Perfection Peptide P3
Mibelle AG Biochemistry
 

The skin's own permanent exfoliation renders the skin smooth and soft

Desquamation is the natural exfoliation process of our skin. New keratinocytes are constantly formed in the basal layer of the epidermis. From there cells migrate and differentiate to form the outermost layer of the epidermis, the stratum corneum. At the surface, dead cells are continuously shedded – the skin remains smooth, soft and evenly toned.

In aged skin natural exfoliation process slows down

As skin ages keratinocytes stick together stronger and the desquamation process becomes slow and irregular. The skin gets dry, rough, patchy and scaly and more and more uneven and its colour turns dull and greyish.
 

PerfectionPeptide P3 rejuvenates by biomimetic peelîng

Connection of cells is realized by desmosomes. Desmocollin and desmoglein, proteins of desmosomes, bind together at specific sites. PerfectionPeptide P3 contains a tripeptide that consists of the three central amino acid residues of the binding sequence of one of these proteins. Once PerfectionPeptide P3 is applied it impairs the binding of adjacents cells. As a consequence, cells in the stratum corneum lose contact possibilities with neighbouring cells and start to peel off.
 

PerfectionPeptide P3 leads to a gentle peeling

For an optimal penetration PerfectionPeptide P3 is encapsulated into liposomes. PerfectionPeptide P3 stimulates the natural desquamation process of the skin leading to a gentle biomimetic peeling. Consequently a brighter, smoother and even toned skin complexion is created. Your skin is rejuvenated and appears younger. 
 

PerfectionPeptide P3 for smooth and even skin

A cream containing 1% PerfectionPeptide P3 was applied for 17 days. Then the skin surface was analyzed with scanning electron microscopy.

A rough skin surface is characterized by eruptive layers and a broad distance between layers as seen at the left side. The skin treated with PerfectionPeptide P3 clearly showed a smoother surface at the end of the study (figure on the right).
