Acetyl Hexapeptide-8: The Science Behind This Anti-Aging Skincare Ingredient

Acetyl Hexapeptide-8, also known as Argireline, is a synthetic peptide made up of six amino acids. It has gained a lot of attention in the skincare industry for its potential anti-aging benefits. In this article, we will explore the science behind Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 and its role in skincare.

How Does Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 Work?

Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 works by inhibiting the release of neurotransmitters called catecholamines. These neurotransmitters are responsible for muscle contractions, which contribute to the formation of wrinkles and fine lines on the face. By blocking the release of these neurotransmitters, Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 reduces the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, resulting in smoother and more youthful-looking skin.

In addition to its muscle-relaxing effects, Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 has been shown to stimulate collagen production. Collagen is a protein that gives the skin its elasticity and strength. As we age, collagen production decreases, leading to sagging skin and the formation of wrinkles. By increasing collagen production, Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 can help improve skin firmness and reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.

Benefits of Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 in Skincare

The primary benefit of Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 in skincare is its anti-aging effects. By reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, it can help to improve the overall appearance of the skin. Additionally, Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 has been shown to have a hydrating effect on the skin, helping to improve its texture and smoothness.

Another benefit of Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 is that it is a safer alternative to botulinum toxin (Botox). Botox works by paralyzing the muscles that contribute to the formation of wrinkles. While effective, it can have serious side effects if not administered properly. Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 provides a more natural alternative that works by relaxing the muscles rather than paralyzing them.

How to Use Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 in Skincare

Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 is a common ingredient in anti-aging skincare products, such as serums and creams. When using products containing Acetyl Hexapeptide-8, it is important to follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer. Typically, these products are applied to clean skin twice daily, with a gentle massage until fully absorbed.

It is important to note that while Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 can provide noticeable improvements in the appearance of the skin, it is not a miracle cure for aging. It is important to maintain a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet, regular exercise, and proper sun protection, to help prevent further damage to the skin.

Conclusion

Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 is a synthetic peptide that has gained popularity in the skincare industry for its potential anti-aging benefits. By inhibiting muscle contractions and stimulating collagen production, it can help to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, resulting in smoother and more youthful-looking skin. While it is not a miracle cure for aging, Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 can provide noticeable improvements in the appearance of the skin when used as directed in a balanced skincare routine.

Can you understand the concentration of ingredients in cosmetics?

There are thousands of cosmetic ingredients, some require high additives to achieve effective concentration, and some even add one millionth to have strong efficacy. Many people mistakenly believe that "0.1% content" is the standard for distinguishing "conceptual additives", but in reality, some ingredients with a content higher than 0.1% do not have any effect and are still "conceptual additives"; And some ingredients with a content lower than 0.1% have shown their effectiveness and are truly effective additives.

So the key to distinguishing "conceptual additives" is the effective concentration. Regardless of whether the content is higher than 0.1% or lower than 0.1%, as long as the effective concentration is reached, the true efficacy can be achieved, which is the criterion for evaluation. What is the effective concentration of each ingredient added? Different ingredients result in different effective addition concentrations. The concentration of various components in common skincare products:

Hyaluronic acid (effective concentration: 0.02%) Hyaluronic acid is currently a substance with good moisturizing properties in nature, known as an ideal natural moisturizing factor. Adding around 0.02-0.05% will have a moisturizing effect, and if it is hyaluronic acid solution, it will be added above 0.2%

Alcohol A (effective concentration: 0.08%) A alcohol is a classic anti-aging ingredient, which can accelerate collagen production, thicken the epidermal layer, accelerate epidermal metabolism, etc. Because A alcohol can be easily absorbed by the skin, 0.08% of the added amount is enough for vitamin A to have a anti-aging effect.

Vitamin C (effective concentration: 5%) Vitamin C can resist oxidation and also promote collagen production. 5% vitamin C can achieve the two effects mentioned above. The higher the concentration of vitamin C, the more stimulating it becomes. After reaching 20%, even if the concentration is further increased, the effect will not improve. It can be understood that 20% is the upper limit of skin absorption of vitamin C.

Vitamin E (effective concentration: 0.1%) The main function of vitamin E is also antioxidant. Vitamin E with a concentration of 0.1-1% can have antioxidant effects, and the higher the concentration, the better the antioxidant effect.

Nicotinamide (effective concentration: 2%) Niacinamide also has good permeability, and a concentration of 2-5% can improve pigment deposition. 3% niacinamide is more resistant to the damage caused by blue light irradiation on the skin, and 5% niacinamide has a stronger effect on brightening the skin tone.

377 (effective concentration: 0.1%) Star whitening ingredient 377 (Phenylethylresorcinol) generally takes effect at a concentration of 0.1-0.3%, but excessive concentration can also lead to adverse reactions such as stinging, redness, and swelling. The typical dosage is usually between 0.2-0.5%.

Active peptides (effective concentration: tens of ppm) Active peptides only need to be added in small amounts to take effect, and their amount can be as low as 100000 or one millionth (i.e. 10ppm-1ppm). For example, acetyl hexapeptide-8 has an effective concentration of tens of ppm and is mainly used to reduce dynamic and expression lines. The effective concentration of blue copper peptide is several tens of ppm, and its main function is to stimulate collagen regeneration.

Leading 6 Antiaging Developments

Wishing to look young is not precisely an originality - the look for the eternal youth has actually been taking place for centuries. And also while this previous year really did not supply the ideal potion, the year did present some medically strong, considerable breakthroughs in anti-aging skin treatment. To focus exactly what could absolutely make a distinction in your skin, WebMD asked clinical professionals to examine the best of the best.

Antiaging Innovation No. 1: Fractional CARBON DIOXIDE Laser Skin Resurfacing

The antiaging advancement of the years, inning accordance with lots of medical professionals, is a skin-resurfacing therapy referred to as CARBON DIOXIDE fractional laser treatment. Integrating the performance of typical co2 lasers - long believed to be the gold criterion in crease elimination - with a brand-new application method, it provides effective outcomes without the typically extreme adverse effects.

" Basically, you are obtaining all the advantages of laser resurfacing, still the most effective means to get rid of creases, yet you're getting it without the downtime as well as without the horrible issue price," claims David Goldberg, MD, supervisor of Skin Laser and also Surgical treatment Specialists of New york city and also New Jersey and also medical teacher of dermatology at the Mt. Sinai Institution of Medication in New york city City.

Laser resurfacing usages beam lets of power light to birthed small openings in the skin, which functions to place the body's all-natural collagen manufacturing on fast-forward. Below's exactly what's brand-new: Fractional CARBON DIOXIDE laser resurfacing does this in a method that avoids damages to the leading layer of skin, providing optimal outcomes with marginal healing time.

While laser resurfacing does not come economical - the treatment will certainly cost you concerning $5,000 - it fasts, completed in 1 or 2 sessions, with regarding 4 days downtime. Goldberg states results are believed to last 8 to One Decade.

Inning accordance with the American Culture for Dermatologic Surgical procedure, clients with darker skins could go to threat for coloring loss with any type of laser surgical procedure. Typical small negative effects for fractional laser resurfacing consist of soreness and also swelling that lasts regarding 2 days.

Antiaging Advancement No. 2: The New Wrinkle Injections

Crease shot modern technology rose to brand-new elevations in 2014 when the FDA authorized 4 fillers: Perlane, Juvéderm, Artifill, as well as Radiesse. Together with Restylane, accepted in 2003, each makes use of a somewhat various compound to load creases.

According to Rhoda Narins, MD, teacher of dermatology at NYU Medical Facility in New York City, that's simply the start. "Exactly what's truly substantial is that we could currently make use of these fillers to volumize skin anywhere on the face, so you could actually shape a raised, younger appearance without surgical procedure," she claims.

Skin specialist Bruce Katz, MD, the supervisor of Juva Skin as well as Laser Facility in New york city City, concurs. "Unlike a new look, which draws the skin tight as well as limited, volumizing plumps up the skin so the appearance is vibrant however extra all-natural," he claims.

In much more excellent information regarding crease shots, research studies performed by Frank Wang, MD, at the College of Michigan Medical Institution located that those including hyaluronic acid (such as Restylane and also Juvéderm) caused "durable collagen manufacturing" while additionally hindering collagen malfunction. Not just do you obtain a dental filling impact, claims Narins, yet you likewise have a real rise in all-natural collagen manufacturing.

Presently, a lot of fillers last approximately one year, or much longer. Just one - Artifill - deals irreversible outcomes, however not without worry. Inning accordance with a released record by the FDA, it raises the danger of granulomas, bumps that create under the skin and also might be irreversible, in addition to a raised danger of allergy.

Still, Narins claims all presently accepted crease shots have actually been utilized in Europe for a number of years, as well as the performance history on safety and security is typically great. Frequently, negative effects are moderate, generally restricted to soreness or swelling at the website of shot, she includes.

Antiaging Innovation No. 3: Anti-oxidants

Covering the listing of over the counter antiaging components making one of the most sound nowadays are anti-oxidants. These skin-care nutrients combat aging by ruining complimentary radicals, the unsteady particles that take place from sunlight direct exposure or air pollution which could essentially demolish the skin's collagen supply.

" Anti-oxidants are nutrients that, when topically used, deactivate and also counteract complimentary radicals prior to they hurt skin - so they could play a vital function in antiaging skin treatment," states Sumayah Jamal, MD, an assistant teacher of dermatology and also microbiology at NYU Medical Facility in New york city City.

Ratings of researches show the power of topical anti-oxidants (specifically CoQ10 as well as vitamins C and also E) to renew and also shield skin. The active ingredient producing the loudest buzz in 2007 was plainly coffee berry, which some specialists currently think is the solitary most effective antioxidant found to day.

2 independent research studies located that the very same plant that offers you your java shock in the early morning prepares to offer an effective antiaging increase to your face. The study performed by David McDaniels, MD, at the Institute of Anti-Aging Study in Virginia, as well as Zoe Draelos, MD, at Dermatology Consulting Solution in North Carolina, reported that coffee berry remove considerably boosted the look of great lines as well as creases without allergies or skin irritabilities.

Goldberg states it will certainly be a couple of years prior to the complete degree of coffee berry's renewing homes is understood, he includes that it is "so effective in its antioxidant score that also if 1/1,000 th of just what's used obtains right into the skin it's possibly going to have a result."

Skin doctor Ken Beer, MD, supervisor of Hand Coastline Esthetic in Hand Coastline, Fla., claims he's seen the scientific research and also he's impressed: "I believe this is mosting likely to be a significant cosmeceutical component."

Antiaging Development No. 4: Peptides

Little healthy proteins that promote the manufacturing of collagen, peptides have actually gotten on the cusp of antiaging skin take care of a while. The exhilaration started a number of years ago with NIH-backed research study on the component Matrixyl (palmitoyl pentapeptide-3), revealing its capacity to boost collagen manufacturing in skin. Today, refresher courses on added peptides remain to create study information.

Inning accordance with Jamal, researches on formulas such as Argireline (acetyl hexapeptide-3) reveal they could create a moderate, Botox-like impact, hindering the launch of natural chemicals that maintain face muscle mass from developing creases. Also more recent peptide formulas imitate development elements, promoting skin cells making a quicker turn over, just like young skin.

Just what's brand-new for peptides? Formulas that appear to produce on the whole enhanced outcomes. "They are truly obtaining the scientific research down currently, discovering how you can support the peptides as well as at the same time hinder collagenase the break down of collagen so we have much better, extra customized peptide items," claims Beer.

Antiaging Innovation No. 5: Vitamin A.

Amongst one of the most clinically researched topical antiaging therapies are the retinoids - by-products of vitamin A They are used as prescription therapies such as Retin A or Renova, however additionally offered in weak toughness in over the counter items, detailed as the active ingredient retinol.

Retinoids are "believed to deal with maturing skin by raising collagen manufacturing as well as reducing collagen malfunction," claims Jamal - as well as a ream of researches backs her up.

While several physicians thought just the prescription-strength retinoids were effective adequate to trigger considerable adjustment in the skin, 2007 was the year that suggestion altered. In a research released in the Archives of Dermatology in Could, scientists from the College of Michigan discovered that 0.4% retinol cream used 3 times a week for 24 weeks produced considerable distinction in skin wrinkling when compared to a comparable cream without retinol made use of on a different team of individuals in the research study.

A lot more unusual: The typical age of research study individuals was 87, indicating it's genuinely never ever far too late to look more youthful.

" For those that can not or do not intend to have a workplace treatment for creases, I recommend beginning with retinol items, as well as if there are no worry, such as inflammation or irritability, you could develop to a prescription-strength Retin An item. We currently recognize that both have the power to create quantifiable antiaging outcomes," claims Goldberg.

Antiaging Innovation No. 6: Antiaging Sun blocks

Amongst one of the most amazing brand-new means to combat skin aging are 2 significant developments in sunlight defense: Helioplex, a brand-new innovation that makes present sun block active ingredients a lot more reliable, as well as Mexoryl SX (ecamsule), a brand-new safety representative. Standing for the initial technology in skin sunlight defense in greater than Two Decade, each is especially made to resist the aging impacts of brief UVA rays.

"They are absolutely the very best we have, as well as they are a significant, significant development in regards to antiaging defense," claims Katz.

The majority of us learn about the threats of melting UVB rays, yet you may be much less familiar with the damaging as well as aging results of UVA. "These are the ones that go deep - UVA rays create the deep collagen as well as elastin damages that adds to maturing skin," claims Katz.

While many sun blocks properly shield versus UVB rays, defense from UVA was primarily restricted to the "lengthy" waves, with active ingredients that were unpredictable as well as often broken down in the sunlight.

Mexoryl SX (ecamsule), a UVA-blocking sun block created by L'Oreal, as well as Helioplex, an innovation developed by Neutrogena to support standard sun block active ingredients avobenzone as well as oxybenzone, are verifying not just to secure versus the destructive brief UVA rays, however to supply lasting defense without the demand to frequently reapply.

"They have actually been readily available in Europe for a long time currently, as well as there is no doubt they function - and also from an antiaging viewpoint, they can be your friend," claims Goldberg.

A lot more amazing: In 2007 these sun block advancements were integrated with anti-oxidants and also various other antiaging components in creams as well as day lotions that provide Ft Knox-level defense versus the aging impacts of the sunlight.

DR. JART+ Water Drop Hydrating Moisturizer

Price: $36

Claims: What it is: A hydration-replenishing formula to provide long-lasting moisture and brighten dull-looking skin.

Solutions for:

Dryness 

Dullness and uneven texture 

Uneven skintone

If you want to know more… This lightweight, refreshing moisturizer features a special emulsion system with droplets packed full of brightening and nourishing ingredients. The innovative formula bursts into tiny water droplets when applied—providing instant hydration and brightening dull, lackluster skin. Great for all skin types, it relieves dry, sensitive skin, revitalizes, and prevents visible signs of aging with concentrated antioxidants for a healthier-looking complexion.

Ingredients:

Hyaluronic Acid: A protein; used as an excellent skin conditioner and humectant, it helps prevent skin dehydration.

Water: Primarily used as a solvent in cosmetics and personal care products in which it dissolves many of the ingredients that impart skin benefits, such as conditioning agents and cleansing agents. Water also forms emulsions in which the oil and water components of the product are combined to form creams and lotions.

Cyclomethicone: A synthetic silicone oil with a drier finish.

Glycerin: Helps to retain water to lock in moisture. Attracts water to skin and helps skin to feel smoother and softer. However, studies have found that it not only attracts water to the skin, but also helps skin cells mature properly.

Arbutin: A natural skin lightening/whitening agent. It works by slowly releasing hydroquinone through hydrolysis, which in turn blocks Tyrosinase activity and reduces the skin’s melanin (pigmentation) production.

Sodium Chloride: Used primarily as a binding agent in skincare products and occasionally as an abrasive in scrub products. Perhaps the most common use of sodium chloride in cosmetics is as a thickening agent. Used as a preservative.

Cetyl PEG/PPG-10/1 Dimethicone: A skin/hair conditioning agent, emulsifier and delivery agent. As a silicone it provides emolliency, water binding properties, good slip and a silky touch on the skin. It keeps the water and oil parts of an emulsion from separating, and possesses great trapping capacity that enables it to prolong the release of active molecules, particularly pigmented ones. It also conditions the skin, gives it a smooth and soft look and eliminates any tackiness.

Camellia Sinensis (Green Tea) Leaf Extract: Tea plant native to Asia that helps fight free radicals; known for its antioxidant and anti-irritant properties.

Centella Asiatica (Gotu Kola) Extract: Known as "the fountain of life,” a  natural, herbal anti-inflammatory and wound healer.

Acetyl Hexapeptide-8: Water-binding properties and theoretical skin-restoring ability.

Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate: Increase skin’s hydration levels as well as being effective for calming factors in skin that can lead to excess oil and signs of sensitization.

DMDM Hydantoin: Protects products from growing bacteria, yeasts and mold.

My Thoughts: This moisturizer is insane! It should be the only moisturizer that is constantly out of stock. I received this in my September 2016 Sephora Play box. DR. JART+ Water Drop Hydrating Moisturizer comes in an intriguing chromed out squeeze tube. I found it intriguing because one, who doesn’t love shiny packaging and two, the sample size was quiet big for a sample. It’s the biggest sample I have ever received and I am grateful for that.

I am a tea fanatic, I have a huge collection and always no matter what have tea in stock. When I applied Water Drop the first time I was immerse in a tea aroma. I loved the scent but what was more interesting is the scent immediately gave me a caffeine boost. Once I take in the aroma and it wakes me up. The aroma only lasts about 45 seconds. Normally I would be upset since I love tea so much but since it give me a caffeine boost I love it!

The texture is jellylike that is milky in color and is completely translucent when spread on the skin. Water Drop spreads out evenly and absorbs quickly like it just melts into the skin. I used a pea size amount for my whole face and neck. When I apply I spread it evenly, then I gently pat my face until it feels like I didn’t apply anything at all. The process only takes a minute tops. On application I get this slight cooling, soothing sensation but once absorbed the feeling is gone. I know its a small amount but it seriously hydrates my skin. I have used a dime size amount just to test what happens when I use more product. I found that on application it felt like I actually had water drops on my face. I felt the cool, soothing sensation more intense with this method. Once the Water Drop took about 3 minutes to absorb the intense sensation was gone. However I did not see a change in hydrating. So I’d rather use less product each time to make this sample last longer.

DR. Jart+ has made one remarkable product that works with every skin type. I have normal to dry skin and it works to perfection. Its comfortable to in any weather, especially hot or humid ones. Its the most lights moisturizer I have ever come across. I normally apply once a day in the mornings however most nights when I take off my makeup I find myself reaching for this moisturizer. It makes my skin feel soft without making my skin feel greasy. I love DR. JART+ Water Drop Hydrating Moisturizer because it brightens up my skin as well. Over the 3 weeks I can see some of my acne scars slowly being removed. I know Water Drop is expensive but I strongly believe its worth every penny and I will be purchasing it again. I would most definitely recommend it to my readers to try it out!

[UYU REVIEW] wish formula special kit from JOLSE

Hello everyone! I hope your February has been swell! I’ve been a busybody recently because I have a ton of reviews I want to post before I start uni, and today is no exception! 💕

Today’s post is a brand review / first impression on Wish Formula! Personally I had never heard of them before receiving these items and their items are very new to Jolse. The aesthetic that I grasp from their brand seems to be very convenience-oriented, at least with the products that I tried. Instead of having a bottle of ampoule for example, you have a pad that you can easily pat onto your face. Their packaging otherwise looks really clean and simple.

I would highly recommend Jolse as a place to purchase k-beauty goods! I’ve been shopping there for years and I love that they have free shipping of their products, plus they give nice free gifts.

DISCLAIMER: These products were provided for review by JOLSE.com. I am not being compensated for this review. I am not otherwise affiliated with Jolse or Wish Formula, and all opinions are my own.

Here are all the items that came in the package!

REVIEW: Bat Eye Mask

The first product I tried was the Bat Eye Mask, with Centella Honey Fermented Essence. This product is basically a sheet mask in the form of a bat!

Here are the features of the product, according to Jolse:

Vitamin C, adenosine, centella and fermented honey in the mask essence provide anti-wrinkle & anti-aging effect on the bat eye-zone

Natural extracts like centella asiatica, honey ferment extract, olive leaf ferment extract, peppermint leaf ferment extract and hyaluronic acid soothe the sensitive and extra dry skin intensively

Strong hydration and soothing effect to brighten up the skin tone

Centella asiatica helps to soothe, moisturize and supply nutrition

To be honest, I didn’t even know the Bat Eye zone was a thing...

And here are the ingredients, taken from the packaging:

Water, Dipropylene glycol, Glycerin, Black strap powder, Butylglycerin, Sodium hyaluronate, Arctium lappa root extract, Citrus limon (Lemon) fruit extract, Humulus lupulus (Hops) extract, Hypericum perforatum extract, Salvia officinalis (Sage) leaf extract, Calendula officinalis flower extract, Saponaria officinalis lead/Root extract, Saccharomces/honey ferment filtrate, Centella asiatica extract, Acetyl hexapeptide-8, Beta-glucan, Lactobacullus/Olive leaf ferment extract, Saccharomyces/Peppermint leaf ferment filtrate, Lactobacillus/Clover flower ferment extract, Panthenol, Ascorbic acid, Allantoin, Adenosine, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Chlorphensin.

There are a ton of plant extracts, plus vitamin C and adenoside. Only weird thing I notice is that centella and honey are a bit further down the ingredients list than I would have liked especially since the mask is advertised as a centella and honey mask!

You can apply this like you would a normal sheet mask! I applied it after I cleansed and applied toner. After removing the mask, I gently patted my skin to help absorb the essence.

I found the mask had a really good fit since it has so many slits that allow you to adjust it for your face.

OVERALL RATING: 3.5 / 5

I think a huge part of me liking this mask was the packaging! I love sheet masks and entertaining sheet masks are even better. 

I think the effects of this mask were simply temporary but it did reduce the puffiness of my eyebags - I cannot attest to the anti-wrinkle properties though. Overall, I found the experience of using this mask pretty enjoyable and it’s a bit more ridiculous than most sheet masks 😬 While I do like it, they are a little pricey and I’m not sure I would repurchase for the results alone since hydrogel eye patches have basically the same effect and they’re about $10 for 60 while these are $3 each. I could imagine myself buying a few to mask with my friends though.

REVIEW: C200 Bubble Peeling Pad

Isn’t the packaging on the C200 Bubble Peeling Pad so cute? It looks like a beaker! The concept of this is it’s basically the same design as a cushion puff but it’s really an exfoliating pad! 

There is AHA on one side of the pad (the netted ‘exfoliating’ side, top picture) and vitamin C on the other side of the pad (soft ‘vitamin’ side, bottom picture). 

If you’re not familiar with AHA, it’s a chemical exfoliator which helps to clear clogged pores and promotes skin renewal but removing dead skin cells. I definitely think it’s an interesting idea to put AHA, a chemical exfoliator, with a physical exfoliating pad. Vitamin C is commonly used for brightening, and vitamin C serums have really helped me with lightening acne scars.

Here are the ingredients, taken from the packaging:

Water, Disodium Cocoamphodiacetate, Potassium Cocoyl Flycinate, Cocamide DEA, Lactic Acid, Glycolic Acid, Glycerin, Dipropylene Glycol, Ascorbic Acid, Lactobacillus (Olive Leaf) Ferment Extract, Saccharomyces (Peppermint Leaf) Ferment FIltrate, Lactobacillus (Clover Flower) Ferment Extract, Hyaluronic Acid, Polyglutamic Acid, Apium Graveolens (Celery) Extract, Brassica Oleracea Capitata (Cabbage) Leaf Extract, Oryza Sativa (Rice) Extract, Solanum Lycopersicum (Tomato) Fruit Extract, Brassica Rapa (Turnip) Leaf Extract, Daucus Carota Sativa (Carrot) Root Extract, Brassica Oleracea Italica (Broccoli) Extract, Arginine, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, DMDM Hydantoin

Bolded are the 'key’ ingredients or those to take note of. Good to see AHAs and vitamin C is relatively high.

I was reading the cosDNA analysis and it was a little worrying that 2 ingredients had a red safety rating. These are italicised.

I’m not overly familiar with these ingredients but according to cosDNA, DMDM Hydantoin is used as a preservative but it apparently released formaldehyde. Cocamide DEA is a stabiliser but it has been linked to causing cancer. 

Here are the features of this product, taken from Jolse:

Removes dead cells and dirt for trouble, pore and sebum care

Easily to apply professional peeling program at home

Solve skin problems through natural AHA and natural fermented sources

Contains pure Vitamin C for skin anti-oxidation and brightening effect

Here’s how to use it!

Create bubbles with the pad by squeezing it. Make sure your face is clean and damp before proceeding.

Rub the entire face with fiber side for 2 to 3 minutes, avoiding the eye and lip areas Wash thoroughly with water if the solution gets into the eyes.

After exfoliation, flip over to the band part. Use the soft side of the pad to pat vitamin contents into the skin and rinse off.

OVERALL RATING: 2.5 / 5

I felt like this product was a bit too much for me. I do use chemical exfoliants lika BHA and AHA quite frequently but I just feel like this pad was a bit harsh, with the AHA and physical exfoliation from the net going at the same time. If you have a higher AHA tolerance than me (I stick with 7% AHA) then this might be better for your skin (although the 2 ‘unsafe’ ingredients are a bit eh to me)! As well as that, the product seems quite wasteful to me since you basically have to throw the pad out every time - plus these are expensive!

REVIEW: I’m Pro Ampoule Pad

The last product I’ll be talking about is the I’m Pro Ampoule Pad-C. It’s similar to the concept of the Bubble pad above, except this is a pad that’s soaked with ampoule and 10% vitamin C!

The Jolse listing recommends using the Bubble Peeling Pad and Ampoule Pad-C one after the other, which I did (my face feels super sensitive though).

Here are the features, courtesy of Jolse:

Groundbreaking pad & concentrated ampoule technology

Home spa product 

Gives maximized absorption and transmission into the skin

And here are the ingredients:

Water, Ascorbic Acid, Butylene Glycol, Alcohol, Diethoxyethyl Succinate, 1-2 Hexanediol, PEG-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Xanthan Gum, Sodium Bicarbonate, Potassium Hydroxide, Caprylyl Glycol, Pinus Radiata Bark Extract, PEG-1-PEG-9 Lauryl Glycol Ether, Coceth-7, Tocopheryl Acetate, Santalum Album (sandalwood) Oil, Backhousia Citriodora (lemon myrtle) Leaf Oil, Disodium EDTA, Aralia Elata Root Extract, Retinyl Palmitate, Arachis Hypogaea (peanut) Oil, PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Caprylhydroxamic Acid, Glycerin, Phellinus Linteus Extract, Wine Extract, Tocoppherol, Saccharomyces/Viscum Album (mistletoe) Ferment, Saccharomyces (Imperata Cylindrica) Root Ferment, Lactobacillus (soybean) Ferment

As I mentioned above, this pad has a pretty high concentration of vitamin C, especially if you've never tried a vitamin C serum before! I'd recommend working up to a 10% concentration first to avoid damage to your skin.

Retinyl palmitate has a 9 out of 9 safety on cosDNA, which isn’t a good thing unfortunately. However, studies have shown to be inconclusive and most products like this have stabilising agents that should stop it from causing any issues. It’s still something to be wary of though!

If you’re sensitive to peanuts or soy, just note that tere are extracts in here too.

The colour kinda reminds me of a bandaid...

How to use:

Balance out the skin by using toner after cleansing.

Place the Ampoule Pad band between the fingers and apply all over the face.

Tap the Ampoule Pad onto the skin to absorb

1 min later, massage the remaining ampoule onto the skin.

OVERALL RATING: 3 / 5

My face was definitely glowing after using this, although it was a bit sensitive after using the Bubble Peeling Pad before too. The next few days I had a nice glow to my skin too. 💖

While I did like the effect, a vitamin C serum could do the same thing and is a lot more cost effective. You could soak a cotton round with vitamin C and it’s basically the same product!

My overall opinion on Wish Formula is that while their products definitely have the convenience factor, they’re also quite expensive for what they are. The only time I could see myself using these things is if I’m travelling, since the packets are somewwat handy and no risk of breaking bottles.

Here's a look at some of the samples that came with this package! I personally don't like using samples that much, especially when I only get one foil packet since it's hard to actually gauge if a product is good or not. My skin has been kinda bad recently so I’ve been careful of what I put on it.

But here are some impressions of the products I did try:

Aloe Gel: I ran out of my Nature Republic aloe so I used this, and they feel fairly the same.

Fermented AC-X Spot: I don’t think this has any effect on my acne. And it smells bad.

Fermented Oil-free Dr Milk Sun Block: I don’t love it but I don’t hate it either. Has a pleasant smell but takes a while to blend out and has a white cast.

Reparative K Cream: A very heavy cream, a bit too much for me but was good for a quick behind-my-ears moisturiser and on dry patches around my house. haha. It claims to help repair your moisture barrier, which can be damaged when you overuse acids.

Thank you for reading everyone! I hope it was helpful, and I’m trying to work on more skincare reviews in the future. A big thanks to Jolse for sending me these products to try out, here are the links to the products again if you want to look into them further. ✨

You’re invited to the Summer Beauty Symposium in Toronto at Saks Fifth Avenue on June 8.

While we’re quick to tap and purchase any billowy dress or top-handle bag we see on our phones, most of us are a little more cautious when it comes to buying makeup and skin-care products online. In fact, 90 percent of beauty purchases take place in stores. It’s not enough for us to see how a saturated pink shadow looks on our favourite influencer—we want to touch it, examine it, and play with it for ourselves.

With that in mind, Saks Fifth Avenue is hosting Summer Beauty Week, taking place at all locations from June 6 to 9. The event focuses on “Feel-Good Summer Beauty” and gives you the chance to explore luxury skincare and fragrance brands and swap out your heavier products and darker shades for lighter ones—with the help of some special offers.

At Saks Toronto on June 8, there will also be a Summer Beauty Symposium for anyone who is interested in learning more about makeup, skincare and fragrances. Here, you can learn about innovative products and application practices through presentations by luxury beauty vendors DECORTÉ, Valmont and Chantecaille, meet the Founder of Ex Nihilo, Benoît Verdier, find professional makeup tutorials and demos at the counters of Trish McEvoy, Tata Harper, Clé de Peau, Laura Mercier, By Terry and Hermès, and get your hair braided or styled at RAINCRY. Not so familiar with these brands? You’re going to want to change that.

Japanese beauty brand DECORTÉ, which is exclusive to Saks Fifth Avenue in Canada, combines skincare and makeup with ancient Eastern medicine. Expect to learn about its products that are made with Japanese natural elements and tend to skin woes by using ingredients that are said to complement the body’s rhythms.

Valmont, whose products can be found at high-end spas across Canada, offers formulas that boast natural ingredients from Switzerland. You’ll learn about its products that focus on minimizing the signs of aging and have long-lasting results.

Chantecaille International Makeup Artist Harvey Tsao will explain and demonstrate the brand’s amazing eyelift service, and Ex Nihillo founder Benoît Verdier will show off the Parisian 
perfume house’s famous Osmologue, which is used to create demi-bespoke perfume on demand.

The schedule for the 30-minute presentations is as follows:

12PM – TRISH MCEVOY

1PM – CHANTECAILLE

2PM – EX NIHILO

3PM – VALMONT

4PM – DECORTÉ

You can reserve a seat at the Symposium or schedule a professional makeup tutorial by emailing SaksToronto@s5a.com or visiting any beauty counter in-store at Saks Toronto. For a glimpse at what you can expect at the Saks Toronto Summer Beauty Symposium, check out the video above.

What is Snap 8 Peptide?

Snap 8 is an elongation of the hexapeptide, acetyl hexapeptide-3, otherwise known as Argireline. It’s been nicknamed the “anti-wrinkle peptide”. Argireline is a peptide that prevents the formation of wrinkles around the eyes, brow, nose, and mouth – all of the areas of the face that allow us to make expressions and display emotion. How does it prevent wrinkles and lines?…

[glamchiclifestyle-blog]

I received the #Drpepti Peptide Volume Essence Premium for a trial fee from #08L in exchange for a review. Thank you @0.8liter and @dr.pepti. 🌟Claims: An essence that helps improve skin texture and elasticity. 🌟Notable Ingredients: Acetyl hexapeptide-8, rh-Oligopeptide-1 500ppm, Copper tripeptide-1 50ppm, Palmitoyl pentapeptide-4, and Centella Asiatica. 🌟Scent: Strong fragrance 🌟Use: After toning use 2-3 pumps and apply to face. Let the oxygen bubbles form and tap lightly to absorb. Honestly I really wanted to like this essence but I'm not a fan. It's so frustrating because I love skincare with peptides since my skin responds well to products with them. However, I really don't see any difference and it makes me look so greasy... why? I've tried putting it on first thing after toning, before moisturiser, before sunscreen and nothing works. I look like a grease ball whenever I use it and if I use a satin sunscreen forget it. I've been using it at night since I don't mind looking like a mirror at night 😂. The essence is full of nice ingredients but it doesn't absorb fully and sits on top of my skin. Not sure if it's because the essence bubbles or what but no go, that's not even counting the super strong fragrance. Anyways, I really tried to like it but it didn't work for me and for the price I wouldn't recommend.
