Pep up your skin

A new clinical study demonstrates the efficacy of Colorescience Pep Up Collagen Treatment





Colorescience has announced the results of a large multi-centre skincare study that assessed the efficacy and tolerability of the Pep Up Collagen Renewal Face & Neck Treatment in treating skin laxity, hydration, and ageing concerns.

Powered by peptides
Peptides are small chains of amino acids that help support skin’s natural regeneration process. Highly potent and bioavailable in the skin, they work through signalling communication to upregulate or downregulate different functions in the skin. There are four types of enzymes, employed to deliver a comprehensive approach to treat signs of skin ageing.
Signalling and carrier peptides, also called upregulating peptides, trigger fibroblast activity to stimulate collagen and elastin production and help deliver essential nutrients to the skin.
Enzyme and neurotransmitter inhibiting peptides (also called down-regulating peptides) work to reduce and prevent certain enzyme activity. This can be beneficial in balancing melanin production and muscle contractions in the skin that can lead to advanced signs of ageing.


Targeted treatment for visible results
Decaplex-10—an exclusive blend of ten potent peptides that support the production of collagen and elastin, comprises 22% of Pep Up’s formulation.
The product is further enhanced by hyaluronic acid to restore moisture in the skin and defend against the signs of ageing. Lipochroman, a powerful antioxidant blend featured in all Colorescience treatment formulations, guards against pollution and environmental aggressors. Pep Up is also infused with Physavie plant extract to soothe and calm skin, while protecting against the effects of infrared radiation.


Clinically proven performance
Pep Up was tested in a large multi-centre study, including 158 patients across 29 study centres. Participants were split in two groups:
• Protocol A—patients using only over-the-counter skincare products prior to/during study (n=81).
• Protocol B—patients who were using advanced treatment products prior to study (minimum usage 90 days) and continued concomitant usage throughout the study (n=77).
The skin concerns assessed during the study included laxity, fine lines and wrinkles, pigmentation, uneven texture, and hydration. Assessments by patients and skincare practitioners were made at baseline, week four and week eight for improvement of overall skin health and specific concerns.
74% of all participants, observed by a practitioner, showed improvement in fine lines and wrinkles after week four. Improvement in uneven texture was reported for 87% of patients after week four, while 67% demonstrated improvement of skin laxity.
85% of patients reported improved hydration after week eight. Improvement in all signs of visible ageing was reported by 84% of patients after week eight.
Improvement in overall skin health was observed after week eight for all patients regardless of skincare regimen.


Growing consumer demand
Demand for peptide-rich products shows a steady growth pattern, as modern patients become more educated about the benefits of clinical-grade skincare.
According to Google Trends, search terms for ‘peptide serum’ have increased by 50% over the last five years, with peptides being one of the most soughtafter ingredients in anti-ageing skincare.
Pep Up Collagen Renewal Face & Neck Treatment brings medical-grade peptide treatment in a lightweight, non-comedogenic formula that istolerated by all skin types.
