Active Ingredients
AlphaDerma CE is a peptide based anti-wrinkle product. Its active ingredients include a very popular and common anti-aging peptide ingredient 10% ARGIRELINE® (ACETYL HEXAPEPTIDE-3) which is a muscle relaxing peptide ingredients (see our article on Argirline®) targeting facial expression lines. ARGIRELINE® relaxes facial muscle contractions to smooth out fine lines and depth of wrinkles. Other active ingredients are: COLLAGEN, ELASTIN, ALPHA LIPOIC ACID, VITAMIN C ESTER (ascorbyl palmitate), DMAE, patented topical Soy Extract, UV-A/B SPF 15. All these ingredients are clinically proven anti-aging ingredients.
AlphaDerma CE formula contain both collagen and elastin, the major skin dermis connective tissue extracellular matrrix protein. COLLAGEN is an integral part of the support structure of the skin. The addition of collagen to the formulation plumps up the skin and helps fill in unwanted Fine lines and Wrinkles. ELASTIN is also the main fiber protein in the skin that allows it to stretch without leaving marks. AlphaDerma CE contains 100% rare, costly, freeze-dried powdered ELASTIN concentrate which has almost 100% amino acid content. This makes its ELASTIN 10x more potent than other standard ELASTIN containing products.
DMAE (also called DMAE Bitartrate) has been called “facelift in a jar,” helps firm and tighten the skin. This corrects sagging and loss of tone as well as certain types of facial wrinkles. Alpha lipoic acid (ALA) is a powerful antioxidant helps to prevent free radical damage to the skin. VITAMIN C ESTER (ascorbyl palmitate) boosts protective antioxidant action and helps repair past damage by aiding new collagen production.
Addition of the patented topical Soy Extract to the formulation give skin the nutrients it needs for healthier, younger-looking skin. Soy extracts are now proven to produce amazing skin rejuvenating benefits externally as well as internally. AlphaDerma CE features a complex Soy Extract formulated exclusively with five elements (Isoflavones, glycoproteins, proteoglycans, carbohydrates polymers and mucopolysaccharides) offering new balance to skin cells- allowing them to emerge with more moisture, and therefore, a more uniform, smoother-looking skin appearance. (Glycoproteins, proteoglycans, carbohydrates polymers and mucopolysaccharides are natural moisturizring factors. Isoflavones is antioxidant.)

Delivery System
