 Anti-Aging Peptides Acetyl Octapeptide-3 & Oat Peptides are two peptide ingredients found in Apriori Beauty's Cellular Age Advantage products. Peptides are short sequences of amino acids linked together. They are very similar in structure to proteins, but are shorter in length; peptides are formed by the combination of two or more amino acids, while proteins are made up of fifty or more amino acids linked together. Peptides are involved in a wide range of biological processes, including cell signaling, structural support, and immune system support. Peptides are also becoming widely recognized for their potential in both preventing and addressing premature skin aging. How do peptides work to refresh aging skin? Peptides work by attaching to a receptor on the surface of a skin cell and then signaling that cell to perform a certain function. Because different cellular receptors are unique to specific peptides, peptides can be chosen that both fit a particular receptor and send signals that generate a desired result. In cosmetics, peptides are know to help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles through a variety of mechanisms, including stimulating collagen synthesis and blocking the transmission of nerve signals to facial muscles. The peptides found in Apriori Beauty’s Celloxylin products are Acetyl Octapeptide-3 and Oat Peptides. These peptide ingredients are clinically shown to help reduce the depth and appearance of wrinkles, especially in the areas around the forehead, eyes, and mouth. Posted on April 18, 2012 |
