Elevate

Do not apply to the face. Upon application you may feel a slight warming sensation and a noticeable increase in circulation. These should subside after a few minutes.

Avena Sativa (Oat) Kernel — A nourishing, lightweight oil that readily absorbs into the skin. Oat oil helps repair the skin barrier by increasing ceramide levels, reducing inflammation, and providing an occlusive humectant layer that prevents TEWL. This antioxidant is rich in vitamin E and fatty acids.

Copper Lysinate/Prolinate — An essential amino acid and mineral combo that works synergistically with formula ingredients to increase collagen I and II and elastin. It increases volume, plumps the skin, strengthens, and reduces wrinkles and fine lines.

Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate — A newer retinoid that provides increased retinoic activity without the potential irritations of traditional vitamin A ingredients. It binds directly to the cell receptors to initiate proliferation and differentiation, without needing to be metabolically broken down or converted before use.

Prunus Armeniaca Kernel Oil (Apricot) — Apricot oil is like sebum in composition, which helps it readily absorb into the epidermis. It is skin conditioning and contains gamma-linoleic acid, which can tone and firm the skin. This oil is deeply nourishing, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory, with rich concentrations of vitamins E, A, and K. Vitamin K is known to reduce dark circles and improve wound healing.

Pseudoalteromonas Ferment Extract — A fermented ingredient derived from a deep-sea bacterium in Antarctica. It creates a polysaccharide that improves hydration and water holding capacity by stimulating HA and filaggrin. This extract reduces sensitivity and inflammation. It has also been shown to increase elastin and collagens I and IV synthesis. The ferment includes amino acids glycine, histidine, and lysine, and can reduce wrinkles, smooth the skin, and reinforce dermal structures.

Tremella Mushroom Extract — This unique mushroom is 400x more moisturizing than sodium hyaluronate. It softens, increases hydration, and plumps the skin to diminish the look of fine lines and wrinkles. Snow mushroom extract also increases superoxide dismutase (SOD) production, which defends against free radicals.

Trifluoroacetyl-Tripeptide-2 (TT2) — TT2 helps the synthesis of proteoglycans in cell-matrix interactions along with synedcan1. It also prevents progerin aggregates, which disfigure the nucleolus of cells, to delay premature aging. Proteoglycans are a major component of the extracellular matrix (or filler substance) between cells. They form large complexes both to other proteoglycans, hyaluronan, and fibers such as collagen. They are also involved in binding actions with sodium, potassium, calcium, and water, and regulate the movement of molecules through the matrix. They are very important in the activities and stability of proteins and signaling molecules in normal cell activity.
