Dear All,

Can you believe it is February already - where did January go?
It’s all about peptides this month! We have two great new products out from Hydropeptide
and we are offering 10% off their whole range this month.

As it’s Valentine’s day this month, look out for our special Valentine offer!

What are peptides?

In addition to retinoids, antioxidants and hydroxyacids such as glycolic acid, peptides show efficacy in preventing and treating premature skin ageing.

Peptides are power-packed and are proven to successfully treat a variety of skin concerns.
They're a big buzz word because they work; generating results and helping your skin look younger and behave better.
Peptides are cell messengers that nourish, repair, and send neural-messages, which naturally stimulate diminished collagen and other important tissue, as well as relax repetitive wrinkle causing facial expression muscle tissue.Your skin is a complex network of structures that begin to crumble as you age.
Peptides strengthen your skin's foundation and allow your skin to restore its youthful qualities.

Functions of peptides in skin care can include:
- stimulating collagen
- promoting glycosaminoglycan synthesis
- stimulating capillary formation and repair
- enhancing natural antioxidant defence mechanisms

Our big news this month is….

HydroPeptide's new Uplifting Comfort Eye Gel visibly restores youthful qualities to the eyes – smoothing, tightening and hydrating skin along the eye contour.
Uplift immediately leaves eyelids looking radiant, youthful, and perfectly primed for eye makeup. Dramatic improvement is seen with regular use.
Uplift is a daily anti-ageing treatment for the eyes featuring a new skin-firming peptide, a rare Moroccan extract and an unprecedented liposomal preparation.
Peptides, Glutathione and a triple Hyaluronic Acid complex targets ageing on three levels by acting as a topical filler, promoting elasticity and deeply restoring healthy hydration.

Benefits:
•Visibly lifts and tightens
•Smoothes crepiness
•Reduces puffiness
•Reduces moisture loss
•Restores hydration

Out of 45 efficacy study participants between the ages of 29 and 66, 94% reported skin along the eye contour looking firmer and more lifted after two weeks of applying Uplift twice a day.
The anti-inflammatory effect of Myristoyl Tripeptide-31, a peptide likened to retinoic acid, contributes to the reduced appearance of crepiness noted by study participants.
Moroccan argan extract is another key ingredient – producing a tightening sensation and visible improvement in firmness within an hour of application to skin above and below the eyes. Results are based on analyses generated from photos taken on a Janus Complexion Analysis machine and responses collected in perception surveys taken by participants.

The complexion-correcting peptide, Acetyl Tetrapeptide-33, is just one of the designer peptides featured in this new serum. Soothing Serum contains Acetyl Tetrapeptide-33 at its clinical efficacy level of 2%. In an efficacy study conducted with 45 sensitive-skinned participants applying the Soothing Serum twice daily, 96% of participants noticed a more even-toned complexion within two weeks and 93% reported a reduction in the appearance of skin redness after four weeks. Of the 45 participants, 3 were diagnosed with mild Rosacea. Results are based on analyses generated from photos taken on a Janus Complexion Analysis machine.

Jan Marini Skin Research has launched their latest advanced skincare product, the Retinol Plus Facial Mask. Using an alcohol form of Vitamin A, combined with anti-ageing peptides, antioxidants, and advanced hydrants, the Retinol Plus Facial Mask delivers smooth, refined skin with a polished appearance in as little as 10 minutes.
With enhanced penetration to the high concentration of retinol plus the masks other active anti-ageing ingredients, this new product provides maximum benefits for skin of all types.

Used 1-2 times per week, the Retinol Plus Facial Mask decreases the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, sun damage, hyper-pigmentation and acne. It can be added to any skincare routine.

Retinoids are compounds related to Vitamin A, which promote cellular turnover in the skin. Consumers have been shown the anti-ageing results of retinoids from skincare products for years.
This product certainly packs its punch with a 1% concentration of retinol.
This is definitely one to try!

Please be careful of what you are applying to your skin!

We are official stockists of all our products. Please beware of fake or counterfeit products on eBay, Amazon and other unauthorised stockists' websites.
At the moment, all the UK brands distributors are clamping down on websites and clinics to ensure their products are sold within their agreed terms through approved outlets.
Those who do not comply will be no longer be supplied by the official UK distributors, so be warned!
There are a lot of sites out there slashing prices and offering bundles without authorisation. If it looks too good to be true it probably is!
Also, it is vital when buying advanced cosmeceutical skincare products that you have the correct advice to go with them. Make sure there is someone fully trained in the brand to help with any problems or usage etc. That’s what I am here for!
