PHYTOCODINE~R -NATURAL MESSENGER PEPTIDES TO REPROGRAM SKIN STRUCTURE

摘要

A person's perceived age is determined by physical traits on face and neck. These traits mostly reflect the integrity of the extracellular matrix, which provides structure, homogeneity and elasticity to skin. Matrikines are dermal messenger peptides that instruct skin cells to reorganize and build-up the extracellular matrix. So far, synthetic matrikines have been used in cosmetics. PhytoCodine~R is the world's first concentrate of plant-derived, natural matrikine-like peptides from cedar nuts. It reprograms fibroblasts to build-up extracellular matrix components characteristic of younger looking skin and thereby, PhytoCodine~R directly contributes to a person's perceived age.
