General Description | As the skin ages collagen synthesis significantly decreases, the cellular turn-over rate slows, and an overall sluggishness sets in. Through the aging process the skin ultimately loses its ability to function at an optimum level, resulting in collagen breakdown and a lackluster appearance.

Address aging head-on with Pro-Collagen + Serum Amplifier, the ultimate age-fighting serum. This newest scientific breakthrough fights aging through a multi-tiered approach. This powerhouse blend uses an array of fibroblast-specific peptides to increase collagen production, ATP supporting ingredients to increase cellular energy and metabolism, a rare algae/polysaccharide blend to tighten the skin, and a highly purified silicone combination to form a protective barrier. 

This amazing serum gives the skin an immediate youthful, plump appearance, while working long term to correct and prevent the signs of aging. Your clients will experience increased skin health from this renewed life.

Featured Ingredients: 

Dipalmitoyl Hydroxyproline | Plays the critical role of selectively stimulating the production of collagen I & III in human skin fibroblasts. This powerful ingredient will help diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, resulting in a more vibrant, youthful looking complexion.

Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5 | Helps stimulate collagen synthesis. In human fibroblasts, this ingredient has shown excellent collagen building capacity.

Palmitoyl Oligopeptide | Used for collagen renewal and for the reduction in appearance of the depth and length of wrinkles. Skin grows thicker and firmer and wrinkles become smoother. The production of extracellular matrix also helps protect skin against damage caused by UV rays.

Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-3 | A deep penetrating, bio-active ingredient developed to minimize all types of wrinkles and to repair existing stretch marks and stimulate collagen synthesis. It contains skin firming and moisturizing properties and has been clinically proven to be safe and effective.

Algae (Seaweed) Extract | A highly purified extract from the Microalga Nannochloropsis Oculata combined with a well-balanced fraction of polysaccharides. This ingredient tightens the skin immediately and has in parallel a long-term effect strengthening the skin’s connective tissue. It also protects skin cells from oxidative stress and increases simultaneously the formation of collagen-I.

Magnesium Aspartate | Helps ATP production (involved in phosphate transfer system).

Zinc Gluconate | Helps DNA synthesis (DNA polymerase activator and histones stabilizer) and keratin and collagen synthesis (stimulates the formation of intramolecular bonds).

Copper Gluconate | Helps ATP production, keratin and collagen synthesis (formation of disulphide bonds), and stimulates cellular respiration.

Cyclotetrasiloxane/ Cyclopentasiloxane | When applied to the skin, these ingredients give a silky and slippery feeling to the touch and form a protective barrier on the skin. They can also fill in fine lines and wrinkles, giving the face a temporary “plump” look.

General [ATP] Theory | Mitochondria, which is often called the cellular power plant, supplies most of a cell’s energy through a substance called Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP). ATP is used for vital cellular processes, such as mitosis, biosynthetic divisions, and motility.

Mitosis is the process of cell division, which is our body’s way of creating new cells and replacing lackluster cells.  Biosynthetic divisions, through a complex process, create critical substances such as proteins, vitamins, and antibiotics.  Motility converts energy into mechanical work, such as the contraction of muscle fibers.

Because the Mitochondria is considered the powerhouse of the cell, some scientists even believe that the Mitochondria is the place where aging originates.  In fact, some studies have shown that the Mitochondria decreases 50% by age 60. As a cell’s energy diminishes, so does its ability to perform all vital functions (i.e. communicating between cells, performing repairs, etc.), resulting in a decrease of cellular health and an aged appearance. Ingredients that support the Mitochondria and promote the production of ATP, such as Copper Gluconate and Magnesium Aspartate, are known for their ability to jumpstart and energize the cell, resulting in increased cell metabolism and productivity.  

pH | 5.2

Application | After toner application, apply a dime size amount over entire face, neck, and décolleté. Follow with moisturizer. May be used daily.

Companion Products | To achieve optimal results, your client should be using a minimum of one specialty product from each subcategory: Hydrators, Anti-aging, Prevention/Correction, and Spot Treat/Pinpoint. The Pro Collagen + Serum Amplifier makes an excellent alternative or enhancement to Epicuren®’s Eye Cream, and may also be used as an anti-aging and volumizing lip treatment. 

Notes | Always perform a 24-hour patch test.
