Multi-Peptide Rejuvenating Booster. Polyaquol VO4 Series
Welcome to this blog post on the transformative power of peptides and the remarkable Polyaquol VO4 series. In this article, I will guide you through a simple yet effective recipe for creating a peptide serum using the potent combination of Snap-8, SYN-AKE, SYN-COLL, and SYN®-TC. By harnessing the rejuvenating properties of these peptides and the innovative Polyaquol VO4 technology, you can unlock the secret to youthful and radiant skin.
Peptides have revolutionized the skincare industry with their ability to address various signs of aging, including fine lines, wrinkles, and loss of elasticity. Each peptide in this recipe plays a unique role in promoting skin health and vitality, working synergistically to deliver exceptional results.
In the last posts, I shared two pretty basic formulations with Polyaquol VO4.
Today, just to show you, how easy it is to convert a simple formulation into luxurious silky goodness, full of peptides and ceramides.
I must confess, I did go a little bit overboard with the actives. I have so many of these luxurious, expensive ingredients that are running out of date.
You don't have to use as many actives as I did.
1-3 good, high-quality, compatible actives are more than enough for a beautiful serum.
If you're new here and you don't know anything about Polyaquol VO4 then take a look at these posts:
Let's take a quick overview of the actives I used in the Multi-Peptide Rejuvenating Booster.
You can use this product as an undereye cream or anti-wrinkle concentrate.
I usually apply it to my forehead, under eye lines, between the eyebrows, and around my mouth.
The time it takes to see the first wrinkle improvements when using a serum with these ingredients can vary from person to person. It depends on factors such as individual skin conditions, the severity of wrinkles, overall skincare routine, and consistency of product usage.
Generally, skincare products can take several weeks to show noticeable results. It may take around 4 to 8 weeks of consistent use to see initial improvements in the appearance of wrinkles. However, it's important to note that long-term use is recommended for sustained benefits.
Additionally, everyone's skin is unique, and individual responses to skincare ingredients can vary. Some individuals may experience faster results, while others may take longer to notice visible improvements. Patience and consistency are key when using skincare products to address wrinkles.
It's worth mentioning that using a combination of targeted ingredients, like the ones I mentioned, along with a comprehensive skincare routine that includes proper cleansing, moisturizing, and sun protection, can contribute to more effective results in reducing the appearance of wrinkles.

I wanted to make a super light serum with an exceptional skin feel and the way to achieve it is
1. choose an emulsifier that has good sensory properties
2. limit the input of oils and use emollients or light, non-greasy esters with good spreading properties and fast absorption - Isoamyl laurate, Caprylyl Caprylate/Caprate
