Several new methods have been researched and tested for the treatment of aging and skin degradation. The past few years have brought two parallel methodologies to the scene of anti-aging treatments: use of peptides and use of plant stem cells.
HOW DOES EACH METHOD WORK?
Peptides of essential components of the skin have been tested in several trials, most specifically peptides which are derivatives of collagen.
Recent studies have shown that collagen peptides help for the creation of renewed collagen fibers in the skin, thus increasing skin strength and skin cell organization in order to create an anti-wrinkle effect.
In parallel to peptide research, stem cells from plants, and more specifically from apples, have been proved to have a high proliferation rate, as well as the ability to repair damaged tissues**. Moreover, apple stem cells extract strengthens the tissue in which it is found and decreases rates of cell apoptosis, thus inducing cell regeneration***.
A recent study published in 2018 found that apple stem cells protect the skin tissue from oxidative stress and induces fibroblast proliferation.
AND WHAT IF WE PUT THESE TWO METHODS TOGETHER?
A recent study, published in the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, tested the use of a serum containing both apple stem cells extract, as well as peptides. The serum was applied for 28 days and anti-aging effects were analyzed. The results of the study were crystal clear: the use of a serum combining both stem cells and peptides brought a significant and fast effect on the skin, with a strong decrease in wrinkles’ rate and in free radicals, thus having both a regenerative and anti-oxidative effect***.
Neox provides a wide set of products with the combination of stem cells, together with peptides. Among these products, the NeoMatrix Multi-Active Age Defying Eye Cream brings in a winning combination of peptides, stem cells and other anti-oxidative agents. This multi-active care product addresses the special needs of the delicate area of the eyes, while still delivering a comprehensive anti-wrinkle and firming effect.
