Science 101:

WHAT ARE PEPTIDES?

Peptides are short chains of amino acids, linked

together by peptide bonds. There are 20 different

naturally-occurring amino acids, which can be linked

together in any order to give millions of different

peptide combinations. Our skin is naturally overflowing

with different kinds of proteins and peptides, including

some of the most important, collagen and elastin,

which are both responsible for retaining the skin’s

natural strength, resilience and suppleness.

When applied to the skin, peptides can act as

chemical messengers, communicating with cells to

perform a specific function and triggering a response in

the skin. They give your skin a specific instruction to do

‘something’, and that ‘something’ entirely depends on

what order your amino acids are in. Every peptide has

a unique superpower to target different skin concerns,

including fine lines and wrinkles, lost volume, dull and

uneven skin tone, pigmentation, and to help combat

Advanced Glycation End (AGE) product formation, a

metabolic process that damages collagen in the body.

TARGETS PIGMENTATION

IN 3 WAYS

Alongside oxyresveratrol, Oxy-R Peptides

contains two additional powerful

brightening peptides. Tetrapeptide-30

is a peptide that helps to interrupt the

pathways that lead to discolourations and

uneven skin tone, while Acetyl Glycyl

Beta-Alanine helps to inhibit the transport

of melanin to the skin, where the

overproduction of pigment become visible

on the complexion.

Combined with oxyresveratrol, this

powerhouse trio offers new hope to

pigmentation sufferers.

The 1% oxyresveratrol solution is stored

in a patented preservation system in the

lid of the bottle until it is plunged into the

rest of the formula using ‘click to activate’

packaging. To further ensure maximum

freshness, Medki8 have also split the

formula into two 10ml bottles.

Lightweight and silky in texture with an

innovative formula and delivery system,

Oxy-R Peptides will help visibly brighten,

improve clarity and work to combat all

types of hyperpigmentation concerns on

all skin tones.
