Peptides in Skin Care Products

By S.G. Hutton

Skin Care Product Ingredients today include some of the most effective technology for anti aging and skin rejuvenation. Some of our specialists favorite ingredients include, but are not limited to: glycolic acid, vitamin c (stabilized), hyaluronic acid and now, peptides!

Why Peptides? As we age, environmental factors, hormones, sun damage etc. cause our skin to produce less collagen and elastin. It is collagen that supports the structure of our skin making it firm and resilient. Glycolic acid has the ability to stimulate collagen but must be carefully selected in skin care products (often buffered down so much it is ineffective) but higher ph products such as Jan Marini bioclear cream and bioglycolic eye cream are highly effective due to the combination of high percentage ingredients.

The recent development of Peptides (fragments of proteins) further enhance the ability to stimulate collagen, allowing us to offset many of the signs of aging.

There are many types of peptides (some more effective then others) and finding it at the bottom of your skin care ingredient list, likely means the product contains such a minimal amount. However, the other ingredients may have benefits to address skin rejuvenation so don't let that deter you unless you are looking for a fairly concentrated product. As clinical skin specialists we research and personally use all ingredients based on our clients needs and expectations to be sure to provide them with products that produce results.

We have supplies a list of some different peptides and how they vary:

Tetra and Pentapeptides-(favorites) stimulate collagen to plump and firm the outermost layer of the skin. Relax facial muscles that contribute to expression lines and furrows. Examples: Rated *Favorites- Jan Marini Age Interv. Regeneration Booster, Dr. Schrammek High Perfection Eye Cream, Dermaquest Peptide Mobilizer.

Hexapeptides-Relax wrinkles to calm muscle contractions that contribute to our facial expressions that result as deep furrows and wrinkles.

Tripeptide- (SynAke Trademark)-Also relaxes facial muscles to offset facial expression lines/wrinkles.

Copper Peptides- Healing and repairing peptides to active the skins healing abilities while stimulating collagen. Ex: (Neova Creme de la Copper & most Neova products).

Many refer to Peptides as "Botox without the Pain". Botox is a relatively quick result to minimize lines and wrinkles, that is not always without side effects, bruising etc. Peptides are a non invasive alternative by which the results are cumulative and continue to improve skin over time. Jan Marini Regeneration Booster also contains Telomerase Enzyme. A unique anti aging ingredient that further compliments peptides and resets the cells "aging clocks".

The Extrinsic Factors

Understanding Intrinsic and Extrinsic Factors That Age Skin

By Crystal L Mazza

Understanding intrinsic and extrinsic factors. As we grow older, our skin grows older. For many people, the aging process is something that is barely understood. Anti aging products have flooded the market trying to convince consumers that they need to apply this cream, eat this food, or take this supplement in order to stop the skin aging process. At the heart of anti aging is education about the causes of skin aging over time.

There are two factor sets that cause skin aging. These sets are intrinsic and extrinsic aging factors. Intrinsic skin aging can be directly related to the "internal" processes that cause the skin to age. These processes are often referred to as the natural aging process. Extrinsic skin aging, on the other hand, includes the factors that can be controlled by a person in relation to aging and anti aging methods. Extrinsic skin aging refers to the external factors attributing the aging process.

Intrinsic skin aging occurs naturally over time. While the aging process, for skin, begins in the early 20's, the visible evidence of such aging is not clear until much later in life. The symptoms of intrinsic skin aging include fine lines, thin skin, hollowed cheeks, hollowed eyes, sagging facial skin, dry patches or areas on the face, hair loss and unwanted hair of the face.

Extrinsic skin aging begins immediately after birth. The elements surrounding the skin effect its growth and the aging process starts from the time a baby is born. External or environmental factors associated with aging skin include sun exposure, moisturization, diet, smoking, drinking, drug use and air pollution.

In order to combat the effects of skin aging, anti aging products often center on working from the outside of the skin in. But, working from the inside out on the extrinsic skin aging process may be just as helpful if not more helpful for slowing the overall aging process. For adults, eating a well balanced diet, consuming 6-8 glasses of water a day, wearing sunscreen and refraining from the use or overuse of drugs, alcohol and cigarettes is a step in the anti aging direction.

For intrinsic aging, anti aging methods can be bit more advanced. Skin aging will occur no matter how well and fit your body and skin remains. To combat the inevitable, cosmetic surgery can be completed to life the sagging skin of the face, replace fat where sagging and hollowing of the skin is occurring and smoothing out the fine lines of the face with fat and other anti aging injections.

Life will inevitably cause us to grow older with time. Fighting the aging process with anti aging products is certainly one way to better the look and feel of skin as a reactionary course. The best methods, however, are preventative methods that start early in life and last an entire lifetime. Teaching children to wear sunscreen when going outside and to moisturize skin can be the best anti aging skin choice for generations to come and is certainly not a bad choice for those who are already well into the aging process.
