Active Ingredients Suitable and Not Suitable with TransDerm™

Based on the information provided by cosmeceutical7, TransDerm™ is suitable for active ingredients that need to work in deeper skin layers, while general moisturizers that work on the upper skin layers may not be necessary to use with TransDerm™.

Active Ingredients Suitable for Use with TransDerm™

These groups of ingredients often require delivery to deeper skin layers for maximum efficacy:

• Peptide Group: Helps reduce wrinkles and stimulate collagen production. Examples include:

  • Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 (Argireline) helps reduce muscle contractions that cause wrinkles.
  • Acetyl Octapeptide-3 (SNAP-8) has similar properties to Argireline but is more effective at reducing muscle contraction to reduce wrinkles.
  • Pep®-Adif (Acetyl hexapeptide-38) helps enhance skin volume and thickness, suitable for thinning skin due to aging.

• Anti-aging / Wrinkle Reduction Group: Helps slow down aging and rejuvenate skin condition. Examples include:

  • Pure-Bakuchiol™ (Natural Retinol) is a natural alternative that works similarly to Retinol, helping stimulate collagen and maintain skin hydration.
  • Retinol (100% Pure Powder) is Vitamin A that helps reduce wrinkles and promote skin renewal.
  • RareGinseng®-GF2 (Natural Retinol Replacement) is a ginseng extract that inhibits collagen breakdown, improves skin elasticity, and has wrinkle reduction properties.

• Whitening / Skin Tone Improvement Group: Helps reduce dark spots and dullness. Examples include:

  • Safe-B3™ (Vitamin B3, Niacinamide) helps reduce wrinkles, dark spots, and strengthens the skin barrier.
  • Activated Resorcinol™ (4-Butyl Resorcinol) helps brighten skin, reduce pigment production, and combat melasma.
  • HR-White™ (4-Hexylresorcinol) is a highly effective Tyrosinase enzyme inhibitor, helping reduce skin pigment production.

Active Ingredients Not Necessary with TransDerm™

These groups of ingredients primarily work on the upper skin layers to provide moisture or form a film:

• General Moisturizing Agents: Such as Hyaluronic Acid in various molecular sizes (Standard Molecule, Small Molecule, Large Molecule), which primarily help retain moisture and form a film on the outer skin layer. Although small molecules can penetrate somewhat, their overall main role is providing hydration on the upper skin layers.
