Matrixyl appears to have the same wrinkle smoothing action of SNAP-8, but with the additional of increase collagen production, and hyaluronic acid synthesis. This product looks about as close to BOTOX as a peptide can get. Here is a summary of its actions:
Matrixyl is the trademark name for palmitoyl pentapeptide-3, one of
the powerful peptide molecules found in the latest generation of
high-end anti wrinkle skin care products. This breakthrough ingredient
stimulates collagen production in the skin and can even give BOTOX[emoji768]
injections a run for their money in the anti wrinkle department.
Matryxil becomes even more effective when combined with other
peptides.
What is Matrixyl?
Matrixyl is a lipopeptide, a fatty acid mixed with amino acids. It is
also considered to be a synthetic isomer (an isomer is a molecule that
has an identical structure to another molecule but different atomic
components). The active element in Matrixyl is called Micro-collagen -
another peptide.
What does Matrixyl do?
Matrixyl was discovered through two branches of dermatological
research: the search for substances that accelerate healing skin
wounds and the study of what causes wrinkles. Similarly to copper
peptides, Matrixyl stimulates the lower layers of the skin to heal
themselves, thus accelerating the healing of wounds. Cells called
fibroblasts are responsible for knitting together wounds of the skin.
As you may know, as one ages wounds take longer to heal. This is
partially because fibroblasts slowly lose the capacity for collagen
production.
Matrixyl stimulates the "matrix" layers in the skin -- primarily
collagen and fibronectin. When stimulated, the skin produces more
collagen. Loss of collagen is what leads to thinning skin and the
wrinkling of newly inelastic skin. Matrixyl helps to counteract this
natural part of the aging process.
Is Matrixyl (palmitoyl pentapeptide-3) an effective anti wrinkle product?
Yes. In clinical studies, Matrixyl was shown to:
* increase overall collagen synthesis by up to 117%
* increase collagen IV synthesis by up to 327%
* increase hyaluronic acid synthesis by up to 267%
Deep wrinkles were reduced by half. Smaller wrinkles and fine lines
sometimes faded completely away. And what's even better, every
participant in the study showed noticeable improvement within two
weeks. The result was fewer wrinkles and younger-looking skin.
There are very few ingredients that show more promise and greater
effectiveness than Matrixyl.
