While it pays to protect your skin from outside factors by wearing sunscreen and developing a healthier lifestyle, time marches on no matter what you do. And age is the enemy of elastic, healthy, young-looking skin. That's because as we age, our skin stops producing collagen, which contributes to skin strength and elasticity. Its degradation leads to wrinkles that accompany aging. Although many skin care products tout the fact that they contain collagen, the fact is that collagen is too large to be absorbed directly through the skin.
But collagen production can be stimulated by peptides, chains of amino acids that are found naturally in the body. This stimulation makes it possible to slow down the effects of aging and diminish facial wrinkles. That is why skin care products that contain peptides are the most effective anti-aging insurance you can buy.
Chellá professional skin care line contains peptides to naturally stimulate your existing collagen and elastins with the patent pending special formulation called Chell-x Complex to make your skin look and feel years younger. In addition, it nourishes and helps restore your skin's elastin properties.
The Peptides in Chellá's formulations and wrinkle cream have communication properties and help act as messengers at the cellular level. As messengers, these peptides can send signals that help stimulate the synthesis of collagen.
The company's in vitro studies showed that the collagen peptides in its proprietary formulations increased the synthesis of collagen by fibroblasts by 350 percent. The peptides used in Chellá's formulations were shown to provide UVA protection to existing collagen in vitro. The peptides also stimulated the syntheses of Hyaluronic acid, a key ingredient in the connective tissue and hydration of the skin, by 146 percent.
These in vitro clinical studies on women showed these test results after one month of treatment with Chellá's wrinkle creams (these are average results based on twice daily usage):
- Mean depth of wrinkles decreased by 23 percent
- Depth of main wrinkle (crows-feet) decreased by up to 50 percent
- Thickening of the skin increased by 4 percent
