Dermacare Direct New Product - Medik8 Oxy-R Peptides

What causes hyperpigmentation?

Hyperpigmentation usually presents itself as age spots, uneven colour, freckles and sometimes melasma (mask of pregnancy), due to excess melanin production and deposition in the skin. Sun exposure is the main factor, but hyperpigmentation can also be aggravated by other factors including hormones during pregnancy or the contraceptive pill, certain medications, and also post inflammation following trauma or acne.

To some people, blemish marks are just a temporary thing, but to others, it can be more stubborn. Stubborn marks will sometimes also fade, but will often take many months or even years to disappear altogether. And once you have got rid of them you need them not to come back!

- Acetyl Glycyl Beta-Alanine: Works to stop the transportation of melanin to the keratinocyte where the overproduction of pigment becomes visible on the skin.

What is Oxy-R?

Oxy-R is a Potent Antioxidant. Antioxidant oxyresveratrol can block the production of free radicals to stop them from causing the overproduction of melanin & reduce inflammation.

Tyrosinase is the main enzyme responsible for producing melanin in the skin. Oxy-R helps to prevent its action, resulting in a visibly more even tone in areas of hyperpigmentation.

Proven to be one of the most powerful and potent tyrosinase inhibitors in skincare to prevent hyperpigmentation, 33x more effectively than kojic acid and 45x more effectively than resveratrol, two of the most well-known luminsing agents on the market.

Innovative delivery system:

To keep this product super stable Medik8 have kept Oxy-R in the lid; separate from the rest of the formula until the product is activated for use by the special click-activated packaging. Once the pack has been clicked and the Oxy-R has been mixed into the formula, the oxy-R is able to stay potent for at least 6 weeks. Medik8 provide 2 x 10mL individual bottles so you get extended freshness, potency and the most value for your money.
