Pharmagel Protective moisture crème with antiaging peptides intensely hydrates and dramatically repairs the unique skin structure of the hands. This advanced formula utilizes a powerful, clinically proven, anti-ageing peptide and Retinol-A to stimulate collagen formation for improved firmness and elasticity with fewer noticeable lines and wrinkles. Natural Shea Butter drenches parched hands with rich, comforting moisture while Green Tea and Vitamins C and E form a protective antioxidant shield that fights damaging free radicals. Instantly makes hands beautifully luminous, soft, and silky smooth. Key Ingredients Matrixyl-3000® contains polypeptides called matrikines, the messengers of skin restructuring and repair. They stimulate collagen production by “jumpstarting” the skin repair process, thus causing significant improvements in elasticity and skin tone. Matrixyl 3000® promotes collagen production while stimulating fibroblast cells in the skin, enabling them to significantly reduce the appearance of wrinkles. Although fibroblasts never completely lose their ability to create more collagen, the levels dwindle with age causing skin to dry and wrinkle. In clinical trials, Matrixyl-3000®, a key ingredient in Hand Therapè, acheived the following: • 33% decrease in wrinkle density • 23% decrease in the volume of wrinkles • 20% decrease in the depth of wrinkles RETINOL-A (VITAMIN A) supports cellular renewal and the production of collagen (the skin’s major structural support). Vitamin A is significantly responsible for the production of new cells and the maintenance and repair of mucus membranes. VITAMIN C supports cellular renewal and production of collagen. As a primary antioxidant, it sweeps out and neutralizes free radicals (unstable oxygen molecules responsible for breakdown of cells that precedes ageing and disease). TOCOPHEROL ACETATE is the most potent form of Vitamin E. It is a powerful antioxidant. PANTHENOL builds protein responsible for cell regeneration and repair. When epidermal cells pile up, they become progressively dehydrated, resulting in rough, scaly surfaces. LICORICE EXTRACT contains glycyrrhizin (anti-irritant), which helps prevent erthema that triggers the chain of reactions that leads to melanin production. CARMELLIA SINENSIS LEAF EXTRACT, MAGNESIUM ASCORBYL PHOSPHATE and UNDECYLENOYL PHENYLANINE inhibit and fade melanin (pigmented skin cells).
