Matrixyl 3000™, the main active ingredient in Dermapril-SP, works by supporting the natural synthesis of the three key building blocks found in fresh, youthful skin. Mature skin often lacks a high concentration of the key elements that produce the elasticity, firmness, and smoothness (lack of wrinkle appearance) that we associate with 'young' skin. The exciting discovery behind Dermapril-SP is that people can now have younger looking skin by elevating the skin's natural levels of Collagen, Fibronectin and Hyaluronic Acid, the three naturally produced elements that contribute most significantly to keeping skin young and supple. As the body ages, the production of these three elements naturally slows.
