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.
