What is Hyperpigmentation?
Hyperpigmentation on the skin is a key area of concern for many people. Factors such as hormones, inflammation and the sun all play a role in hyperpigmented complexions and can cause dark spots, uneven skin tone and even conditions such as melasma.
Oxy-R Peptides is Medik8’s targeted peptide solution to address the visible signs of hyperpigmentation. The simplest way to elevate your existing skincare routine.
Oxy-R Peptides
Oxyresveratrol (Oxy-R) has been found to be an incredibly effective tyrosinase inhibitor. Tyrosinase is the key enzyme within the skin that produces melanin – Oxy-R is a tyrosinase-inhibitor, working to block the overactivity of this enzyme. This means that Oxy-R is able to help block the overproduction of melanin within the skin, which can result in localised areas of uneven skin tone and dark spots.
A study by The Journal of Biological Chemistry has actually shown Oxy-R to be 33x times more effective tyrosinase-inhibitor than well known hyperpigmentation solution kojic acid.
Triple Threat to Hyperpigmentation
Boosted with brightening twin peptides, Oxy-R Peptides has a triple-action approach to targeting areas of uneven skin tone. We know how Oxy-R works; it blocks pigment-producer tyrosinase from functioning within the skin. The twin peptides work in different yet complementary ways; tetrapeptide-30 is an illuminating peptide which works to help block the overproduction of pigment that can lead to visible discolourations and uneven skin tone, while acetyl glycyl beta-alanine works to help stop localised areas of pigment from appearing on the skin. All three together promote an evenly toned, brighter looking complexion.
Suitable for all skin types and tones
Oxy-R Peptides can be used in both morning and evening routines, to really target areas of hyperpigmentation and enhance the overall brightening benefits of vitamin C and A products. Oxy-R Peptides is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skins.
Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation is particularly prevalent in darker skin tones, fitzpatricks 4-6. All fitzpatrick skin types have similar numbers of melanin-making melanocyte cells, however these cells are more active and produce more melanin in darker fitzpatricks. Oxy-R Peptides has the ability to visibly brighten the appearance of deeper skin tones, and can improve the overall appearance of hyperpigmentation across the complexion. It is suitable for all skin types and tones.
