3.
Elastin Peptides (Hydrolyzed Elastin) primarily occupy the upper layers of the stratum corneum, acting as a moisture-locking shield that prevents transepidermal water loss (TEWL) and provides immediat
e surface elasticity.
By combining these three distinct molecular weights, you ensure that every layer of the skin receives targeted structural support, resulting in a comprehensive, multi-dimensional firming effect.
STEP-BY-STEP MORNING (AM) & EVENING (PM) ROUTINE
No.2
To achieve the best results from your youth-preserving skincare routine, it is essential to layer these active ingredients correctly.
The general rule of cosmetic application is to apply products from thinnest to thickest consistency (water-based serums first, followed by emulsions, oils, and creams) while respecting ingredient comp
atibility.
MORNING (AM) ROUTINE: HYDRATION, PROTECTION, AND SURFACE ELASTICITY
The morning routine should focus on protecting the skin from environmental stressors, maintaining optimal hydration, and enhancing surface elasticity for a smooth, radiant appearance.
No.3
STEP 1: GENTLE CLEANSER
Begin with a mild, non-stripping cleanser to remove overnight sebum without disrupting the delicate skin barrier.
STEP 2: HYDRATING TONER
Apply a hydrating, pH-balanced toner to prep the skin and enhance the absorption of subsequent active ingredients.
STEP 3: SYN-COLL & ELASTIN PEPTIDE SERUM
No.4
Apply a water-based serum containing SYN-COLL and Hydrolyzed Elastin.
This combination delivers immediate hydration to the skin's surface while sending signals to support collagen synthesis throughout the day.
STEP 4: AGE-DEFYING MOISTURIZER
Follow with a lightweight, lipid-rich moisturizer to lock in the peptides and reinforce the skin's moisture barrier.
Look for formulas containing ceramides or squalane to complement the hydrating properties of the elastin peptides.
No.5
STEP 5: BROAD-SPECTRUM SUNSCREEN
Finish with a high-SPF, broad-spectrum sunscreen. UV radiation is the primary cause of collagen and elastin degradation (photoaging).
Protecting your skin from UV rays is non-negotiable when working to improve skin elasticity.
EVENING (PM) ROUTINE: REPAIR, REMODELING, AND DEEP NOURISHMENT
The evening routine is dedicated to cellular renewal, barrier repair, and deep structural support. This is the ideal time to introduce Copper Peptides.
No.6
STEP 1: DOUBLE CLEANSE
Start with an oil-based cleanser to dissolve makeup, sunscreen, and daily pollutants, followed by a water-based cleanser to ensure a perfectly clean canvas.
STEP 2: COPPER PEPTIDE SERUM
Apply your GHK-Cu serum directly to clean, dry skin.
Because copper peptides are highly active, applying them as the first treatment step allows for optimal absorption and interaction with the skin barrier.
No.7
*Formulation Note:* Avoid using strong exfoliating acids (like glycolic or salicylic acid) or pure Vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid) in the same evening routine as your copper peptides.
If you wish to use exfoliating acids, alternate nights to prevent ingredient degradation.
STEP 3: SYN-COLL & ELASTIN EMULSION
Once the copper peptide serum has fully absorbed (usually within 2 to 3 minutes), apply a nourishing emulsion or cream containing SYN-COLL and Elastin Peptides to provide continuous structural support
