HydroPeptide® Sales Soar while Latisse® is Lashed by the FDA

The Food and Drug Administration has warned Allergan Inc., the maker of Latisse®, that the web site for its eyelash thickener is misleading because it avoids or downplays risks associated with the product.

HydroPeptide® Lash Longer Fuller Lusher is quickly becoming America’s favorite new lash product due to its drug-free formulation and impressive results. On Sept. 10, the FDA sent a letter to Allergan Inc. informing the company that they have misbranded Latisse® and are in violation of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. The violation is that “the Latisse® site either doesn't mention potential side effects including bacterial eye infection, allergic reactions, excess hair growth outside the intended treatment area, and permanent changes in iris and eyelid pigmentation, or presents them in small text that is much less prominent than statements about the product's effectiveness.”

HydroPeptide® Lash’s popularity is increasing in part because companies like Allergan, Inc., Athena Cosmetics, Inc., and Jan Marini Skin Research, Inc. include drugs in their products or have included them in the past. In 2007, U.S. Marshals seized 12,682 applicator tubes of Jan Marini’s Age Intervention Eyelash. The FDA requested that the products be seized because the “use of Age Intervention Eyelash may cause other adverse effects in certain people due to the bimatoprost, including macular edema (swelling of the retina) and uveitis (inflammation in the eye), which may lead to decreased vision.”

HydroPeptide® Lash does not contain “glaucoma type meds” like Latisse®, Peter Thomas Roth Lashes To Die for, Lilash or MD Lash Factor. HydroPeptide Lash Longer Fuller Lusher is drug-free and is the first product without prostaglandin to pioneer the power of plant stem cell and growth factor technology to nourish and revive lashes and brows.

“We would never put drugs with harmful side effects in our products,” said Dr. Louise Peck, PhD and founder of HydroPeptide®. “That’s just not something we believe in at HydroPeptide®. We fully disclose our ingredients and I’m sure our customers appreciate it”

HydroPeptide® Lash will NOURISH, STIMULATE, HYDRATE, and PROTECT skin addressing many aspects of the Simply Ageless Skin Key™. Dr. Peck’s philosophy is the Simply Ageless Skin Key™ which is a stress free guide to looking ageless. Anti-aging products must tackle each aspect to effectively counter-act aging. HydroPeptide® simplifies life by addressing as many elements as possible in as few steps as possible. Go to HydroPeptide.com to learn more.

HydroPeptide® Lash Longer Fuller Lusher is currently available in prestige retail locations nationwide and at http://hydropeptide.com. HydroPeptide® Lash is .17 ounces and retails for $130. Formulated for all skin types.

Latisse Eyelash Growth Product Gets FDA Warning

Posted by truthinaging.com:

"The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has warned Allergan, the makers of Botox, that the website for its eyelash growth product, Latisse, is misleading because it avoids or downplays risks associated with the product. The FDA said that Latisse, a prescription only product, either doesn’t mention potential side effects including bacterial eye infection, allergic reactions, excess hair growth outside the intended treatment area, and permanent changes in iris and eyelid pigmentation, or presents them in small text that is much less prominent than statements about the product’s effectiveness. In some cases, pages on the Web site leaves out information that is included in Latisse packaging."

Latisse VS HydroPeptide Lash:

• Latisse (3ml) is only an 8 week supply (60 applicators) - results take 8 weeks with best results occurring at 16 weeks. Two bottles ($200-240) is needed to achieve those results. According Latisse.com, eye irritation, dryness of the eyes, redness of the eyelids and skin darkening (or hyperpigmentation) are potential side effects. In addition, there is a risk of permanent brown iris pigmentation.
• HydroPeptide Lash (5ml) is a 24 week supply (without the hassle of applicators) with significant results occurring on a similar schedule; however only one bottle is needed to achieve significant results ($130).
• HydroPeptide Lash is drug free and has no risk of side effects, such as itching (the most common side effect associated with Latisse). HydroPeptide Lash coupled with the Anti-Wrinkle Dark Circle Concentrate addresses all eye related concerns.

Product Review – HydroPeptide Eye Cream

The ones I’ve found in the past always seem to be good at moisturizing, but they don’t do much else. So, when my friend recommended HydroPeptide Anti-Wrinkle Dark Circle Concentrate, I thought it would be another cream with big promises but no results. Lucky for me, I was wrong.I’ve been using the eye cream for six weeks now, and I’m really pleased with the results. My dark circles are definitely less noticeable. I can actually leave the house without concealer!

HydroPeptide Serum Reviewed and Recommended

It is nearly a year ago since I first came across Azure Cosmeceuticals Hydropeptide Serum. I was excited to see a sophisticated concoction of peptides and epidermal growth factors and I was about to whip out my credit card when I looked further down the ingredients list and my purchase was put off by peptides, triethanolamine, silicones and phenoxyethanol. Then a few weeks ago, Azure sent me the Hydropeptide Serum ($130) and it seems to have been reformulated to appeal to my flexible friend (although there is still one silicone and the phenoxyethanol is a bit high up the list for my liking). I have been testing it ever since and have noticed a smoother, brighter complexion, diminishing fine lines and a more even skin tone.

HydroPeptide Gets a New Look – and a New Face

The HydroPeptide® Collection receives a complete makeover. HydroPeptide® Face Intensive Concentrate Anti-Aging Corrective Crème is now HydroPeptide® Face Anti-Wrinkle Repair and Prevent Treatment.

Change happens for a reason. For years, HydroPeptide® Face Intensive Concentrate Anti-Aging Corrective Crème has been a favorite of spa directors, beauty editors and consumers. It has been a bestselling product in dermatology offices, high-end day spas and salons. Users love the fast-acting restorative results and protective capabilities of this anti-aging treatment. New HydroPeptide® Face outperforms these high expectations. The product is repackaged, renamed and has been updated with the latest state-of-the-art collagen boosting peptides, 16 antioxidants and ECOCERT organic ingredients. New HydroPeptide® Face promises to change the look and feel of skin.

This potent, yet refreshing and light cream defines “anti-wrinkle” with its ability to revive lifeless skin. HydroPeptide® Face Anti-Wrinkle Repair and Prevent Treatment produced a 350 percent improvement on wrinkles compared to a placebo. Fine lines and wrinkles were reduced by as much as 63 percent in 30 days and the deep wrinkle surface area demonstrated a maximum reduction of 98 percent in 56 days. The antioxidants within HydroPeptide® Face fool free radicals and reactive oxygen species (ROS) into thinking their outer electrons are paired – ending their vicious cell-damaging cycle.

HydroPeptide® Face is enriched with a multitude of potent antioxidants, including Vitamins C and E, Green and Black Tea, Gotu Kola and Superoxidase Dismutase. These shield skin from the most dangerous free radicals that contribute to wrinkle development. There is research proving that topical application of antioxidants is just as important as antioxidants taken within the body. HydroPeptide® Face provides the stability cells need to remain healthy and young as well as reconstructive and stem cell mimicking peptides and neuropeptides that help correct the problem when damage has already taken place.

HydroPeptide® Face Anti-Wrinkle Repair and Prevent Treatment will RELAXy, NOURISH^, STIMULATE~, HYDRATES, and PROTECTd skin addressing many aspects of the Simply Ageless Skin Key™. Dr. Peck’s philosophy is the Simply Ageless Skin Key™ which is a stress free guide to looking ageless. Anti-aging products must tackle each aspect to effectively counter-act aging.

HydroPeptide Lip Plumper Perfects Your Pout

Posted by Copley:“I have in my hands Hydropeptide Lip Plumper, a very different product from its predecessor. Instead of a spicy sting, this plumper treats my lips to a refreshingly mild tingle and strawberry taste. The texture is neither too sticky nor too wet, and the color is a natural pink without overdoing the shine factor. My lips appear noticeably fuller and smoother.”
