Argireline: What Is It & Why We Love It?
Ageing. Like taxes, it’s an inevitable thing. In the same way your muscles get a little stiffer after exercise than they did when you were 16, your facial muscles lose their ‘bounce’ too. So after you frown or (preferably) smile, your skin and facial muscles take a little longer to return to their normal, resting positions. As skin elasticity decreases and muscle stiffness increases with age, repeated facial expressions will start to stick around and this is what turns a little laugh line into more of a, well, wrinkle.
We’re not saying these are bad, but I think we can all agree it’s just nice to have bouncy smooth skin. So we've finessed an active serum that will save you from invasive and expensive procedures *cough, cough, injections* and help make those stubborn lines have to work a lot harder to stick around.
The Underwhelming Results of Anti-Ageing Serums
An effective serum is all about compatible molecular size and appropriate delivery systems. There’s a lot more to effective skin care than slapping on a cream and hoping for the best.
Until now, the peptides in anti-ageing products claiming to reduce fine lines have been made with regular Argireline® Peptide. Regular Argireline® Peptide is a fantastic anti-ageing active...in the test tube. It is specifically designed to target wrinkles and lines, particularly during facial expression. However, studies on living skin were “mixed” due to poor penetration. This has been the consistent problem for a lot of Peptides used in skin care products currently available; they sound great, but when it comes to using them, you’ll often be left disappointed and frustrated. Not the results you were ultimately hoping for...
Please Meet Argireline® Amplified Peptide
To overcome this problem of poor penetration with standard Argireline, Argireline® Amplified Peptide – also known as modified acetyl hexapeptide-8 - was developed by our chemists in 2020. It has a smaller molecule size and we’ve combined it with a Liposome delivery system that ensures this wonderful active penetrates right down into the deep layers of the skin to address fine lines at the source.
Results You Can See For Yourself!
The Argireline® Amplified Peptide, when combined with our specific delivery system, works by weakening the neurotransmitters between your skin and the muscle to reduce the amount of expression lines that become visible on your face as you go about your day. Less expression lines = less visible wrinkles!
We use the same percentage and same techniques as used in the original lab trials which show a 20% reduction in wrinkle depth after just 28 days of use.
Effects Last Up to 5 Days
The effects of Argireline® Amplified Peptide last around 5 days as the neurotransmitters reconnect the skin and the muscle. This means your results will improve over time with continued use as wrinkles and expression lines are preventatively diminished at an ongoing rate.
Our Argireline® Amplified Peptide also helps to reduce muscle stiffness to reduce the formation of expression lines. Because the Argireline® Amplified Peptide gets right down into the deep layers of your skin, don’t be surprised if you feel a slight stiffening sensation. This means it’s working!
Like an Injection in a Bottle (kind of)
Sound familiar? Yes, this is what anti-ageing injections do, but on a much more drastic, expensive, semi-permanent, and invasive level. Please note, that while the mechanisms are similar, we’re not claiming that the results are the same.
Who is it Suitable For?
This serum is suitable for all skin types – the sensitive ones included! It works to diminish existing fine lines and prevent them from forming, meaning this can be added into the daily routine for both younger and more mature people. Whether you’re in your mid-twenties or your early forties, fifties or sixties, our Amplified Anti-Ageing Serum with Argireline® Amplified Peptide will be helpful and effective for you. What else is in it? Just like our other serums, this active ingredient sits nicely in a skin-soothing, hydrating base, with added Jojoba Oil, Shea Butter, and Natural Vitamin E to keep skin nourished and healthy.
Like all MooGoo products, this serum is safe to use during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Always be sure to patch test first though, as we all have such unique and different skin.
So, try the Amplified Anti-Ageing Serum with Argireline® Amplified Peptide for yourself. Be sure to use it for at least 28 days like the study, and then let us know what you think down below. Enjoy!
