yNs Radiance Revisted Two Years Later

yNs Radiance ($65) from yNs Medspa Cosmeceuticals has become a staple in my skin-care regimen. I wrote about it when my blog was new, so many of you don't know how much I love this anti-aging product.

I discovered yNs Radiance with a little digging. I had tried Dermapril-SP, but I didn't like that company's marketing practices. So I Googled the ingredients and found yNs Radiance. Since I started using Radiance, the company has added even more fabulous ingredients than they originally had in the "potion."

I hope yNs Medspa Cosmeceuticals will forgive me for stealing shamelessly from their Web site as I describe their clinical tests. The ingredients in Radiance are proven, and the product works.

• 10% Matrixyl 3000
• 10% SYN-COLL
• 15% Leuphasyl
• 15% Argireline

I want you to know why these ingredients work. The Radiance formula has high concentrations of proven ingredients. Matrixyl 3000 (Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-3 and Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7) works with SYN-COLL (Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5) to boost collagen. In a clinical study, two panels of 23 volunteers aged 39-74 applied a cream containing 3% Matrixyl 3000 to one half of their face against a placebo on other half, twice a day for 56 days. The results in improvement for Matrixyl 3000 deep wrinkles were 45%, wrinkle density 37%, average wrinkle depth 15%, average wrinkle volume 19%, lifting effect 17%, and improvement in skin elasticity and tone 19.5%. If 3% did that, 10% has to be even better!

To prove the anti-wrinkle effects of SYN-COLL, a study with 60 volunteers was performed for 84 days with a 2.5% formulation of SYN-COLL applied twice daily. SYN-COLL showed a visible improvement of 36% in anti-wrinkling.

Argireline (Acetyl-Hexapeptide-3) and Leuphasyl reduce the depth of fine lines and wrinkles. In clinical testing, 14 volunteers ages 39-64 applied an emulsion containing 10% twice daily. Subjects observed that the severity of wrinkles around their eyes decreased up to 17% after 15 days, and up to 32% after 28 days.

For Leuphasyl (Pentapeptide-18), three tests were performed with 5% Leuphasyl and 5% Argireline, with participants applying the cream twice daily for 28 days. After 28 days, the combination of Leuphasyl and Argireline was shown to a reduce the depth of wrinkles of 25%, with maximum values of 47%.

Radiance includes all these ingredients and more! Added to the blend is hyaluronic acid, virtually unmatched in hydrating the skin because of its ability to retain water more effectively than any other natural substance. Supplementation with hyaluronic acid provides increased smoothness, softening, elasticity, and decreased facial wrinkles.

Is that it? Nope! Shea butter, aloe barbadensis, panthenol, jojoba oil emollient, hydrolyzed milk and yeast proteins, calendula oil...the list is long...add to the ingredients that can help your skin look smooth, relaxed, and wrinkle-free (well, at least with markedly diminished wrinkling).

I use yNs Radiance as a serum under my moisturizer (I'm a double-duty moisturizing customer!). It has a fabulous feel on the skin, and it absorbs rapidly, making it ideal for use under makeup.

Check out yNs Radiance at their Web site. yNs Medspa Cosmeceuticals offers a 60-day money-back guarantee. A company has to be pretty sure of its product to do that. I know why they are!

yNs Radiance

The other day, I mentioned Radiance. Today, I will tell you a little more about it. I discovered this product with a little digging. I had tried Dermapril-SP, but I didn't like that company's marketing practices. So, I had to Google the ingredients. In doing so, I found yNs Radiance.

Hopefully, they will forgive me for stealing shamelessly from their Web site. I can't describe the product any better than they did, so read on below and see what you think. I can tell you that these ingredients are proven, and I love the product. It has the consistency of a gel cream, and a little goes a long way, meaning the 1 oz container will last for months. As I mentioned, I use it under my La Mer.

This product works! Matrixyl 3000 is used in other products, but not at the 10% concentration offered in Radiance. We should all know by now that Hyaluronic Acid is a superb product for hydrating our skin. And, if you really want to be "up on your ingredients," do a Web search on Argireline. Radiance packages all three, plus a few soothing ingredients, in one fabulous product.

The yNs company offers a 10-day trial set of three products, one of which is Radiance. The other two are a nice cleanser and a serum. Beware of the serum if your skin is sensitive to Retinol, as mine is. Regardless, it's a nice way to try Radiance before making that $70 investment.

Compare Radiance Peptide Cream versus the Competition (Charlestongirl recommended reading)

Radiance peptide cream formula combines 15% Argireline® and 10% Matrixyl® 3000 two powerful peptides with 10% hyaluronic acid to create an intense moisturizing treatment. Clinically-proven peptides Argireline® and Matrixyl® 3000 offer lipid-replacing technology and encourage cellular renewal with an innovative blend of Hyaluronic Acid, Jojoba, and Shea Butter. Shea Butter protects against the dehydrating impact of external factors, Jojoba provides a protective barrier on the skin, and Hyaluronic Acid holds water in the intercellular matrix of the skin.

Intense Skin Restoration Requires Clinically Proven Concentrations

Argireline® 15% (Acetyl-Hexapeptide) deters the degeneration of collagen and elastin, smoothes the skin and reduces the depth of lines and wrinkles. Argireline® delivers superior anti-wrinkle results. It is a combination of amino acids formulated to relax facial wrinkles, reduce the degree of existing wrinkles, and stop their future development. In clinical testing, an emulsion containing, 10% Acetyl Hexapeptide (Argireline ®) was observed that severity of wrinkles around the eyes decreased up to 17% after 15 days, and up to 27% after 30 days.

Matrixyl® 3000 10% is designed to stimulate new fibroblast molecules in the skin and increase new collagen production to strengthen the structure of skin tissue to significantly reduce the appearance of wrinkles. Clinical study in which two panels of 23 volunteers aged 39 to 74 applied a cream containing 3% Matrixyl® 3000 to one half of their face against placebo or 3% Matrixyl® on other half, twice a day for 56 days. A percentage of 3% Matrixyl® 3000 showed 37% less wrinkle density, 15% less wrinkle depth, and 18% less wrinkle volume.

Hyaluronic Acid 10% is virtually unmatched in hydrating the skin because of its ability to retain water more effectively than any other natural substance. Supplementation of Hyaluronic Acid provides increased smoothness, softening, elasticity, and decreased facial wrinkles.
