In a study on the tripeptides ingredient, over a period of time the ingredient manufacturer found a significant anti-wrinkle effect after daily use.*
The retention of water within the skin is extremely important. Water performs myriad
functions. Among these are, assisting the detoxification process, which itself leads to
clearer skin. Water tends to ‘plump’ the skin leading to a decrease in the appearance of lines and wrinkles. It also helps to increase the respiration rate of the skin. Spring Sea Water which is rich in minerals has been shown in studies** to optimise the skin water balance. It also lowers trans epidermal water loss by stimulating production of skin lipids by 45%.
Other essential skin nutrients (which vary according to product) such as vitamins and natural oils and aloe vera, nourish, moisturise, hydrate and protect the skin, especially where it is exposed to the elements. Antioxidants such as vitamin A help to control free radicals that are highly damaging and assist the repair process.
Tri-Pentox products also protects the ecosystem of the skin and strengthens the skin barrier by stimulating the growth of beneficial resident flora to the detriment of pathogenic flora.
All Tri-Pentox products also contain UVA/UVB absorbers to help protect the skin from damage by sunlight.
