In the skin, Copper Peptide helps to:
1. Stimulate Collagen Formation, diminishing fine lines and firming the skin.
2. Stimulate Elastin Formation, cutting down on sagging and fine lines.
3. Stimulate the formation of the extracellular cement between cells, thus improving skin strength, cutting down on fragility.
4. Stimulate the formation of GAGS (glycosaminoglycans). This
helps to thicken the dermis resulting in a lessening of sagging and
helps firm the skin.
5. Increase blood vessel formation and oxygenation within the skin.
6. Act as a potent antioxidant by stimulating the enzymatic function of Superoxide Dismutase.
Skin Remodeling is the process that removes proteins
and older cells from the skin thus removing scars,
lesions, and wrinkles while smoothing the skin.
Increasing skin remodeling is the key producing a
biologically younger skin.
Copper-peptides help activate your natural repair and remodeling process that
rebuilds and renews skin, nails and hair. This helps reduce lines and wrinkles
without irritation and produces skin, nails and hair that are more youthful.
During aging, skin proteins accumulate damage from many
causes - sun damage, free radical injuries, natural aging, and so on.
Recent research has established that copper-peptide complexes
remove damaged proteins such as damaged collagen and elastin.
The old damaged protein is removed and replaced with new
collagen and elastin fibers. This removes scar tissue and
restores skin elasticity and reduces wrinkles. The activation
of such proteins may explain the potent scar reduction
properties of these copper peptide creams.
Copper-peptides also increase the skin's
regenerative processes - in addition to accelerating
removal of damaged protein in the skin, they stimulate skin
renewal without hydroxy acids or lasers, and help to produce
a better skin renewal with milder exfoliation or
various controlled skin damage methods. Copper
peptides enhances the skin's natural regenerative
responses by helping stimulate new capillary formation
(angiogenesis), increasing the biosynthesis of collagen,
elastin and the water-holding proteoglycans and
glycosaminoglycans.
Copper Peptides work well in conjunction with
exfoliating acids such as alpha and beta hydroxy (Salicylic Acid and
Glycolic Acid).
Clinical studies have found copper-peptides - such as used in skin
renewal creams - to be more effective in restoring the skin's collagen than
Vitamin C or retinoic acid (retin-A). Collagen and elastin are rebuilt, giving
you a firmer, more elastic skin. The skin's internal water-holding proteins are
increased (true moisturization), and the size of the skin's sexual pheromone
secreting apocrine glands are increased.
Copper-peptides help activate your skin's system that removes
damaged collagen and elastin from the skin. Furthermore,
copper-peptide creams have been proven faster and better than
Kinerase(TM) in improving skin texture, reducing blotchiness,
and reducing fine wrinkles. Microbiological
studies have found the creams to also inhibit the growth of
dangerous,pathogenic skin bacteria.
When creams containing copper-peptides are applied to the skin, only very small
amounts of the copper-peptides penetrate into the skin. Copper-peptides have passed
numerous safety tests. Scientific studies of copper-peptides have found
that the amount of copper taken into the body from such copper-peptide
creams is insignificant and does not raise total blood copper levels. However,
the microscopic amount of copper-peptide that does enter the skin's upper layer
is sufficient to help stimulate skin regeneration.
Because of their exceptional stability, Copper Peptides can be
used with hydroxy acids for skin renewal.
Combining a
Glycolic
Acid Peel or a
Glycolic
Acid Treatment Cream with a Copper Peptide product will help to stimulate
cell turnover and skin regeneration, thereby producing more vibrant and
smoother-looking skin even faster than with one product alone.
Exfoliation is a
proven skin regeneration treatment and combining an exfoliation product
with a Copper Peptide Product will speed your results.
Combining a Copper Peptide Product with a Glycolic Acid Product
will help to stimulate and speed collagen and elastin production, thereby
producing faster results for smoother-looking skin. Simply mix a small
amount of both together and apply a thin layer to the skin.
