by Mary
Matrixyl is a copper peptide that is used to heal skin and acne scars. And it has been tested to do just that.
This peptide is just short of amazing, but when you combine it with emu oil and vitamin e and add a little aloe, then you get amazing results!
Matrixyl is the best known and is used in products like Strivectin, Trialsin and hundreds of brands more.Matrixyl stimulates fibroblasts to synthesize collagen I and IV. Fibronectin and glycosaminoglycans also have
production increased. Matrixyl also seems to be more effective than some forms of Vitamin C. Proven effective on stretchmarks. Studies conducted on collagen synthesis indicated an increase of collagen from 30-117% and has a cumulative effect. The product is a safe alternative to botox, chemical or laser peels.
Emu oil is an amazing ingredient for many different skin formulations including skin tears, skin firming, anti wrinkle, super deep moisturizing, psoriasis, eczema and of course just about any top layer skin ailment. This is because it heals the skin like no other product can. It is used in burn clinics around the world for healing of the burns and more importantly to prevent scarring or heal the nasty burn scars.
Much research is currently underway into its healing abilities and many cosmetic companies are currently adding it to their expensive skin care creams.
