Collagen producing peptides for skin care

The way skin ages depends on several factors including temperature and genetic inheritance. We cannot avoid these natural conditions that cause aging skin but we can be skin smart and avoid long exposure to the sun, one of the main causes of aging skin. We can also avoid smoking that causes more wrinkled skin.

Unfortunately, the aging of skin starts in our twenties when reduced collagen production causes thinning of skin and fine wrinkles. This, along with decreased concentration of glycosaminoglycans, results in dry skin and slower removal of dead skin cells. There’s also less spring-back to skin due to a loss of elastic fibers.

Today, there’s a remedy for wrinkles treatment. A new class of anti-aging agents known as collagen-producing peptides for skin was tested. An example is a wrinkle treatment cream that contains 5% Matrixyl, a pentapeptide, a chain of five amino acids and a blend of anti-aging ingredients. This formula penetrates skin, triggers collagen production, and rebuilds skin by plumping up wrinkles from below the surface. It restores the tensile strength and resilience to skin that has been lost over the years.

There are a great number of cosmesceutical products available on the market said to repair wrinkles and help the aging process of skin.

The study was done on volunteers that used the wrinkle treatment cream twice a day for three months. The effect on wrinkles was analyzed and the results show that at the end of 12 weeks there was a reduction in wrinkles of up to 78 percent. Unlike other procedures to decrease wrinkles there were no distressing side effects. 

Today many women are lining up for plastic surgery or flocking to get Botox injections which are invasive procedures and not without complications. These are radical ways of anti-aging skin care treatment. It makes more sense to use cosmeceuticals to erase wrinkled skin.
