If you want to turn back the hands of time, defy the signs of aging and look forever young, then science just may have a powerful weapon for you to use in your quest for younger, healthy, and wrinkle free skin. This amazing discovery is called Matrixyl and the results of its clinical studies have been so successful that they have scientists saying that it will give Botox injections a run for their money when it comes to fighting wrinkles.

Matrixyl the trademark for palmitoyl pentapeptide 3 is an amino peptide complex that stimulates the lower layers of the skin increasing the production of collagen. Matrixyl first came to the notice of the world in 2002 when the results of a four month French study involving women ages 34 to 72 were presented to the World congress of Dermatology. The results of the study reviled topical application of non prescription Matrixyl :

Significantly reduced deep and moderate wrinkles with 68% reduction of deep wrinkles and a 51 % reduction of moderate wrinkles

Improvement in the appearance of age spots, dark circles under the eyes and skin firmness.

Improvement in the appearance of photo aged skin.

Decreases in facial lines.

Women who had used Matrixyl throughout the study experienced dramatic results as quickly as 2 months and did not experience the irritation or inflammation associated with other age defying skin care ingredients. The results of this study has been confirmed by other separate studies that also showed positive changes in elastin, collagen and skin firmness as well as a reduction in the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and age spots.

For those who want a non surgical solution to fighting the signs of aging Matrixyl is the answer they have been searching for.
