The Basics Of Antioxidants

Antioxidants have received a lot of buzz in the beauty industry, but many consumers don’t completely understand their benefits for the skin. Antioxidants are chemicals that protect cells by neutralizing external forces including sun damage and pollution. They also protect against internal factors like changing emotions and metabolism. Antioxidants like vitamin A, C, and E help repair skin and strengthen blood vessels. Antioxidants are also important because they fight off free radicals.

The Hydropeptide line contains over 10 free radical fighting super-antioxidants. It is the first skincare line of its kind to create products that protect your skin using a highly effective combination of antioxidants and peptides. Simply put, the Hydropeptide line effectively utilizes antioxidants to ward off unwanted signs of aging.

Why Are Some Anti-Aging Skin Care Companies Risking Our Health?

Recently, the FDA seized Jan Marini Skin Research's (JMSR) Age Intervention Eyelash product. This then caused Athena to withdraw it's current stock of Revitalash and begin the reformulation process. Let me clarify that the FDA seized JMSR's dicontinued eye lash conditioner. The discontinued product contained bimatoprost, an FDA regulated glaucoma drug not indicated for cosmetics. The original formula was launched in October of 2005, but JMSR was forced to reformulate in September of 2006 with a nearly identical product -- without bimatoprost, but instead latanoprost. JMSR still firmly denies either formula posed health risks, but the FDA said that the product may cause swelling of the retina, which could lead to decreased vision.

Revitalash, which was formulated by an ophthalmologist with the highly concerning ingredient bimatoprost, continued to sell it's product until the recent seizure. My question is why are some anti-aging skin care companies risking our health? If something poses a threat, shouldn't it be tested until all concerns are resolved? Are some skin care companies worried more about their bottom line than their client's safety? My next big question is, if Athena withdrawled the Revitalash, why is Skinstore.com still selling the product, even with a holiday promotion? Does anyone care about it's customers?

Azure Cosmeceuticals does. Azure doesn't just jump on a trend to make a profit. Azure uses both natural and lab created ingredients to ensure its clients with medical grade ingredients that are tested for safety, efficacy, and stability. The HydroPeptide Collection will not cause any harmful side effects, it will produce amazing results, and the product will last.

Lori Ellis, RN, Medical Aesthetician, Reiki Master, and owner of Healing Touch Skin Care and Wellness Spa.
AZ: Lori, can you tell me a little about Healing Touch Skin Care? What do you offer?
LE: At Healing Touch, we focus on each client uniquely, to recommend therapies that heal from the inside out. We serve as a direct channel to each client's best health & wellness.

We really focus on wellness.
AZ: I love the personalized approach you take and how you really focus on wellness as a whole. That's something that's truly unique. I know you've told me time and time again how much you love the HydroPeptide and the HydroPeptide Facial (you've mentioned that it's your number one seller) but what's your favorite product in this amazing anti-wrinkle collection?
LE: The Intensive Concentrate Anti-Aging Corrective Creme (or for short, the face creme) first and foremost is my favorite. You experience results quickly. The overall condition of my client's skin has really improved, hyperpigmentation has decreased and there's less wrinkling. I love it, but another one I really love is the cleanser (Anti-Aging Infusing Cleanser). This has really cleared my client's acne skin and reduced the acne scarring. Skin is overall healthier and that's what my practice is really about.

Azure Cosmeceuticals, Leaders in Peptide-Based Anti-Aging Skin Care, Gives Back

Azure Cosmeceuticals welcomes the opportunity to give back to the community. Azure realizes that even though they offer prestige anti-aging skin care products that only a select number of consumers can afford, everyone deserves to feel beautiful. Azure donated several gift baskets filled with HydroPeptide age-defying, anti-wrinkle creams which would be both donated for holiday cheer and auctioned silently. Many companies are presented with the opportunity to give back to the community and welcomes the publicity, but Azure gives back to really "give back".

Who were among the select charities? The American Cancer Society, the Salvation Army, and the Department of Air Force. Chris Micheal, Vice President of Sales, says,

"Having experienced the trama of cancer first hand in my family, I know that the research done by the American Cancer Society is not only important but lifesaving."

Azure employs a number of recent college grads who still remember the days of shopping at the Salvation Army. We realize the Salvation Army does much more than offer second hand clothes, they provide assistance to those in real need and we want to do our part. And who wouldn't want to give back to the Department of Air Force who protects our country, allowing us to work and live freely every day. Azure Cosmeceuticals appreciates this opportunity to "give back".

"One, the product is great. There are so many quality, high-performance ingredients in the collection that my clients see results. Two, the price point is great. You can search and you won't find another product with as many actives as this, at key percentages. Three, customer service is great. Azure is always there to take care of me."

Lori Ellis of Healing Touch Skin Care says,

"It's the only thing that's selling on my menu!"

With the success at ISPA, Azure plans on expanding the HydroPeptide Collection to reknowned resort spas. It won't be long until you see the HydroPeptide Collagen-Boosting Anti-Aging Facial on your spa's menus.

Secrets to Beautiful Eyes

Many may know that the HydroPeptide Extreme Dark Circle Concentrate helps lighten and brighten the orbital area. HydroPeptide eye only describes part of its action. This amazing eye creme does a phenomenal job with fine lines, wrinkles, and puffiness. The secret to beautiful eyes involves both product and technique.
1. Place your index fingers in the depressions a half-inch below the inner edge of your eyebrows, below the brow bone (on either side of the narrowest part of your nose), and gently press in and upward.
2. Hook your index fingers over the edge of the infraorbital ridge (the bone below each eye) at teh very center, aligned with your pupils, and apply gentle pressure on the ridge.
3. Place a small dab of HydroPeptide Extreme Dark Circle Creme on the ring finger. Pat the under eye area, just below the lower eye lashes and just above the upper crease.
4. Beautiful eyes are revealed immediately. They're brigher, lighter, and rejuvenated.
Remember to eat healthy and get plenty of sleep to look healthier and sexier than ever.

The Results Speak For Themselves

Many women develop stretch marks or notice a reduction in firmness as they age. Thankfully, Hydropeptide has created a product to alleviate these problems. The Hydropeptide Full-Body Anti Aging Moisturizer with Stretch Mark Repair is a multi-tasking wonder product. It will restore firmness, elasticity and hydration to the skin. Moisture is delivered deep down to the lowest layers of the epidermis for intense hydration. The unique formula also activates new collagen and elastin formation. The best part? According to clinical studies, women with visible deep stretch marks acquired during pregnancy saw dramatic results after applying this product daily. On average, stretch marks were reduced by 72%. When it comes to products from the Hydropeptide line, the results clearly speak for themselves.

Toss Aside Your Under Eye Concealer For Good!

Are you sick of looking tired every morning? Do you wake up with dark circles and bags under your eyes even though you have had a full night’s rest? You are not alone. Over the years, I have consistently woken up with dark circles under my eyes even though I eat right, exercise, and take care of my skin. I have tried so many crèmes, serums, potions and lotions with no improvements. It wasn’t until I started using the HydroPeptide Eye Extreme Dark Circle Concentrate that I actually saw a change. This product contains ingredients that strengthen the capillaries under the eyes, increase circulation, and ultimately reduce the appearance of under eye circles. The HydroPeptide Dark Circle Concentrate offers immediate results using crushed pearls which refract light, increase luminosity, and improves clarity.

Confused About Anti-Aging Skin Care?

Skincare products have increasingly become complex. There are day creams, night creams, serums, and anti-aging treatments containing a long list of active ingredients such as retinol, glycolic acid, peptides and antioxidants. All of this has left consumers unnecessarily confused about which ingredients and products are best for their skin
This is why Azure Cosmeceuticals created its newest product line HydroPeptide. HydroPeptide is the only skincare line on the market that contains eleven collagen boosting peptides, ten super-antioxidants and an exclusive blend of anti-aging ingredients. All ingredients in the HydroPeptide line are carefully blended together to perform synergistically to create a youthful complexion that stands the test of time.
HydroPeptide has simplified the search for younger looking skin by offering products that contain the best ingredients available today. Great looking skin doesn’t have to involve spending hours trying to figure out which products have the best ingredients for your skin. Simplify your beauty routine without sacrificing results with the HydroPeptide collection.

Can't Live Without My HydroPeptide!

Ever since I started working for Azure Cosmeceuticals, I have been so intrigued by other skin care products. I have the opportunity to try a multiple number of spendy competitor products. It is amazing how, like a little puppy, I always return to my HydroPeptide, especially my HydroPeptide Cellular Transformation Growth Serum. This formulation is to die for. Not only does it look good on paper, but the results are incredible.

HydroPeptide Cellular Transformation Growth Serum is the newest addition to the HydroPeptide product line (although there are many exciting things I myself have been guinea pig of). The serum has 4 of the newest peptides on the market (and in case we need to review, peptides are amino acid chains or protein fragments found naturally within the body). These peptides work in a variety of ways. First, they increase the natural production of collagen and elastin (elements that decline in production as we age). Second, they decrease the strength of muscle contractions that cause wrinkles (don't be alarmed, they only relax the muscle, no paralyzation here and no botulism). Perhaps the most exciting thing are the growth factors. These are proteins naturally found in the body that have won the noble peace prize for their role in wound healing. They go beyond the peptides by increasing not only collagen and elastin, but also blood vessel permeability (which makes active ingredients more effective). Clinical studies show 80% of study participants to experience a smooth effect after 28 days and inhibit wrinkle-causing muscle contractions for up to 24 hours. Azure Cosmeceuticals couldn't stop there. They had to think of all the dimensions of aging.

As we age, skin thins and elasticity is lost (got this one covered). Plus, skin cell turnover slows (check, they got vitamin a which speeds skin cell renewal). Also, free radicals attack and cause collagen-breakdown (oh, antioxidants such as vitamin c, copper, zinc, alpha lipoic acid, and dmae help with that). What about firming? Peptides, alpha lipoic acid and DMAE help with that. What about moisture? Hyaluronic acid is excellent for that (in fact preferred for its moisture binding excellence). Like I said, you're covered and nothing less but satisfied.

What do the competitors think? I've heard TNS is reformulating their stinky-feet smelling cream and the rest are just starting to research peptides.

As with all Azure Cosmeceuticals products, this fine product can be found at your local spa, skin care clinic, or dermatologist office (without a prescription) for only $119.99 (what a steal). Try it (after you take your before pictures) and let us see your experience.
