Products that contain Syn-tacks
by
Arcona Peptide Firming Complex Regenerate AM/P ($72). This product by Arcona looks as if it could pack a powerful punch. Rarely have I seen so many peptides in one bottle. In addition to Syn-Tacks, there is Syn-Coll, a tripeptide and thymulen 4, a peptide that is supposed to boost the immune defenses. There is also epidermal growth factor and, for good measure, some pea extract. Arcona goes out of its way to avoid unpleasant things such as parabens so there doesn't seem to be anything to dislike.
M Lab Anti-aging Blemish Control ($175). M Lab's products always make me feel a little dizzy. In Anti-aging Blemish Control there is an ingredients list as long as your arm (I counted over 70) and our friend Syn-tacks is in there somewhere. The question I have with M Lab is whether so many goodies can be crammed into one bottle without minimizing the concentrations to the point where they can barely be effective. The M Lab philosophy is the ingredients are synergistic and combine together to do their magic. I remain a little skeptical, but we did have a positive reader review of an M Lab product.
The other problem with there being so much stuff is that it is easy to overlook the ingredients that I'd rather not come into too much contact with: sodium benzoate (which kills off DNA and is carcinogenic if it gets mixed up with vitamin C; plus chlorphenesin and phenoxyethanol (irritants and much worse if ingested).
Canyon Ranch Age Transforming Concentrate Serum ($150). The upmarket spa that is Canyon Ranch launched its anti-aging cosmetic line a few months ago. Its signature ingredient is niacin (vitamin B) that is time-released. But I was interested to see that Transforming Concentrate focuses on Syn-tacks and ceramides. Although Canyon Ranch's formulator isn't quite is manic as the one over at M Lab, there is a bit of a everything but the kitchen sink vibe going on here too. Still, there are plenty of good botanicals in the mix.
RTOV Intensive Facial Lift Stimulator ($48). As well as Syn-tacks, RTOV has added in a handful of other peptides. One of them, trylagen, is all about collagen. It stimulates collagen synthesis and it "organizes" the collagen, by which is meant that it uniforms their diameter and spaces them
regularly to make the skin more supple. This potion also has pseudoalteromonas ferment extract. This is a strain of bacteria from the Antarctic and researchers in Barcelona say that it is exceptionally good at retaining moisture. The usual suspects in the preservative department, but otherwise this looks interesting.
Isomers Stem Genesis ($75). I must say that I am beginning to feel rather remiss for not having got better acquainted with Isomers. They make simple, intelligent products. The latest is Stem Genesis and this may be the one that I should get to know. Using a technology that was invented to cultivate apple stem cells, the ingredient called malus domestica fruit cell culture, is supposed to reduce the appearance of wrinkles in four weeks. There are a couple of vitamin Cs, tiger nut (for skin elasticity), an alga and the anti-radical tripeptide 10. Oh, and there's Syn-tacks

Societe Medical Skincare has just released a new product that not only has the Syn-tacks in it but they include the new anti wrinkle peptide Syn-ake. This is a professional line worth looking at.

I just want to share this information that is available at www.fda.gov relating to cosmetics labeling. For ingredients that are present at less than 1%, these ingredients may be listed in any order. Most companies are in error listing ingredients that are used as mixtures (which the peptides are). This is wrong -"Proprietary mixtures of ingredients identified in the ingredient dictionary by a parenthetical "(and)" are often declared on the label as shown in the dictionary section listing chemical/trade names and their respective label names." This is the correct way - "The compounds of such mixtures must be separated, the "(and)" omitted, and the components treated as individual ingredients for labeling purposes." The supplier of the mixtures must supply the concentrations of the individual components for the manufacturer of the cosmetic product to comply with this requirement. The peptides normally come as 1% solutions and the suggested use is usually between 1 and 8%. If the suppliers' suggested use level is followed, then the concentrations of the peptides can never be more than 1% and they can be listed immediately below the ingredient present at 1%. What is important to know is at what level were the clinicals for the peptide done where it showed optimum activity. This is the level where below it the peptide will show significantly lower efficacy and above it the increased efficacy does not warrant the increased cost.

The latest technology to be released this October is Coming From Radiance New York.
What I like is the Honesty in label ingredients and the percentage of the main drivers. More than Peter Thomas Roth and Paraben free. I'm told it will be significantly less than the competitors and better performance. This I like!

All of this is helpful. I found this site looking up ingredients in skincare I use and some I just started using.
I rarely find products I use on websites like this but this is helping me make better decisions. I just bought Serious Skin Care Replicate and Renew serum which has malus domestica fruit cell culture. I cannot tell what percentage, but at least it is not listed in the last five ingredients. Just received it yesterday, so don't know how I like it yet.
I do use Serious Skin Care Serum No.8 and have seen very notable results without irritation or breaking out. Particularly has worked well around eyes and mouth. I am not a chemist of any sort and don't remember the ingredient list; but, I think it is a knock-off of No.7 (can't remember who makes that!!).
I buy the SSC products from HSN. I do read the ingredient list and try to understand why I am using a particular product. This is why I appreciate the work on this website and all the posts. Please don't stop!
I am 55 and recently my grandnieces were overheard guessing ppl's ages. They guessed I was 42. I'll take it!
I can afford products bought in kits from HSN.....also gives me a chance to experiment with more variety than I otherwise could buy. I never could tolerate Neutrogena products for some reason and couldn't afford to keep trying other such products which couldn't be returned. Electronic shopping allows products to be returned and that saves me, too.
Not intending to sound like a commercial. Would love to hear what you think of the products I listed above.....no pressure, no expectations......just grateful for your site and posts.
