You've probably seen more than a couple of these so-called "best care face," says fluctuated through newspapers, magazines, television and even online: ominous photos of hypodermic needles on the side made of harmless, even innocent-looking containers of cream.
Your message is simple: cosmetic topical lotion promises the same wrinkle relaxing and anti-aging results of some expensive wrinkle filling injections like Restalyne, Juva Derm, or even Botox.
But canto offer serious? If you are skeptical about what you read or see, you're not alone. Not surprisingly, some doctors also question these claims and their promises.
The bottom line is that if these facial care products could achieve the same thing as a medical procedure, drugs and cosmetics would not be - and this is what we take into account when deciding whether or not to buy.
Some of the best skin care anti-aging technologies on the basis of compounds called to firePentapeptides - small groups of long-chain amino acids, such as chemical messengers throughout the body. Among the most popular skin care creams with these ingredients include Amino Genesis DERMacai and Regenerist.
According to dermatologists, and even if there are no published clinical studies showing that provide, say the experts involved in skin care product testing, there is a lot of science behind the technology pentapeptide treatment.
"It was a very strongFamily tree is in the studio - we were hoping not only to find the next in the pot and we really look at the scientific and medical evidence, before we started the road with these care products, "said Lauren Thaman Hodges, director of beauty for Science Olay skin products for anti-aging.
Research on pentapeptides was originally performed in relation to wound healing. To heal as part of the body's natural response to help the skin, has published medical studies have shown that peptidesare mainly to help improve your skin cells produce more collagen.
Collagen is the key
However, collagen is not just for the healing of small wounds. It also plays a significant role in how your skin ages. Collagen is the support structure, a young company that our skin looks. If the levels are generous, our skin looks young and rejuvenated. When the level drops, we lose the support and sagging and wrinkles begin to form.
During slack-fill injections maytemporarily to fill the gaps, some dermatologists believe that topical application of these peptides could also help the skin to make more collagen itself out. This would have a "fill" similar to the anti-wrinkle injections, but without the needle fear!
But until then, the addition of synthetic peptides with a fatty acid - essential for entry into the deeper layers of the skin - Olay has developed the connection palmitoyl pentapeptide-3. DERMacai uses a similar complex known as PalmitoylOligopeptides. Both companies claim that this increases the production of collagen and firm, younger looking skin rejuvenated within 2 to 8 weeks.
Director of Olay, Lauren Hodges notes: "I believe it is more effective than a medical procedure - say that many women are not ready (a needle) so long as it is, or if they have never really ready, give them an alternative to skin care anti-aging technology that you can use at home. "
As spokesperson for Olay Dave Owenproposed, even if their ads, the question: "And 'better than Botox?" what is really asking: "And 'better than Botox for you?"
"We're just saying that if you're not fully prepared for injection, then the ingredients of these products can really make a difference in how your skin looks - and is, of course, the final results that count."
They argue, however, that this skin care products contain much more than pentapeptides. These include herbs, mineralswith vitamins and anti-aging potential. This is true, at least in the case of DERMacai, originally not developed for anti-aging purposes, but for the treatment of stretch marks - since the stretch marks are the result of divide and collagen fibers break - its researchers suspected dermatologist discovered that a peptide involved in the production of collagen and wound healing may also help repair stretch marked skin.
But it was not long before the women soon found themselves, that this compoundcould actually help build collagen reserves anywhere they are needed - even small wrinkles around the eyes, mouth and forehead.
And the rest is skin care anti-aging story.
