The Science of Acetyl Hexapeptide-3 (AH3) Naturdermx™ ultimate peptide complex™

Scientific research has shown that many factors can increase signs of aging. Skin aging is affected by internal and external stressors, which cause cellular changes. Cellular degeneration is caused primarily by free-radical damage, genetics and a breakdown of the collagen, elastin, and lipid matrix of the skin. These changes initiate wrinkle formation. Research shows that these changes can be avoided by interrupting repetitive muscle contractions and the residual muscle tension that remains.

Muscles cannot contract without the release of the mineral Calcium. BoNT’s (Botulinum Neurotoxins) inhibit the release of Calcium and bind, or fuse, to proteins to prevent muscle contraction. However it is a neurotoxin protein produced by the bacterium Clostridium Botulinum; one of the most poisonous naturally occurring toxins in the world. Use of BoNT’s (Botulinum Neurotoxins) to reverse signs of facial aging has launched new research into peptides to produce similar results without the toxic side effects.

One of these synthetic amino acid peptides is Acetyl Hexapeptide-3 (AH3). AH3 competes for the same connection as resulting in a disruption that destabilizes this connection and blocks the neuron fusion and muscle contraction without the need of a neurotoxin. Acetyl Hexapeptide-3 (AH3) has been shown to decrease the depth of eye wrinkles by 17% in 2weeks and a whopping 27% in a month!

Many products use an AH3 preparation called Argireline. Argireline® is a blended solution that contains AH3 as well as Butyl, Iso-buytl, Methyl and Propyl Parabens. NaturDerm™ uses only pure Acetyl Hexapeptide-3 in Naturdermx™, as NaturDerm™ products do not contain parabens.

Naturdermx™ is the first silicone-free, paraben-free, natural-based AH-3 peptide serum.
