The Science of Aging Gracefully

Argeline Peptide: relaxing facial muscles for smoother skin

Peptides, as we know, are short chains of amino acids and the building blocks of proteins, or as I like to explain, “the bossy ingredient.” They send signals to encourage certain skin processes. Argeline peptide, a cutting-edge ingredient, works by targeting the neurotransmitters that control muscle contractions, similar to Botox. However, unlike Botox, argeline peptide is applied topically and offers a milder alternative. 

HPR Retinoic Acid Ester: a gentle approach to retinoids

Let’s dive into the science behind HPR! Did you know that HPR, or Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate, is a retinoic acid ester? Now, that might sound like a mouthful, but it’s actually a fascinating aspect of this up-and-coming retinoid.

Retinoic acid is the active form of vitamin A that our skin cells need to function properly. It plays a crucial role in regulating cell turnover, promoting collagen production, and maintaining skin health. However, using retinoic acid directly can sometimes be too harsh for our skin, leading to irritation and dryness.

This is where HPR comes in. As a retinoic acid ester, HPR is a more stable and less irritating derivative of retinoic acid. It’s designed to be easily absorbed by the skin and converted into retinoic acid within the skin cells themselves. This conversion process allows HPR to provide similar benefits to retinoic acid, but with less potential for irritation.

So what you’re getting is smoother, brighter, and more even skin tone, with anti-aging benefits to wow you. 

Thanks to ongoing advancements in skincare research, we have access to a variety of cutting-edge ingredients and technologies that can effectively combat the signs of aging. Peptides like argeline peptide and HPR retinoic acid esters are not new but are the forefront of these breakthroughs with new formulas that offering promising results in the quest for youthful skin for both our clients and our own faces.
