Key Ingredients:

Astaxanthin: An anti-inflammatory antioxidant, derived from the carotenoid family. Studies show that it has stronger antioxidant activity (10 times higher than beta-carotene), and can be more than 100 times more effective as antioxidant than Vitamin E. The highest percentage of astaxanthin appears to come from the micro-algae (Haematococcus pluvialis) found in Hawaiian waters.

NOTE: Astaxanthin comes in a concentrated oil form and costs approximately $1,800 per pound, similar to Vitamin K. High percentages of astaxanthin can be found in foods such as salmon or shrimp. It is even considered as essential to normal growth and survival, and has been attributed vitamin–like properties. It is taken as an oral supplement to provide energy, fight oxidative stress, and free radical damage. Found in plants and micro algae.

Dr. Larry Robinson, with Procter & Gamble, Ohio, US, presented the findings at the Congress of Dermatology. Self-assessment data indicated that the peptide formula showed improvements in the appearance of age spots, circles under the eyes, and skin firmness. Overall, the results suggest that palmitoyl pentapeptide reduces the appearance of photo-aged skin both by standardized measures and self-assessment.
