A handy guide to the ingredients in your beauty products
A
Acetyl Hexapeptide-3/argireline

Alpha and Beta Hydroxy Acids

Furfuryladenine
This comes from plants. Tests have shown it can reduce wrinkles, fine lines and other signs of skin ageing.
G
Gaba/Gamma-Amino-Butyric Acid
The body's natural muscle-relaxing agent, it prompts reduced muscle activity, which causes fine lines and wrinkles to disappear.
L
Lipids
These are fats that make up a natural part of the skin's barrier. The most important lipids in the skin are ceramides, sterols sphingolipids and free fatty acids, which protect the skin and - when combined with humectants of glycerin - make an excellent moisturiser.
P
Panthenol
Also known as vitamin B5, Pantehenol attracts moisture to hair and skin making it appear smoother and healthier.
H
Hexapeptide
A non-toxic, non-irritant compound that reduces the excessive stimulation of the facial muscles, relaxing facial tension and reducing the depth of wrinkles.

Niacinamide (nicontinamide)
Reduces redness and inflammation and can reduce skin ageing which is a result of artificial sunlight. Can also improve the appearance of acne.
R
Retin A - retinal

S
Syn-ake (dipetide diaminobutyroyl) The Real "Age-Killing-Effect"
Like Botox® treatments, It blocks neuromuscular contractions which cause facial muscle tension - with the muscle contractions inhibited, wrinkles are visibly reduced.

Tazarotene
This has recently been found to reverse some of the effects of skin ageing and is a popular skin rejuvenation cream in the USA. The formula is available in cream form from doctors in the UK via prescription.

Vitamin A
Essential for the maintenance of skin, hair, nails and teeth, it also acts as an anti-oxidant and reduces skin ageing by increasing collagen formation.
