Xeridian Skin Care

I have found a product by Xeridian Skincare called Ultra Serum. However, I have been unable to find information on this company with the exception of their website.

The Ultra Serum contains amino peptides, copper tripeptide, plus antioxidants. Also, the product contains no fillers, fragrances, or colors.

How do I determine if the company has good and tested products that actually penetrate the skin?

Any help would be appreciated.

Sincerely,

Angela

I'm so glad you enjoy our website. Thank you.

I am quite impressed by the ingredient list for Xeridian’s Ultra Serum. Their products are a very good example of a positive trend I see emerging in cosmeceuticals.

Where traditionally, cosmetic companies would put only one active ingredient in each cream or lotion, more companies like Xeridian, Fusion Beauty (LiftFusion) and Klein-Becker (StriVectin-SD) include several in each product.

They may cost a bit more per jar or tube but I’m convinced you save money (and time!) because you need fewer products.

I’m also impressed by cosmeceutical companies (like Xeridian and ProCyte) which are comfortable marketing their products directly to medical professionals who are clearly able to comprehend the scientific evidence behind the latest anti-aging ingredients.

The fact that Xeridian discloses all the ingredients for each product on its website, as well as shares information from clinical trials, also lends credibility to their products in my mind.

I emphasize “from” clinical trials because the site doesn’t reference specific trials or provide statistics. It summarizes.

So unless you are inclined to dig deeper and read medical journals and study clinical trial reports, you might still be skeptical about their claims.

I, for one, have delved deeper and do believe that Xeridian’s summaries of anti-aging clinical trials are fair and accurate.

Your question about penetration is an excellent one. One of the stickiest issues for cosmeceutical science has been developing delivery systems and molecules small enough to penetrate the skin’s surface.

Tremendous strides have been made along these lines with polypeptides and nanosphere technology.

Nanospheres employ a technology of micro encapsulation of drugs or other active ingredients. The nanospheres then act as a carrier that uses existing natural transport mechanisms to “carry” drugs across the skin without disrupting the skin's surface.

An Australian pharmaceutical company recently developed the world’s first transdermal insulin formulation. Imagine what that will mean to the millions of diabetics who survive through the use of daily insulin injections. No more needles. Rub on your insulin cream and go!

Nanosphere technology has almost unlimited potential applications for disease, as well as for anti-aging treatment.

As for Xeridian’s delivery system(s), since I couldn’t find the information (apart from the fact that they use palmitated polypeptides which do penetrate the skin’s epidermal layer) on their website, I contacted the company directly. This is what they told me.

"We utilize a number of different mechanisms in our products to ensure maximum penetration of the ingredients.

First, our serums are aqueous solutions which are the best medium for the delivery of active ingredients (better than thicker creams); second, they contain butylene glycol which is one the most effective proven penetration enhancers used in skincare products to date (and also the safest because it metabolizes into gammahydroxybutyrate, a natural substance that already resides in human cells); third, in the face serums we use a mint extract that offers a gentle cooling sensation to the skin, which is a signifier that the product has penetrated so deeply that it has reached layers that contain nerve cells (hence the cooling sensation it induces). Nerve cells are mostly contained in the dermis, the same layer as skin's collagen structures.

Lastly, while some of our ingredients are small enough in molecular size to readily penetrate the skin without any help, some other ingredients are coupled with penetration enhancers attached to their molecule structure.

For instance, the amino-peptides in our products are all attached to palmitoyl complexes that ensure maximum penetration (such as palmitoyl pentapeptides, palmitoyl tetrapeptides, palmitoyl oligopeptides, etc). The palmitoyl complex is from Palmitic Acid (extracted from palm oil) that is coupled with these different active peptides to form a compound that can penetrate very easily through the epidermis."

I hope you find this helpful. Thanks for contacting us.
