sh-Oligopeptide-85 is a synthetic recombinant peptide, an analog of human Dyskerin involved in stabilizing to RNA molecules and ribosome biogenesis regulation.
Regeneration booster
Skin regeneration processes work well in young and healthy skin. However, external influences like stress, lack of sleep, and air-conditioned environments slow down the regeneration process.
Mature skin has a decreased regeneration speed due to a slower renewing time of skin cells. The renewing process slows down between the young adult age of 25 and adults over 40.
Regeneration boosters support and speed up the renewal processes. Measurable results can be detected by the increase in skin smoothness and elasticity based on the stimulation of collagen biosynthesis.
Some regeneration boosters activate cell functions, enhance collagen and other structural protein production, and improve the skin condition, thus counteracting the signs of mature skin.sh-Pentapeptide-5 is a synthetic recombinant peptide that mimics endorphin action and leaves a Botox-like effect. This opioid peptide effectively reduces the appearance of expression lines and deep wrinkles exposing smoother, younger-looking, and healthy skin.
