Amatokin is a line of skin care products produced by Voss Laboratories, including Amatokin Emulsion, Amatokin Intensive Skin-Rejuvenating Serum, and Amatokin Eye Cream. It was initially designed to effectively assist in healing scar and tissue damage and was later modified to be an anti-wrinkle cream, known as Amatokin Emulsion. The anti-wrinkle cream’s active ingredients include antioxidants. But the real uniqueness of this product is the use of a peptide known as polypeptide #153 based on the stem cell therapy technology. Polypeptide #153 has been found to be able to protect and stimulate the activity of endogenous skin stem cell in promoting the self-renewal ability of skin cells which results in the reduction of the appearance of serious wrinkles.

According to amatokinstore.com-the official web site of Amatokin by Voss Laboratories, Polypeptide #153 works through its ability to activate the expression of stem cell markers in skin tissue. Stem cell markers are specialized proteins that coat the surface of a stem cell and selectively bind to other molecules. “Cells use these cell surface markers or receptors to communicate with other cells for carrying out many functions in the body.” When a stem cell marker protein is expressed, the stem cell is “turned on” which in turn stimulates the production of new skin cells
