December, 2009: Inyline™
(An Anti-aging Hexapeptide) INYLINE™ is a new hexapeptide developed by Lipotec that has been specifically designed using the molecular modeling technique. As biological activity is dependent on three-dimensional placement of specific functional groups or domains, molecular modeling allows designing this type of structures and simulate its behavior in the space. INYLINE™ was designed according to the predicted structure of agrin's binding domain of MuSK's tyrosine kinase domain by molecular modeling.

December, 2008: Preventhelia™
(An Anti-aging Tetrapeptide) Lipotec has developed a new tetrapeptide obtained from a focused peptide library, specifically identified to fight the detrimental effects of UV radiation in human skin. PREVENTHELIA™ is a peptide born from preventive cosmetics: it acts by scavenging RCS and preventing skin from photoaging.

I currently have been using this serum every morning for the last 4 months and absolutely love it!

Just a little diagram about the effects of skin aging and skin photoaging and why it is so important to use potent products to help with anti-aging!

These complexion pads are the only pads I have ever seen that have 5% salicylic acid. Usually they only have a 2% salicylic acid. These pads also have citric acid as well as the salicylic. I use these every night to help on my jawline. The jawline is where hormonal acne occurs in most women around their time of the month, pregnancy or menopause.

I want to touch on a few products and share information about what these products are supposed to do for the skin.
