A helper ingredient that's used as a co-emulsifier (meaning next to other emulsifiers in the formula it helps water and oil to mix) and as a stabilization agent for foams.

This means that Acetyl Dipeptide-1 Cetyl Ester can "signal" our skin cells to "relax" and it can instantly decrease skin irritations coming from heat, chemical stinging or mechanical stresses. Along with ceramides 4 and 7, they also play a vital role in epidermal integrity and serve as the main storage areas for linoleic acid (a fatty acid that's also very important for barrier repair). Limit sun exposure and ensure you apply minimum SPF 15 day cream every morning while using this product. It's believed that ceramide 1 plays a "binding role" in the lipid layers of the extracellular matrix. However, the packaging states you absolutely can layer on your usual serum and cream and it won’t affect the retinol’s efficacy.Therefore, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 is believed to be able to stimulate collagen production in the skin, and more collagen means fewer wrinkles and younger looking skin.

Applying retinol (carefully) to this area will help prevent fine lines, wrinkles, and sunkenness from setting in.And unlike some eye creams, this pick from No7 has a super lightweight texture that doesn’t feel greasy or tacky. Has antimicrobial and cell-communicating properties and is considered to be part of the skin's natural defence system.

Manufacturer results, of course, always have to be taken with a pinch of salt, but if you like peptides, the Matryxil 3000 duo is one of the best-proven and most well-known ones and it's something that is worth trying.Ceramide eop, ceramide np, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7, palmitoyl tripeptide-1 and phytosphingosine in this product help decrease the water evoporation from the skin, so that it stays hydrated for longer. A recent study shows that bisabolol indeed can have some anti-inflammatory effect on skin, even though conclusive data is lacking. To be extra cautious, I started applying it a few times a week and progressed to using it every night.
