New Directions Progeline

Progeline

Australian formulated PROGELINE prepared in an aqueous solution, is a synthetic ACTIVE ingredient that emulates the skin's natural PEPTIDES by decreasing the production of PROGERIN, a PROTEIN in skin that speeds up cellular ageing. By decreasing the production of PROGERIN the youthful appearance of the skin is maintained with benefits including an increase in skin elasticity; skin cells being able to regenerate faster; and activating the body's modulation of PROGERIN to reduce the signs of aging.

Also-called: Aqua | What-it-does: solvent

Good old water, aka H2O. The most common skincare ingredient of all. You can usually find it right in the very first spot of the ingredient list, meaning it’s the biggest thing out of all the stuff that makes up the product. 

It’s mainly a solvent for ingredients that do not like to dissolve in oils but rather in water. 

What-it-does: viscosity controlling

We don't have description for this ingredient yet.

Also-called: Progeline | What-it-does: cell-communicating ingredient

A 3 amino-acid peptide that works by inhibiting the production of progerin, a cell-aging accelerator protein.  The manufacturer claims that Trifluoroacetyl Tripeptide-2 can bring back cell activity to a 20-year-old young cell level and the ingredient can nicely increase skin elasticity, firmness and reduce skin-sagging

In their in-vivo (made on real people) tests, they found that 2%  Progeline cream can lift the sagging jaw-line by up to 10% in 56 days and improve skin elasticity and firmness by about 20% in 28 days.
