When the scientists behind OHT Peptide 3 set out to
discover weapons in the fight against aging, they turned to an old trusted
ally: naturally occurring peptides. Peptides play a vital role in the skin's
healing process. These protein molecules, found naturally in the body, send
out signals when damaged skin is in need of repair. OHT Peptide-3 contains
three patented peptides that target both upper and lower layers of the skin,
helping to reduce wrinkles and repairing stretch marks.
The 3 key peptides in OHT Peptide include:
- - Palmitoyl Oligopeptide-3 (Ceramide
Oligopeptide-3) is clinically proven to regenerate the skin's upper
layers by stimulating collagen production and thickening the
epidermis—not unlike the regeneration.
- - Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-3 is proven to
suppress the body's production of interleukins, the chemical messengers
that trigger inflammation.
- - Acetyl Hexapeptide-3 (Argireline) is
proven to help reduce wrinkles by disrupting the nerve signals sent to
tense muscle beneath the dermis—functionally relaxing them and smoothing
the overlying skin.
OHT Peptide contains other key active ingredients
with anti-aging and skin repair benefits, as follows:
Palmitoyl Oligopeptide (Biopeptide CL) is a
protein that is a fragment of collagen combined with palmitic acid. Research
shows that it increases collagen production, hyaluronic acid production and
skin thickness. It reduces surface roughness, and depth of wrinkles.
Sweet Almond Oil is cold pressed from the
dried kernels of the almond tree. It helps protect the surface of the skin,
acts as an emollient, skin soother and softener while conditioning the skin
and promoting clear, clean, young-looking skin. It also helps skin to absorb
moisture.
Sesame Oil is nutritional oil that acts as a
light emollient, helping to nourish skin.
Cocoa Butter is extracted from the roasted
seeds of the cocoa plant. It softens, lubricates, and moisturizes the skin.
Shea Butter is the natural fat obtained from
the fruit of the karite tree (also referred to as “the tree of life”). Shea
has emollient properties, wound healing, and regenerative activity.
Tocopherol (Natural Vitamin E) is an
antioxidant that has been cited as having positive effects on the wound
healing process. It penetrates the skin, rejuvenating damaged skin cells and
helps promote healthy regeneration of scarred skin.
Glucosamine HCL & Algae Extract & Yeast Extract
& Urea is an acid-free combination that increases skin cell renewal. It
increases collagen synthesis, contributing to skin firming. It evens skin
tone by visibly minimizing the appearance of minor scaring, discoloration
and age-related fine lines. A polysaccharide found in the algae calms
irritation and promotes healing. It visibly reduces inflammation and redness
of sensitive or irritated skin.
Imperata Cylindrica Root Extract optimizes
and reinforces collagen synthesis and moisture absorption in the skin.
Coneflower Extract & Hydrocotyl Extract (Actifirm)
is a combination of herbal extracts clinically proven to dramatically reduce
the appearance of wrinkles and greatly improve skin’s firmness.
Peppermint Oil is stimulating and
refreshing.
Retinyl Palmitate (Vitamin A) helps diminish
the appearance of fine lines on the skin while leaving it soft, smooth, and
supple. It encourages cell renewal that enhances skin's youthful appearance.
Dipotassium Glycyrrhizinate (Licorice root
Extract) is a potent calming agent from licorice that has powerful
anti-inflammatory abilities. It helps to improve skin tone and visibly
reduce the appearance of skin discoloration.
Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-3 (Rigin) is a
peptide that mimics DHEA in the skin. It is a powerful anti-inflammatory
that helps speed tissue regeneration resulting in normalization of damaged
skin. Skin looks and “acts” younger with new strength against aging
environmental damage including sun damage.
Acetyl Hexapeptide-3 (Argireline) reduces
muscle contraction, helping to minimize long-term formation of lines and
wrinkles, making it a safe alternative to injections. Significantly
decreases wrinkles after 30 days of application and prevents new wrinkles
formed by facial expressions i.e. “frown” lines around the mouth “crows
feet” around the eyes and “worry lines” on the forehead.
Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) is an organic
source of biological sulfur. It is a mineral that has numerous benefits for
the skin. It has soothing and calming effects; it builds collagen, is a
potent anti-inflammatory and helps firm skin. Many people have reported a
decrease in the appearance of stretch marks and scars from applying a cream
rich in MSM.
Ascorbyl Palmitate is a potent form of
Vitamin C that is fat soluble and therefore very bio-available to the skin’s
cells. Vitamin C supplies antioxidant and skin-refining benefits. It is
firming, anti-aging, and provides free-radical protection.
Lavender Essential Oil is added for it’s
calming, soothing ability to rid the skin of excessive redness associated
with inflammation to assist healing of stretch marks, scars, hyper
pigmentation and aging skin.
Chlorella Vulgaris Extract is from green
algae. It restructures scarred and aging tissue, reducing wrinkles and
stretch marks. Studies show it stimulates collagen and elastin production,
helping to maintain skin’s firmness. It is a potent moisturizer that also
neutralizes the effects of certain environmental pollutants on skin tissue.
Coralline officinalis is a potent
anti-inflammatory cosmeceutical ingredient from red algae. It evens out skin
tone by visibly reducing redness and blotchiness. It visibly reduces
wrinkles and fine lines.
Key active ingredients found in
OHT Peptide-3™
- Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-3 (Ceramide
Oligopeptide-3)
- peptide that mimics DHEA
in the skin. It is a powerful anti-inflammatory that
helps speed tissue regeneration resulting in
normalization of damaged skin. Skin looks and “acts”
younger with new strength against aging
environmental damage including sun damage.
- Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-3
- Clinically proven to
regenerate the skin's upper layers by stimulating
collagen production, thickening the epidermis. a
synthetic protein that is a fragment of the
C-terminal portion of collagen I (the most common
type of the nineteen forms of collagen) combined
with palmitic acid to make it more lipophillic, to
improve its stability and to enhance its affinity
towards human skin. One could look at Palmitoyl
Pentapeptide-3 as a man-made precursor to collagen
I. When this protein is added to cultured human
fibroblasts it enhances the synthesis of collagen I,
collagen III and fibronectin.
