Q-Strixin Facial Formula
possesses the same key potent ingredients as the original Q-Strixin Micro-Active Emulsion in a lighter moisturizing base that may be used on more delicate, fragile or sensitive skin types. It has also been reinforced with a third peptide called Acetyl Hexapeptide-3 , the wrinkle relaxing or so called botox like peptide that further aides in skin tightening.
Q-Strixin Facial Formula quickly penetrates the skin helping stimulate and support cell renewal. It helps improve facial skin tone and texture, reduces fine lines and wrinkles and improves the appearance of discoloration associated with sun damaged skin. Your skin will have a smoother, more youthful appearance. Q-Strixin Facial Formula may be applied in the morning before make-up or sunscreen and again at nighttime for added anti-aging benefits.
Key Ingredients
Acetyl Hexapeptide-3 , the wrinkle relaxing or
so called botox like peptide that further aides in skin tightening. It
consists of a chain of 6 amino acids attached to the acetic acid
residue. It is believed to work by inhibiting the release of
neurotransmitters. Some studies indicate Acetyl Hexapeptide-3 relaxes
facial tension, leading to the reduction in facial lines and wrinkles
with regular use. (These were in vitro studies showing inhibition of
formation of SNAP-25). This remotely resembles the effect of Botox,
which reduces facial tension and movement by paralyzing facial muscles.
Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-3 and Palmitoyl Oligopeptide are known to
stimulate cell growth, reduce the depth, length and volume of wrinkles,
increase skin thickness, decrease overall skin roughness, help correct
discoloration and repair sun damaged skin.
Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4, originally used in wound healing, this
ingredient consists of a group of amino acids linked together and
attached to a fatty acid structurally related to the precursors of
collagen type 1. Researchers have found that when added to a culture of
skin cells, Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4 stimulates the synthesis of the
key constituents of the skin matrix: collagen, elastin and
glycosaminoglycans. Clinical studies have shown a dramatic improvement
in skin smoothness and decreased wrinkle depth in test subjects. A
four-month study comparing Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-3 to Retinol, showed
the peptide yielded similar dermal thickening as the Retinol, but
without any negative side effects.
Palmitoyl Oligopeptide is a
synthetic protein, made up of a fragment of collagen and palmitic acid.
The palmitic acid is used to make collagen more lipophillic, making it
more compatible with the human skin. Developed through intensive
research, Palmitoyl Oligopeptide was the result of an effort to create
a substance that would act like retinoic acid without the negative
characteristics and irritation.
Emblica
This is the
trade name for the extract from the tannin-rich root Phyllanthus
Emblica, which has been used for centuries in Aryuvedic Medicine.
Studies have shown Emblica to possess powerful, broad-spectrum
antioxidant properties. In addition, Emblica is extremely stable and is
not subject to photodegradation. One of Emblica’s most exciting
applications is as a skin lightener. While most skin lighteners have
toxicity issues or can cause negative reactions on the skin, Emblica is
well tolerated without any known negative side effects.
Siegesbeckia Orientalis Extract
This ingredient has been shown
to be beneficial in restructuring the collagen matrix, aiding in wound
healing and tissue regeneration. This helps to normalize the appearance
of scars and stretch marks while restoring elasticity to the skin.
Clinical studies on its application for stretch marks show a 52%
decrease in length and indentations, a 12.9% decrease in depth, and a
13.7% increase in smoothness, texture, color and tone.
Directions
for Facial Rejuvenation: For use on the face to improve the appearance
of fine lines and wrinkles, also improving skin tone and fitness. Apply
a small amount of Q-Strixin Micro-Active Emulsion to the targeted areas
once in the morning and again before bedtime. It may be used up to
three times a day for faster results. Gently massage into the skin
using circular motions until it is fully absorbed. Apply prior to
makeup, moisturizer or sunscreen. Continue to use twice daily for a
minimum of 8 weeks. For continued maintenance use once daily after you
achieve desired results.
