This gel helps to smooth and hydrate while also firming skin and promoting collagen for short term and long term protection against wrinkles. Hyaluronic Acid gel is used to hydrate while key peptide ingredients contained in Argireline & Matrixyl 3000 plus the tightening effect of Algae extract, help work to restore and maintain a youthful appearance over time.
This product should be used in place of the Hydrating Gel, but applied just the same to damp skin and followed by moisturizer.

Active Ingredients: Distilled water, Sodium Hyaluronate (Hyaluronic Acid), Argireline (Water (and) Acetyl Hexapeptide-8), Matrixyl 3000 (Palmitoyl Oligopeptide (and) Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7), Algae Extract (and) Pullulan, Leuconostoc/Radish Root Ferment Filtrate (natural preservative).
Hyaluronic Acid (HA) is a polysaccharide and a compound that occurs naturally in every tissue of the body, with the highest concentrations occurring in tissues such as skin, cartilage and eyes. Providing protection to cell structures, HA is the natural gel between skin cells that serves as a water reservoir for the cells. As we age, skin loses hyaluronic acid and the ability to hold sufficient water in this reservoir. Feeding new hyaluronic acid to skin may help hydrate skin's intercellular reservoir, raising skin's moisture level, and smoothing down age lines.
Topically, Hyaluronic Acid has water storing properties, making it an ideal swelling agent and lubricant, leading to a perceptible and visible improvement of skin condition. It forms a thin transparent visco elastic surface film that helps to preserve the characteristics of youthful and healthy skin: suppleness, elasticity and tone.
Argireline NP is a peptide (acetyl hexapeptide-8) resulting in the reduction of the degree of existing facial wrinkles and demonstrated effectiveness against their development with regular use.
Matrixyl™ 3000 is an anti-aging product. "Matrikine" is the term proposed for fragmented matrix peptides able to regulate cell activity. Matrixyl™ 3000 contains two matrikines, Pal-GHK and Pal-GQPR. Acting as messengers of cutaneous restructuration and repair, these two peptides work synergistically to restore and maintain the skin's youthful appearance.
