Roth Wrinkle Preventer Contains the Very Exciting Tripeptide-1 to Reverse Skin Aging

Peter Thomas Roth's latest product launch, Roth Wrinkle Preventer, is really causing a stir in anti-aging circles.

The buzz is over its inclusion of the very exciting newly-developed Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 (PTri-1).

Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1

In vitro tests of PTri-1 using reconstituted human skin, yielded increases in collagen I and collagen IV synthesis of 128 and 81% respectively after just 15 days. Collagen III synthesis (the most abundant type of collagen in young skin) tripled!

Tissue sectioning of the treated skin tissue examined under an electron microscope revealed that the collagen fibers were significantly more uniform and better organized, as they would be in young skin. This effect results in fuller more supple skin.

In addition, in vitro studies showed that PTri-1 even inhibits the body's anticollagenase activity. Anti-collagenase enzymes are one of the factors that cause collagen degradation as we age. Anti-collagenase MMP-2 and MMP-3 were inhibited 74 and 57% respectively.

In vivo, twice daily application of PTri-1 by 20 female volunteers aged 35 to 55 for 30 days resulted in a 29% decrease in wrinkle depth as measured by 3D optical equipment.

P. T. Roth Wrinkle Preventer contains the Aldenine brand of PTri-1 which is composed of PTri-1, soy and wheat proteins.

P. T. Roth Wrinkle Preventer's Other Great Ingredients

Hydrolyzed Rice Protein boosts PTri-1's anti-collagenase activity helping to prevent future collagen degradation.

Desert Watermelon Fruit Extract protects against UV and other free radical damage. I find this discovery very interesting. It makes sense that something which thrives in the desert sun would have evolved very effective UV protection.

A compound of various Soy Proteins neutralizes free radicals and renders them harmless so they can't damage the skin and acts as a protective shield to combat accelerated skin aging. Other antioxidants included are Vitamins A, C and E.

I would buy this cream for the Tripeptide-1 alone.
