Teoxane is a new anti-aging product that is used to treat wrinkles and fine lines. It is an antioxidant derived from plant compounds, but the active ingredient is not the plant material, it is a tiny protein peptide. This is the “active” ingredient that has the ability to make your skin look younger by improving cellular function and boosting collagen production. It also has the ability to erase fine lines and moisturize aging skin.
Teoxane is an advanced face moisturizer that contains a unique formulation of keratin proteins and amino acids. This helps improve the skin’s appearance while providing it with a highly resilient hyaluronic acid level. The highest concentration of this ingredient is available in Teoxane s UVA/UVB cream. Teoxane is a very effective ingredient to use because it helps fight the sun’s damaging UV rays, thus making it less necessary to apply sunscreen on your face. Teoxane also contains natural antioxidants that help nourish skin cells, improve collagen, and make the skin more elastic. In a recently conducted a clinical study conducted on the effect of teoxane on skin elasticity and moisture, the use of Teoxane showed statistically significant results, rising both dryness and firmness levels over the entire 28-day study period, with most noticeable effects noted in as little as fourteen days.
So, how does it do what it does? To understand how it works, let’s take a look at how it is formulated. There are two key ingredients found in Teoxane, which are in high enough concentrations to show significant cosmetic benefit. These two components are:
The first ingredient is called “carboxylic acid,” which is a peptide. It has proven effectiveness in several studies involving anti-wrinkle products and has been included in Teoxane since the first day it was released to the market. The peptides in teoxane bind with the firming hyaluronic acid in the skin, preventing its decomposition by enzymes in the body. While the hyaluronic acid is naturally present in the skin, it tends to break down with age, causing wrinkles and fine lines to appear.
The second ingredient is a kelp extract called “GLA” (glucosamine hydrochloride). This ingredient has proven effectiveness in several studies as an effective moisturizer and structural firming agent. The ingredient’s highest concentration is available in the form of a concentrated eye serum, which you can find by searching online. Like the peptide carboxylic acid, it has proven effectiveness in fighting the sun’s UV rays and wrinkles around the eyes.
The third ingredient is a patented kelp extract called “Ocimum sanctum.” This advanced filler has the highest concentration of the active ingredients in Teoxane. Unlike other natural facial cleaners, it is devoid of comedogenic compounds that can cause blackheads and pore-clogging buildup. It also has the highest antioxidant content of any ingredient in Teoxane products. It has been clinically proven to eliminate age-related damage around the eyes and around the mouth. If you are looking for a non-comedogenic, non greasy formula, look no further than ocimum sanctum.
The fourth ingredient in Teoxane is dimethicone, which is an advanced emollient used in many beauty creams and face-firming lotions. This ingredient helps increase the collagen levels in the skin matrix. Because it also increases skin flexibility, it is particularly effective in soothing those red, rosacea-prone areas around the eyes and mouth.
The last component is derived from the sea kelp of Japan. This ingredient is called Phytessence Wakame. It is a highly potent hyaluronic acid that plumps up the skin matrix to a greater extent than any other known compound. If you are having aesthetic procedures performed with regular acid peels, you are wasting your money. Phytessence Wakame increases the activity of collagen and elastin to such a high degree that the hyaluronic acid is capable of replacing the acid completely.
