The skin is facing many kinds of stress, such as aging, mycobacterium and virus attack, UV and infrared light, and recently issued environmental stress, such as pollen, PM2.5, and PM10, including its harmful components polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and heavy metals. These environmental stressors cause cellular damage, inflammation, and pigmentation in skin cells.
Aquatide TripleShield is a peptide-based complex developed specifically for troubled or sensitive skin. It contains three active ingredients: Aquatide peptide, Silver Oxide, and Sialyllactose. These ingredients protect the skin from environmental stressors—PM10, PM2.5, heavy metals, PAHs, and pollen—and improve skin resistance and moisture barrier, enhancing antioxidants.
- Aquatide is a multi-functional peptide that acts autophagy, strengthens the skin barrier function, and reduces inflammation signals.
- Silver Oxide, a positively charged compound, prevents heavy metal ions from accumulating on the skin.
- Sialyllactose enhances an innate immune response and prevents the skin from virus and microbiome infections.
Applied to skin in small quantities, Silver Oxide prevents heavy metal ion accumulation and penetration through repulsive force. Sialyllactose prevents virus infection by blocking adhesion sites and activates innate immunity.
Aquatide - TripleShield reduces (LPS/PM2.5-mediated PGE2 secretion) pollutants-mediated inflammation and irritancy. It also reduces the radical (ROS) formation and activates ROS scavenging. Aquatide - TripleShield increases filaggrin expression in keratinocytes, increasing natural moisturizing factors (NMF) production, enhancing barrier function, and providing adequate skin hydration.
