I recently discovered Janson Beckett Alpha Derma CE antiaging cream which has vitamin c, collagen and elastin .... and I really think these ingredients are making a big difference on the look and firmness of my skin.
Hi lyvelana!
I'm glad you are liking your skin, but I don't think it's from any magical collagen and elastin potion in that JB ADCE cream. The collagen and elastin molecules are just too big to penetrate the dermis! They probably are good moisturizers though, so that much it is doing for you....but such a high pricetag for something that is only a moisturizer!
Here are the ingredients:
Demineralized Spring Water, Acetyl Hexapeptide 3(ARGIRELINE), Octyl Methoxycinnamate, Glycerine, Olive Oil, Oxybenzone, Soybean Oil, Stearic Acid, Hydrolyzed Soy Protein, Soluble Collagen, Hydrolyzed Elastin, Alpha Lipoic Acid, Ascorbyl Palmitate (Vitamin C Ester), DMAE Bitartrate, Aloe Vera Extract, Glyceryl Stearate, Allantoin, Citric Acid, Microcrystalline Cellulose, Cetyl Alcohol, Simethicone, Methylparaben, Propylparaben, Cetearyl Alcohol, Ceteareth--20, Tea Carbomer 940.
The DMAE, alpha lipoic acid and soy protein are probably what you see as doing something for your skin. But it's only temporary. In addition, the ARGIRELINE can actually CAUSE facial sag:
Acetyl hexapeptide-3 (Argireline): an alternative to Botox or wishful thinking in a jar?
