Collagen Lz1 Peptide Hyaluronic Acid Matrine Caviar Extract Tocopherol Retinol Elastin Collagen, Lz1 Peptide, Hyaluronic Acid, Matrine, Caviar Extract, Tocopherol, Retinol, Elastin Collagen is a big structural protein that your body uses to keep skin firm and bouncy. Despite the marketing, topically applied collagen doesn't "refill" the collagen in your skin. The molecule is too big to pass through your skin barrier so intact Collagen physically can't get past the surface. What it actually does in your skincare is work as a humectant and film-former: it binds water, lays down a light moisturizing film, and reduces water loss from the surface. This helps make skin feel smoother and temporarily plumper. This ingredient has been found safe for use in cosmetics with clinical studies showing no irritation, sensitization, or phototoxicity. It's typically used at low concentrations (often a fraction of a percent up to a few percent). Collagen will not increase sun sensitivity, but you should always wear sunscreen during the day. Learn more about hydrolyzed collagen or soluble collagen. According to the manufacturer, LZ1 Peptide is a lab-designed antimicrobial peptide made up of 15 amino acids. Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a glycosaminoglycan (basically a long sugar chain) that your skin already makes on its own. In your skin, HA lives in the extracellular matrix and acts as the body's moisture reservoir. Topically, HA is a humectant that binds water and helps skin look more plump, smooth, and hydrated. The only catch is that HA isn't a single thing; it actually comes in a wide range of molecular weights (~50 - 2,000+ kDA) and size matters. Some clinical evidence links low molecular weight versions to improved wrinkle depth, elasticity, anti-inflammatory effects, and barrier repair. This is why the best HA serums blend the two sizes together so you get the best of both worlds. The majority of cosmetic HA is produced by bacterial fermentation, typically using Streptococcus or Bacillus strains. Typical use levels in skincare sit around 0.1-2%. A clinical study using a 0.2% low-molecular weight HA gel showed improvement in facial seborrheic dermatitis with excellent tolerance. These are some other common types of Hyaluronic Acid: Matrine is an antioxidant. Caviar extract comes from the roe (or internal egg) of fish. This ingredient is rich in Omega-3's, antioxidants, amino acids, vitamin B12, iron, and magnesium. These components give it skin conditioning properties. A study from 2020 found a component of caviar extract, docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), protects skin against UV-B skin aging. Unless a company discloses more information, the source of this ingredient is unknown. It can be extracted from sturgeon, paddlefish, salmon, trout, carp, or more. According to animal organizations, true caviar is only extracted from the sturgeon fish. Caviar can be extracted from the fish using several methods: Tocopherol is a fat-soluble antioxidant known as Vitamin E. You'll find this ingredient in the vast majority of skincare (for good reason). It works to neutralize free radicals, or unstable molecules generated by UV exposure, pollution, and other en No written reviews yet. Be the first to review this product.
