RATIONALE & OBJECTIVES
- Peptides stimulate collagen neosynthesis and vitamin C is a well-recognized antioxidant with anti-aging properties.
- Their formulation is critical for delivery across the stratum corneum.
- An anti-aging formula has been developed to optimize the bioavailability of pure vitamin C at 10% concentration, combined with a biopeptide complex, hyaluronic acid, and Vichy volcanic mineralizing water (Liftactiv Peptide C [Vichy]).
- Peptide-C is packaged in daily-dose amber glass ampoules requiring no preservatives.
The objective of these clinical studies was to evaluate, by clinical assessments and subjective evaluations, the effectiveness on wrinkles and radiance of a topical treatment containing peptides and vitamin C.
