Is it a moisturizer? Yes, it is packed with moisturizing ingredients to help skin retain moisture. However, it is unlike traditional moisturizers such as face lotions and creams with the primary aim to lock moisture by creating a barrier on top of the skin.
Is it a face oil? Not really. Traditionally serums are water-based, but as the face oils have become more popular, more face oils are marketed as serums. These days, serums can be water-based or oil-based. Water-based serums can penetrate moisturizers to nourish the inner layer of the skin whereas oil-based serums will stay above your moisturizer, due to their bigger molecules, to keep the cream applied underneath moist.
Is it an essence? Essentially, yes, as both essence and serum are applied before moisturizing and after cleansing. Both provide targeted skincare needs besides basic skin hydration, but they differ in texture. An essence has a more fluid texture while serums are more viscous and concentrated.
Thus, serums have become confusing for most consumers.
At Biophyll, we simply define serum as a Targeted Solution for specific skin concerns.
In particular, we achieve amazing and unparalleled success in addressing followings skin conditions
Deep Wrinkles And Lines
Dark Circles And Puffiness Around Eye
Sensitive And Thin Skin
Aged And Dull Skin
Pigmentation
Expression Lines
Loose And Uneven Texture Skin
Muscles are contracted when they receive a neurotransmitter called Acetylchline. Acetylchline is carried and released from inside a synaptic vesicle, via a process known as neuronal exocytosis. During neuronal exocytosis, the Acetylchline carried within the vesicle require a group of proteins to mediate the fusion between the vesicle and the muscle cell’s its carrying instructions to. These proteins are called the SNARE complex and act as a sort of pathway over which the vesicle must cross to relay movement information.
Our Multi Peptide Serum uses two Peptides to disrupt this information pathway, in an effort to relax the muscles. Hexapeptide-8 and Acetyle Glutamyl Heptapeptide-1 are two peptides that mimic the N–terminal of SNAP-25 protein. They compete for a position in the SNARE complex, which destabilizes the pathway, so that it cannot support neurotransmitters efficiently. The vesicles struggle to even reach the neurological receptors.
Any vesicles which do manage to cross the protein pathway and reach the receptors are hindered by another peptide called Dipeptide Diaminobutyroyl Benzylamide Diacetate. This peptide is an antagonist of the muscular receptor and acts by blocking the uptake of acetylchiline released from vesicles to the mnAChR receptors.
To ensure maximum muscle relaxation, we use Pentapeptide-18. This peptide mimics the natural mechanism of enkephalins. Enkephalins are neurotransmitters which work to suppress pain, and administer a calming response. Pentapeptide-18 couples to the enkephalin receptors on the outside of nerve cells initiating a decrease of the neuron’s excitability. The nerve cell’s activity is ‘turned down’ and the release of acetylocholine suppressed.
Finally we help strengthen the skin and increase elasticity, with the last 2 peptides called Palmitoyl Oligopeptide and Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7. These peptides activate the neosynthesis of the extracellular matrix macromecules via matrikines. Matrikines are messengers of cutaneous reconstruction and repair, which carry instructions that help increase the proliferation of collagen and rejuvenation of the skin.
Our team of experts has devoted more than 25 years of research, development and production of technologically advanced skincare products to provide top quality solution in addressing specific skin conditions.
