Indications and Uses:

Our peptide enriched night cream contains a blend of short chain amino acids. These peptides act as messengers, signaling skin cells to perform specific functions such as collagen production which helps improve skin elasticity, the stimulation of adipose cells to reverse the effects of GLP-1’s, and the reduction of fine lines and wrinkles. Peptides also strengthen the skin barrier, enhancing its ability to retain moisture and defend against environmental stressors. Additionally, they reduce inflammation and promote skin repair, making them suitable for individuals with sensitive or damaged skin.

Main Ingredients:

Sodium Hyaluronate has a lower molecular weight than hyaluronic acid. It’s small enough to penetrate the epidermis, or top layer of the skin. In turn, it can improve hydration from the underlying skin layers. When applied topically, it attracts moisture in skin cells helping to reduce dryness and flaking by increasing skin hydration.

Plukenetia Volubilis Seed Extract (PVSE) is packed with great benefits for the skin. It helps reduce facial sagginess, leading to more contoured and sculpted skin, particularly in the jawline and facial contours. PVSE has been shown to upregulate critical anti-aging genes in your skin like CTGF (Connective Tissue Growth Factor) and FOXO3, which both play a significant role in maintaining the skin’s health and vitality.

Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7 is a synthetic peptide composed of the amino acids glutamine, glycine, arginine, and proline. It works as a skin-restoring ingredient and is noted for its soothing ability since it can interrupt factors within skin that lead to signs of irritation (including from exposure to UVB light) and loss of firmness. This peptide blend can help the skin regain a firmness and engage in repair to visibly reduce wrinkles.

Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 is a synthetic fatty acid-linked peptide that can help repair visible skin damage and strengthen skin’s underlying supportive elements. It’s categorized as a “signal peptide” because of its ability to “tell” skin how to look better, specifically regarding reducing signs of sun damage like wrinkles and rough texture. Research has shown that this peptide has similar anti-aging benefits to retinol.

Acetyl hexapeptide-8 is a neurotransmitter-inhibiting peptide, meaning it works within skin’s surface layers to interrupt the look of expression lines.

Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5 is a synthetic, patented signal peptide made from the amino acids lysine and valine combined with the fatty acid palmitic acid, which aids penetration. It has a visible impact on skin’s firmness and also helps smooth the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, including deep wrinkles.

Palmitoyl Tripeptide-38 is what’s known as a matrikine-mimetic peptide, a type of lab-engineered (synthetic) signal peptide that mimics the role of matrikines in skin. Matrikines are protein fragments that play a “lock-and-key” role in stimulating collagens, hyaluronic acid, and other extracellular matrix proteins while also helping with collagen repair.

Beta Glucan is a soothing agent and is considered an excellent ingredient for minimizing redness and other signs of sensitive skin. Certain

How to Use:

Our night cream should be applied prior to going to bed and should only be used on clean, makeup free skin.  Apply cream to cheeks, chin, forehead and neck, and rub in well. Use daily along with OPUS’s day cream and eye cream. Your skin will love you!
