SkinCeuticals P-TIOX Anti-Wrinkle Peptide Serum (1 fl. oz.)

P-TIOX is a peptide-powered serum clinically proven to reduce the appearance of 9 types of expression lines and reveal glass skin radiance. Inspired by the effects of neurotoxin injections, P-TIOX features a patent-pending blend of advanced peptides amplified by synergistic actives (PHA, Niacinamide, and Laminaria Extract) to visibly reduce wrinkles, improve skin texture and radiance, and complement the results of professional injectables.

P-TIOX is physician-tested to complement neurotoxin injections and is effective on its own to achieve needle-free wrinkle correction without the aid of professional injectables.

What is a Neurotoxin:

Muscular tissue facilitates movement, whether voluntary or involuntary. There are over two dozen facial muscles, which contract to produce expressions such as smiles, frowns, and brow movement. As we age, important structural proteins like collagen and elastin degrade and become less pliable. Over time, the combination of muscle movement and changes in the structure and integrity of the skin can lead to fine and deep expression lines. Neurotoxin injections are a popular in-office treatment used to treat expression wrinkles caused by muscle contractions. When injected, neurotoxins work by temporarily blocking the signals between muscles and nerves to limit contractions, soften expression lines, and prevent the formation of new wrinkles. Results from this treatment are typically seen two weeks post treatment and last around three months.

While neurotoxin injections are the industry standard for reducing expression lines, some areas of the face are difficult to inject.

When paired together, P-TIOX and neurotoxin injections work synergistically to help reduce the appearance of wrinkles, targeting areas of the face that neurotoxins alone don't treat, and delivering fast, long-lasting results.

SEE OUR PROTOCOL:

A 12-week, single center clinical study was conducted on 82 females with Fitzpatrick type I-VI, (52% of subjects with sensitive skin), ages 34-65 and mild to moderate wrinkles, fine lines, pore appearance, rough skin texture evaluated by dermatologist. Efficacy evaluations were conducted at baseline, week 1, week 2, week 4, week 8 and week 12.
