scarring,
hyper pigmentation and improve many other skin
conditions. Once applied, glycolic acid reacts
with the upper layer of the epidermis, weakening
the binding properties of the lipids that hold
the dead skin cells together. This allows the
outer skin to "dissolve" revealing the
underlying, healthier, smoother,
brighter-looking skin.

Pentapeptide-3
(Matrixyl):
It consists of five amino acids linked together
and attached to a fatty acid to enhance oil
solubility for the sake of better skin
penetration. Researchers found that when added
to the culture of fibroblasts (the key skin
cells), palmitoyl pentapeptide-3 stimulated the
synthesis of the key constituents of the skin
matrix: collagen, elastin and glucosamnoglycans.

Beneficial effects on the skin include decrease
in dryness and smoothing of wrinkles and scaly
skin. Studies have shown that Squalene has a
stimulatory effect on the healing process which
is thought to be due to its oxidizing effect. It
is also synthesized in the human liver, a
deficiency of which results in dry skin and
premature aging. It has been shown to have
beneficial effects in the management of
dermatitis and skin cancer. Squalene makes up
12% of sebum, a natural product expressed by
human sebaceous glands to moisturize hair
follicles. Squalene has a natural affinity to
skin, with a natural spreadability and skin
