Collagen looks like a rope, it has 3 chains wrapped around each other forming a triple helix. This gives incredible tensile strength to the skin. Seven plant-based neuropeptides enhance the skin’s structural integrity from the inside out, promoting smoother, more resilient-looking skin. Finally, soothing and brightening botanicals impart an ageless glow. This innovative formula contains plant-derived collagen to help boosts skin structure. It’s a plant-based based collagen blend from rice, soy, carrot, quinoa, and ginseng. Collagen fibres are synthesized primarily by the fibroblasts in the deeper layers of the skin. This is why replacement must happen orally. Yes the product is tested that heavy metal concentrations are below acceptable regulatory thresholds (lead, arsenic, cadmium, mercury).

Orally consumed collagen improves collagen uptake in the dermis. Collagen topically applied doesn’t penetrate the epidermis as the molecule is too large. It just acts as a moisturiser in this setting. Formulyst’s new Anti-Aging Concentrate is a fragrance free, highly concentrated formula that conditions your complexion and helps reduce the appearance of age spots, wrinkles, and fine lines. This serum contains Matrixyl 3000, a peptide complex composed of the matrikines palmitoyl tripeptide-1 and palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7. These two peptides work synergistically to restore and maintain the skin’s youthful appearance by signaling to cells to produce more collagen. Numerous studies have proven the anti-aging and anti-wrinkle efficacy of Matrixyl 3000. Ole Henriksen Truth Serum is said to help brighten, firm, and fight signs of aging thanks to sodium ascorbyl phosphate, a precursor of ascorbic acid (pure vitamin C). Vitamin C helps the skin combat free radicals, serves as a cofactor for two enzymes involved in the biosynthesis of collagen, and inhibits the formation of dark spots. Ole Henriksen Truth Serum also contains hydrolyzed collagen, which is simply collagen that has been broken down into its amino acids so that it is absorbed better by the skin.The glycine and proline conc. is 10 to 20 times higher than in other proteins. As a result, this type of marine collagen offers nutri-functional properties that cannot be found in other protein sources. Marine collagen are Type 1 collagen peptides. This is the most abundant in the human body and is found in our skin, hair, bones, tendons and ligaments.

It primarily tastes of watermelon/coconut water (sweeter option) or peach/pineapple water (lightly caffeinated option). The product is meant to be taken indefinitely (give or take periodic breaks), so there may be some reversal in benefits if stopped completely.The 3 month program is intended to be the minimum initial duration to allow for benefits to be seen.
