In March of this year we announced our new partnership with Betty Faye Beauty Bar on a clinical grade skin care line. We started with 4 great products: Biopeptide Anti-Aging Cream, Biopeptide Glycolic Acid Night Cream, Clarifying Daily Moisturizer, & Collagen Hand Lotion.
In August, we just launched 5 new products! (See all our products below)
Stop by to check out the silky, skin-repairing Collagen Body Lotion + GHK-Cu, the Azelaic Acid Clarifying Cream, the skin calming Rebalance + Hydration Mist, and our two awesome serums.
Keep reading to learn more about our two new power packed blue serums! (Don’t worry, the blue color comes from the GHK-Cu and the methylene blue, but it will not stain your skin.)
Modern skincare has moved so far beyond simply moisturizing the surface of the skin. Some of the most exciting ingredients we use in our clinical grade skin care line are designed to strategically support the biological processes that influence the way skin looks, feels, and ages by working within your skin rather than on top of it.
Let’s take a deeper look at the three clinically active ingredients that are the power houses in our two blue serums: GHK-Cu, Acetyl Hexapeptide-8, and Methylene Blue.
GHK-Cu is a naturally occurring copper-binding peptide that has attracted significant attention lately for its role in skin remodeling and repair.
Research suggests that GHK-Cu supports the production of important components of the extracellular matrix, including collagen, elastin, and glycosaminoglycans. Studies of topical GHK-Cu formulations have also reported improvements in skin density and thickness, fine lines, wrinkles, firmness, and overall appearance.
Think of GHK-Cu as a “repair signal” for the skin helping support the processes involved in maintaining a strong, healthy-looking skin structure.
Its potential benefits include:
GHK-Cu is also known as Copper Tripeptide-1. This key ingredient appears in both of our fantastic serums.
Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 is a small peptide we LOVE in advanced anti-aging skincare. Unlike ingredients that primarily focus on hydration or exfoliation, this peptide is used to specifically target the appearance of expression lines.
Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 works in the skin to make it look smoother and more relaxed, particularly in areas where repetitive facial movement contributes to visible lines. We consider it a neuro-active peptide.
Our Repair+Smooth Peptide Serum combines GHK-Cu 1% with Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 5% for a two-pronged approach:
GHK-Cu → supports skin structure and repair
Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 → helps improve the appearance of expression-related lines
The result is a sophisticated peptide combination designed to address both the quality of the skin and the appearance of fine lines.
This powerful anti-aging serum is also supported by clinical grade hyaluronic acid 0.5%.
Methylene blue may be one of the most intriguing ingredients in modern skin longevity research.
Although it has a long history of use taken orally for various purposes, researchers have also investigated methylene blue for its potential effects on cellular oxidative stress and mitochondrial function.
In laboratory studies using human skin fibroblasts and reconstructed human skin models, methylene blue demonstrated antioxidant activity and effects associated with fibroblast proliferation, skin viability, wound healing, hydration, and dermal thickness. Researchers also observed positive changes involving extracellular matrix proteins such as collagen and elastin.
This is particularly interesting because oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction are associated with the biological processes of skin aging.
Methylene blue therefore represents a different approach to skin longevity, one of defense against outside causes of damage.
Our Repair+Defend Serum combines GHK-Cu 1% with Methylene Blue 0.000064%, along with support from hyaluronic acid 0.5%:
GHK-Cu → supports skin structure and repair
Methylene Blue → defends against oxidative stress
Choose Repair+Smooth Peptide Serum if your primary goals are:
Choose Repair+Defend Serum if your primary goals are:
And for the skincare enthusiast who wants to take a comprehensive approach, the two formulas can be incorporated into different parts of a personalized routine.
