Everything you need to know about acetyl hexapeptide-8

Our skin is like a living organism: it breathes, interacts and absorbs information from everything it encounters. And without healthy skin, we are vulnerable to the effects of everything we encounter. The most common signs of your skin ageing can be seen through those pesky lines and uneven skin tone. Thankfully, there are plenty of skincare products and procedures available currently in the market to help us look younger and reduce wrinkles. However, we must highlight that not all tiny jars of anti-ageing serums or creams are worth half your paycheque. Worse, as you leap over the mark of 30, your skin’s ceramide levels deteriorate each day. This decrease in essential lipids causes the skin to appear dry, saggy and dull. While little can be done to stop the ageing process, what if we tell you that there is a serum that can improve the texture and appearance of your skin as you age?

What is Acetyl Hexapeptide-8?

Commonly referred to as “Botox in a jar”, this ingredient is a peptide compound that is used to reduce the appearance of wrinkles brought on by repeated facial expressions, such as smiling, frowning or furrowing the brow in deep concentration or frustration. To that it is known as one of the most powerful actives to help rebuild this key “scaffolding” protein, Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 promotes skin’s natural production of collagen-I, the crucial protein found in over 85 percent of the facial skin.

Subsequently, the scientists at Estée Lauder have identified and targeted over 25 interconnected “pathways” promoting the skin’s natural proteins, lipids, moisturisation and plumping, and skin cell turnover. This research led to a holistic solution to visible skin firming and lifting new Perfectionist Pro Rapid Firm + Lift Treatment Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 works comprehensively to resurface, rebuild, and refill the look of the skin for total facial rejuvenation.

What are the benefits?

Estée Lauder Perfectionist Pro Rapid Firm + Lift Treatment with Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 is a serum engineered for skin perfection. The most obvious benefit is that its method of delivery is much less invasive than that of Botox or collagen injections, which can be extremely painful. In addition to that, this high-speed, custom-designed rebuilding peptide in Estée Lauder Perfectionist Pro is specifically bio-engineered to help the skin increase its natural production of the most important type of collagen: Collagen-I. Because this specific type of collagen makes up more than 85 percent of the skin’s natural collagen structure, it is a significant key to rebuilding a more defined and lifted look in the facial area.

Is it an effective ingredient to target multiple zones on the skin?

The breakdown in collagen as the skin ages results in loss of plumpness, density and overall facial shape definition. Leveraging over two decades of Collagen-I research, Estée Lauder scientists selected a precision-engineered peptide, Acetyl Hexapeptide-8. It was referred that professionals use a holistic approach from forehead to jawline for total rejuvenation. Inspired by their approach, Perfectionist Pro targets the whole face, including multiple facial zones: along the jawline, cheeks, even stubborn laugh lines (otherwise known as nasolabial folds). With continuous use, it diminishes the look of lines and wrinkles. Skin tone appears brighter and even. The skin’s texture is smoother and softer, and pores appear minimised.

How does Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 affect the skin after application?

For one, it provides rapid firming and lifting results. Upon application, you will instantly see your skin more radiant, hydrated and rejuvenated. As the Perfectionist Pro Rapid Firm + Lift Treatment Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 serum is designed to provide high-performance, rapid, visible results, the skin is more hydrated and radiant in just one day. Within three days, the skin is resurfaced, softer and looks more plumped. And in just 14 days of usage, your skin will thank you as it becomes firmer and facial contours are evidently more lifted. The best part is when the skin appears less lined and suppler.
