Highlighter Peptide Is New from Sederma

Sederma is elevating the Korean glass skin concept to crystal skin with its highlighter-like peptide, Crystalide. This IECIC-approved active ingredient promotes a clear, moisturized, translucent and luminous skin. Crystalide is inspired by the very trendy highlighter makeup as this bio-harmonical peptide exerts a holistic activity in the epidermis for a natural glowy look, according to the company.

Crystalide preserves skin transparency by inducing the chaperone protein α-crystallin while its soft-polish effect reveals a uniform glow. This unique peptide has also been demonstrated to exert an epigenetic regulation leading to a harmonious skin maturation and improvement of the skin surface quality, according to Sederma. In addition to a full range of in vitro tests, clinical studies have shown that Crystalide brings visible results in only six weeks: the skin is clear, smooth and dewy just like a piece of crystal. This water-soluble ingredient can be incorporated into facial care, makeup, sun, after-sun and self-tanning products.
