Anti-Aging Ingredients for Your Toner

Based on the previous discussion and your interest in adding an anti-aging ingredient suitable for your age (27) and dry skin, Pep-Coll and Matrixyl 3000 are excellent choices recommended for stimulating collagen production.

Here's a brief overview of each and how to incorporate them into your toner formulation:

• Pep-Coll (Palmitoyl tripeptide-5):

  • This peptide is designed to stimulate the skin's natural collagen production, helping to reduce the appearance of wrinkles.
  • Usage Rate: 1-5% (3% is recommended).
  • How to Add: Mix into your toner formulation in the final step, ensuring the temperature is below 40°C. It is water-soluble.

• Matrixyl 3000 (Pal-GHK, Pal-GQPR):

  • A blend of peptides that helps stimulate collagen synthesis, reduce wrinkles, moisturize the skin, and increase elasticity.
  • It is also suitable for delaying and preventing wrinkles.
  • Usage Rate: 3-5% (3% is recommended).
  • How to Add: Mix into your toner formulation in the final step, ensuring the temperature is below 40°C. It is water-soluble.

Both ingredients are water-soluble and should be added to your toner base in the final phase of mixing, once the temperature has cooled below 40°C. You can choose one or the other based on your preference, as both are well-suited for your needs and skin type.
