This serum was a long time in the making. This serum was made as a sister product to our original Progeline™ Peptide Wrinkle Repair Cream. This product is water soluble bringing more permeability to the skin. It can be used in conjunction with our cream, or on its own under other products.
Progeline™ is a revolutionary biomimetic peptide that allows the skin to modulate progerin, to result in a complete remodeling effect and reduction of the appearance of wrinkles and sagging skin. We have also packed powerful antioxidants, All-trans Resveratrol and Super Oxide Dismutase (same ingredient in Cindy Crawford's magical melon serum) to squash free radicals and refresh and renew skin. All-trans Resveratrol is also known for its ability to extend Telomerase activity in our skin's DNA.
Method of Application Apply generously to face and neck 1-2 x per day.
Shelf Life and Storage Information for Products and Ingredients
Finished products generally don't need to be refrigerated as they are preserved, but you can refrigerate them to extend their shelf life. Shelf life for most products is 9 - 12 months. Vitamin C and VitaResurface products should always be refrigerated to extend their shelf life.
Sample sizes do have a shorter shelf life (generally 3-6 months) and items in jars can dry up quicker than this if the lid is not tightened well enough (except our Vitamin C Serums - use within 90 days).
Please keep your products out of high humidity, heat, direct light and keep in a dark cabinet when possible.
Exfoliating Acid products have a shelf life of 9 - 12 months. The only thing we don't suggest refrigerating are the Mandelic Serums or the Salicylic Acid Serums as those can crystallize in the refrigerator. If this happens you can set the product into a hot water bath to see if the crystals will dissolve.
Additional Items Requiring Refrigeration
Hydrosols - Remove 1 ounce of hydrosol and add into a separate, sterilized spray bottle and spritzer. Keep the larger bottle in the refrigerator. Carrier Oils - Generally you can refrigerate all carrier oils although some of the very rich oils will solidify. This is fine. All you have to do is take it out warm it up at room temp and it should liquefy. If not, setting the bottle in a hot water bath and occasionally shaking the bottle will hopefully turn to a liquid. ^There are some oils that have a super long shelf life like Coconut Cream and Jojoba Oil. Refrigeration is not necessary but it surely won't hurt. Essential Oils - Essential oils are best stored in a cool dark place. Co2 Extracts - These should always be refrigerated. Butters - We suggest refrigerating our "skincare' butters. You can take out what you need and keep the rest in the fridge. Clays - Keep in a dry, dark place. Shelf life is at least 2 years. Herbs - All herbs (whole or ground) should be kept in a dark, cool and dry location. Herbal (liquid) Extracts - These are created using alcohol. The alcohol pulls the constituents from each herb. Root, Trunk, Leaves, and Flowers. Extracts have a shelf life of 3-5 years. They can be kept in the refrigerator (or a dark DRY place) Other Various Raw Ingredients - i.e. Sodium PCA, Honeyquat, Oat Beta Glucan etc. will all have a different shelf life.
Progeline™ biomimetic peptide allowing, according to the company, to modulate progerin, to result in a complete remodeling effect and reduction of the appearance of wrinkles and sagging skin
Syn®-Coll is a synthetic peptide designed to stimulate the skin's natural mechanism to produce collagen. It is based on a small peptide developed to reduce any type of wrinkles. Clinical trials have shown that Syn®-Coll is capable of reducing and changing the type and aspect of wrinkles that add years to your appearance.
Leucidal SF preservative, adds beneficial probiotics to the skin
Resveratrol extends telomeres in skin DNA, very effective anti-oxidant which helps to fight free radical skin damage, packed with vitamins and minerals, skin food in the form of phytonutrients (proanthocynidin), topically, fights carcinogens, inhibitor of enzyme oxidative activity
SOD (superoxide dismutase) antioxidant. Superoxide Dismutase (SOD), is an enzyme that quenches excess superoxide radicals and other reactive oxygen species. As adults reach the age of 60 and beyond, the amount of SOD in normal skin diminishes and is incapable of adequately neutralizing large amounts of reactive oxygen species.28-31 With environmental and other influences such as sunlight, smoking and diet contributing to the generation of reactive oxygen species, it is critical to optimize SOD levels.
