Power Peptides is formulated with four types of clinically proven peptide technologies, each with potent concentrations that work synergistically to firm and restore skin's vitality. Contains 3% Matrixyl 3000 (Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 and Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7), one of the most scientifically tested peptide duos known for its ability to reduce wrinkles and achieve younger-looking skin. According to proven studies, applying 3% Matrixyl 3000 twice daily for two months significantly reduces wrinkle depth and density, while improving skin texture, elasticity, and tone, and also achieving a lifting effect. It also contains 2% of Matrixyl Synthe'6 (Palmitoyl Tripeptide - 38), the new generation of Matrixyl technology, which increases the production of 6 main components of the skin matrix (collagen I, III, IV, Fibronectin, Hyaluronic Acid and Laminin) resulting in more even skin with fewer wrinkles, especially on the forehead and eye contour area (crow's feet). The lesser-known, high-performance peptide is TEGO® PEP 4-17 (Tetrapeptide-21), a peptide that stimulates the extracellular matrix, creating extra-boosting activity in the production of collagen, hyaluronic acid, and fibronectin. TEGO® PEP 4-17 has been clinically proven to work at 0.5%, and at Geek & Gorgeous, we've injected a potent 4% concentration of Power Peptides (also used in the in vivo test on 60 people) to increase skin elasticity and smoothness. The fourth peptide technology we include is an encapsulated copper peptide (Palmitoyl heptapeptide-14 copper) called X50 Antiaging. Its main feature is that it uses a unique high-tech system, where the peptide is encapsulated in a biocompatible polymer shell, and outside this shell is another peptide (Heptapeptide-15 palmitate). This technologically targeted peptide has a strong affinity for fibroblast receptors and guides the copper peptide to the correct location in the skin, which is the collagen-producing fibroblast cell. Due to its advanced delivery system, X50 Antiaging is effective at very small levels—the clinically proven and recommended amount of 0.001%, which is the amount we use in this serum. Apply a few drops all over your face after cleansing and before moisturizer. It can be used around the eyes and in the same routine as any other active ingredient (including acids and retinoids), either morning and/or night. Advice For a powerful advanced anti-aging routine, combine Power Peptides with A-Game Retinal Serum. Apply Power Peptides first, then follow with A-Game and finish with your favorite moisturizer. Power Peptides has a superbly hydrating texture, so you may not need a hydrating serum at the same time as application.
