DMAE/ESTRIOL/GHK-CU/HYALURONIC ACID BIOPEPTIDE 3%/0.3%/ 0.2%/1.5% - 30 gram Cream
GHK-Cu is a naturally occurring copper complex that was first identified in human plasma. Copper peptides are small, naturally occurring protein fragments that have a high affinity for copper ions, which are critical to normal body function. Since its discovery in 1973, GHK-Cu established itself as a powerful protective and regenerative ingredient, which is currently widely used in skin and hair products. It stimulates blood vessel and nerve outgrowth, increases collagen, elastin, and glycosaminoglycan synthesis, as well as supports the function of dermal fibroblasts. It then plays a significant role in signaling tissue remodeling which removes damaged/scarred tissue and generates new, healthy tissue. However, these positive effects decline with age because the concentration of GHK-Cu in the body decreases with age.
South Lake Pharmacy compounds GHK-Cu in a Biopeptide Biocosmetic base specifically designed to help tackle wrinkles once and for all! This advanced phosphate based emulsion system is packed with high concentrations of the two biopeptides palmitoyl tripeptide-3 and palmitoyl pentapeptide-3. This is an elegant cream designed for cosmetic facial use.
The key molecule involved in skin moisture is hyaluronic acid (HA) that has a unique capacity in retaining water. There are multiple sites for the control of HA synthesis, deposition, cell and protein association, and degradation, reflecting the complexity of HA metabolism. The enzymes that synthesize or catabolize HA and HA receptors responsible for many of the functions of HA are all multigene families with distinct patterns of tissue expression. Understanding the metabolism of HA in the different layers of the skin and the interactions of HA with other skin components will facilitate the ability to modulate skin moisture in a rational manner. |
Up-to-date, it is established that GHK-Cu is able to:
-Tighten loose skin and reverse thinning of aged skin.
-Repair protective skin barrier proteins.
-Improve skin firmness, elasticity, and clarity.
-Reduce fine lines, depth of wrinkles, and improve the structure of aged skin.
-Smooth rough skin.
-Reduce photodamage, mottled hyperpigmentation, skin spots, and lesions.
-Improve overall skin appearance.
-Stimulate wound healing.
-Protect skin cells from UV radiation.
-Reduce inflammation and free radical damage.
-Increase hair growth and thickness, enlarge hair follicle size.
Treatment of skin aging with topical estrogens.
After treatment for 6 months, elasticity and firmness of the skin had markedly improved and the wrinkle depth and pore sizes had decreased by 61 to 100% in both groups. Furthermore, skin moisture had increased and the measurement of wrinkles using skin profilometry, revealed significant, or even highly significant, decreases of wrinkle depth in the estradiol and the estriol groups, respectively. On immunohistochemistry, significant increases of Type III collagen labeling were combined with increased numbers of collagen fibers at the end of the treatment period. As to hormone levels, only those of PRL had increased significantly and no systemic hormonal side effects were noted.
