Hyaluronic Collagen 1oz.

Hyaluronic Collagen Serum

Collagen is like the scaffolding that helps skin stay firm and plump. Hyaluronic Acid helps skin increase moisture and flexibility. Both are so important for healthy and young-looking skin that we have combined them into one super collagen and hyaluronic stimulating blend.

Collagen is a long sequence of amino acids and breaking it down produces short amino acid sequences, aka peptides. These peptides “signal” to the skin that collagen was lost and that new collagen should be produced. So, putting collagen-fragment-identical peptides on the skin might trick it into thinking that new collagen is needed. Tripeptide-29 is biometric tripeptide, sourced from Glutamic Acid (a proteinogenic amino acid found in seaweed). It stimulates fibronectin, collagen, and elastin, which results in an increase in the appearance of skin firmness and a reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Naturally derived Vegetable Collagen (protein fibers from corn, soy, and wheat) that mimic the amino acid composition of animal collagen is another of our powerful ingredients included in this amazing blend! It has the same form filling, plumping, hydrating, and conditioning benefits as animal-derived collagen.

Hyaluronic Acid (HA) is naturally produced within the body. It is most commonly found between skin cells, providing the skin with moisture, plumpness, firmness, and suppleness. However, it starts depleting in our 20s and has been found to significantly diminish s we age, by as much as 50% by our 50s.

Hyaluronic Acid (HA) can attract and hold up to 1000 times its own weight of moisture in the skin. This serum incorporates a concentrated blend of four different kinds of HA* with different molecular weights to infuse beneficial hydration into all the skin layers to:

1. Repair skin’s compromised moisture barrier to combat dryness, aging, and breakouts, especially from harsh products, post peeling procedures, etc.
2. Instantly plump and slightly tighten skin to reduce wrinkles and fine lines, while imparting a healthy glow on the skin.

The 4 different kinds of HA in this blend:
1.  Sodium Hyaluronate (SH) is a salt form of Hyaluronic Acid. SH is more stable and has a lower molecular size so it is able to penetrate deeper in the skin.

2. Hydrolysis (Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid) allows HA to be split into smaller fragments of intermediate molecular weight.
3. Cross-linked HA (Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer) offers the stability of salt and the humectant properties of higher-weight HAs.
4. Acetylated HA (Sodium Acetylated Hyaluronate) has both lipophilic and hydrophilic properties for guaranteed prolonged hydration. It has also been shown to inhibit MMP-1, which degrades collagen in mature skin.

Layering serums is fun and beneficial to the skin. During the day, Vitamin C is the first layer. At night, Alpha Beta X is the first layer. Then, use Retinol and/or other boosting serums.
