inside ingredients glymed plus’s intense peptide skin recovery complex A hybrid cocktail of botanicals and peptides provides a knockout against aging. palmitoyl pentapeptide-3 This peptide stimulates the development of new collagen and elastin in the dermal layer of the skin, says Kimberly J. Heathman, biochemist and executive vice president of GlyMed Plus. Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-3 noticeably increases skin thickness and improves the texture and appearance of aging skin. acetyl hexapeptide-3 Acetyl Hexapeptide-3 is an anti-aging peptide that interferes with the release of the neurotransmitters that initiate and control the intensity of facial muscle contractions.With continued use,the appearance of existing lines and wrinkles improve,and the formation of new lines and wrinkles can also be prevented, says Heathman. palmitoyl oligopeptide Palmitoyl Oligopeptide helps to attract cells to sites and contributes to the reconstruction of the dermis in wound healing. “This peptide induces the synthesis of the other macromolecules in the connective tissue of the dermis—restoring its elasticity and firmness and its degree of hydration,” says Heathman. Palmitoyl Oligopeptide also produces results similar to Retinoic Acid— increasing cellular turnover, without irritation. sea whip Marine species have been interacting chemically for billions of years and it is no wonder that many natural products with such high therapeutic properties are derived from the ocean. Sea Whip helps to reduce the visible redness in conditions such as Rosasea, and other clinical skin sensitivities. strong anti-inﬂammatory, regenerative, soothing, anti-histamine, as well as hypoallergenic and immunostimulating properties. vitamin e (tocopherol) Tocopherol is a natural skin vitamin important in protecting the body’s cells from the oxidative damage of environmental assaults from smoke, pollution, harsh chemicals and UV rays.Vitamin E is an antioxidant and the primary defense against oxidative degradation from harmful free radicals, says Heathman.Vitamin E is also skinconditioning, reducing roughness, cracking and skin irritation. n palmitoyl tetrapeptide-3 Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-3 markedly suppresses the body’s production of interleukins, the chemical messengers that trigger the body’s acute inﬂammatory response. Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide3 can restore wound healing equilibrium by increasing healing potential and promoting faster tissue regeneration. glycyrrhiza uralensis (licorice) root extract Licorice Root Extract is one of nature’s most gentle yet concentrated active plant extracts.
