The Peptide Complex Serum is meticulously formulated to rejuvenate the skin by leveraging bioactive ingredients that work synergistically at the molecular level to boost collagen production, enhance skin firmness, reduce fine lines, and provide deep hydration.

1. Peptide Complex (5%)

The Peptide Complex includes peptides such as Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1, and Matrixyl 3000.

• Collagen Stimulation: Peptides mimic the body's natural signaling molecules, stimulating fibroblasts to produce collagen, elastin, and glycosaminoglycans by activating the Transforming Growth Factor-beta (TGF-β) pathway.
• Skin Firmness: Increased collagen and elastin production enhances the structural integrity of the extracellular matrix (ECM), improving skin elasticity and firmness.
• Wrinkle Reduction: By promoting ECM components, peptides help to fill in wrinkles and fine lines, leading to a smoother skin appearance.

2. Hyaluronic Acid (2%)

Hyaluronic Acid (HA) is a high molecular weight glycosaminoglycan composed of repeating disaccharide units of N-acetylglucosamine and glucuronic acid.

• Hydration and Plumping: HA's ability to bind up to 1,000 times its weight in water provides intense hydration, increasing skin turgor and reducing the appearance of fine lines.
• Cell Proliferation: Interacts with CD44 receptors on keratinocytes and fibroblasts, promoting cell proliferation and migration essential for tissue repair.

3. Squalane (2%)

Squalane is a saturated hydrocarbon derived from squalene, a natural component of skin sebum.

• Lightweight Hydration: Penetrates the skin easily, providing deep moisturization without clogging pores.
• Enhances Elasticity: Integrates into the lipid matrix of the skin, improving barrier function and elasticity.
• Antioxidant Properties: Protects skin lipids from peroxidation, maintaining skin health.

4. Vitamin C (1%)

Present as Ascorbic Acid, Vitamin C is a potent antioxidant.

• Collagen Synthesis: Acts as a cofactor for prolyl hydroxylase and lysyl hydroxylase, enzymes essential for stabilizing and cross-linking collagen fibers.
• Brightening Effect: Inhibits tyrosinase, reducing melanin production and leading to a brighter complexion.
• Antioxidant Protection: Neutralizes reactive oxygen species (ROS), preventing oxidative damage.

5. Glycerin (3%)

Glycerin is a trihydroxy alcohol that functions as a humectant.

• Moisture Retention: Attracts water molecules, enhancing hydration in the stratum corneum via aquaporin-3 (AQP3) channels.
• Barrier Enhancement: Stabilizes intercellular lipids, improving skin barrier function and preventing transepidermal water loss (TEWL).

6. Aloe Vera Extract (2%)

Contains bioactive compounds such as acemannan.

• Soothing Properties: Reduces inflammation by inhibiting the cyclooxygenase (COX) pathway, decreasing prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) production.
• Hydration: Forms a protective barrier on the skin, maintaining moisture levels.
• Skin Healing: Stimulates fibroblast activity and collagen synthesis.

7. Green Tea Extract (0.5%)

Rich in Epigallocatechin Gallate (EGCG).

• Antioxidant Activity: Scavenges ROS, protecting skin cells from oxidative stress.
• Anti-inflammatory Effects: Modulates NF-κB pathway, reducing pro-inflammatory cytokine production.

8. Allantoin (0.5%)

A diureide of glyoxylic acid.

• Cell Regeneration: Stimulates keratinocyte proliferation, promoting skin renewal.
• Soothing Effect: Reduces irritation by inhibiting transient receptor potential (TRP) channels.
