As our skin matures, it undergoes various changes that can lead to a loss of vitality and contour. Factors such as decreased dermal-epidermal cell cross-linking, collagen degradation, and slowed-down cell renewal contribute to the sagging of facial contours. BIODROGA's 5% PEPTIDE SERUM addresses these concerns with a potent blend of active ingredients designed to rejuvenate and repair the skin.
Acetyl Tetrapeptide-2 - A Firming Solution
At the heart of BIODROGA's serum is Acetyl Tetrapeptide-2, a powerhouse ingredient that targets the synthesis of essential proteins like fibulin-5 and LOXL1. These proteins play a crucial role in the correct formation of elastin fibres, promoting firmness and elasticity. By stimulating the synthesis of elastin and collagen, this peptide contributes to improving the structure of the extracellular matrix, providing the skin with stability and a firmed facial contour.
Building Blocks for Skin Renewal
Complementing the effects of Acetyl Tetrapeptide-2, the combination of Acetyl-Tetrapeptide-11 and Acetyl-Tetrapeptide-9 stimulates the synthesis of lumican and collagen. Lumican is essential for the proper arrangement of collagen fibres, strengthening the density of the extracellular network. This powerful combination reduces wrinkles, enhances skin firmness, and adds density, promoting a more youthful appearance.
Pentalactine - Harnessing Epigenetic's for Skin Renewal
Acknowledging the impact of age, lifestyle, and environment on skin vitality, BIODROGA incorporates Pentalactine inspired by epigenetics. This bioactive ingredient, encapsulated in a shea butter-based transport system, promotes skin renewal. Clinical studies demonstrate that regular use of Pentalactine leads to more even and smooth skin, combating the signs of ageing at the epigenetic level.
Glutathione Mimetic Peptide - Antioxidant Defence
Drawing inspiration from the body's master antioxidant, glutathione, the patented Glutathione Mimetic Peptide counters free radical damage and inhibits glycation. By regulating important enzymes and reducing processes such as peptide peroxidation, this dipeptide strengthens the skin's resistance, preventing the formation of Advanced Glycation Endproducts (AGEs) and promoting overall skin health.
Ferulic Acid - Nature’s Antioxidant Shield
Rich in ferulic acid, the serum inhibits the formation of reactive oxygen species and neutralises free-radicals, protecting the skin from oxidative stress caused by factors like atmospheric oxygen and UV light. Additionally, ferulic acid absorbs metal ions that accelerate oxidative processes, contributing to the prevention of lipid peroxidation.
Skin-Tightening and Hydrating Agents
Natural multiple sugar Pullulan forms a fine film on the skin during drying, providing a noticeable tightening effect. Biosaccharide Gum-1, a biotechnologically derived active ingredient, significantly increases skin moisture levels and forms a protective, hydrating film that softens lines and wrinkles.
Application and Treatment
BIODROGA recommends applying the 5% PEPTIDE SERUM in the morning and evening after cleansing and toning, followed by skin-specific final care. For professional treatments, the serum can be used with devices such as ultrasound, needling, and after radio frequency applications. When used in conjunction with the SUN HIGH UV PROTECTION CREAM SPF 50, use the serum as a base layer during your morning routine, and then apply the sun care cream.
Impact and Consulting
The BIODROGA 5% PEPTIDE SERUM offers a range of benefits, including support for the structuring and cross-linking of the extracellular matrix, a lifting effect that re-contours facial contours, optimised skin volume and density, a plump and firm appearance, softened lines and wrinkles, visibly smoothed skin, and valuable antioxidant protection.
In the quest for youthful, revitalised skin, BIODROGA's 5% PEPTIDE SERUM emerges as a powerful solution, addressing the multifaceted challenges of maturing skin. With a strategic combination of advanced peptides, bioactive ingredients, and antioxidants, this serum promises to elevate your skincare routine, offering visible results and a renewed sense of skin vitality.
