What is it about AminoAcids that no other skin care ingredient can duplicate?
Hydrate: The First Step Toward More Healthy, Vibrant and Youthful Skin
The word hydration is probably the most often used word when speaking about skin care. While most experts agree that keeping the skin well hydrated is of paramount importance, exactly how to achieve proper hydration is not well understood even by the most seasoned skin care professionals.
The outer layer of the skin is called the stratum corneum. Until recently, this outer surface has been thought of as nothing more than a layer of dead surface skin cells. As a result, many skin care companies treat it as such. In reality, the surface of the skin is a very important bio-sensor. The stratum corneum is designed to protect us from the environment and attack from the bacteria world. It also controls the storage and balance of water within it's tissues. On a cosmetic level it is what the world sees. The condition of your stratum corneum is what gives your age away.
Typical skin care moisturizers work by covering or sealing the skin to help prevent moisture loss. While these types of products may give the skin a temporary, nicer appearance, they do nothing to directly hydrate the skin. However, these oily products can clog pores, block the release of toxins and prevent the skin from breathing. In some, these cover and seal products may actually contribute to the aging process.The first part of the AminoGenesis formula is the ability to hydrate by directly moisturizing the skin. In order to achieve direct hydration these criteria must be met.
• All ingredients used must be capable of penetrating the stratum corneum, the protective barrier of the skin.
• The emulsion to be transported must be of correct molecular size and weight to dissipate into the skin.
• Electro-static properties must be correct
Beautiful, radiant and youthful looking skin starts with maximum hydration.

*Supply Your Skin With What It Craves Most
*Amino acids are the basis for all living tissue on Earth. The skin is a living, breathing organ and needs an abundant supply of amino acids to function properly. These "natural miracles" are the very building blocks needed for the creation of important skin proteins like collagen and elastin. Without amino acids the skin simply cannot function properly.
*The 17 selected amino acids in AminoGenesis are essential to healthy skin. These are exactly the same amino acids found in collagen and elastin. Each amino acid in AminoGenesis is made from plant sources and is painstakingly purified. These amino acids are then carefully blended to match the optimum amino acid composition in collagen. By utilizing the unique delivery system in AminoGenesis, the skin now has available the amino acids necessary to beautify and repair itself on a daily basis. No other skin care formulation can approach this level of perfection!
*Amino acids are the main moisture retention factors in human skin. Topical application of amino acids has shown to dramatically increase moisture content while decreasing visible lines. In addition, amino acids help in the production of collagen and elastin, regulate sebaceous gland activity and decrease discoloration.
*There are lots of skin care products in the world. One could argue, pro or con, on the merits of different ingredients. However, no one can doubt the importance of amino acids to the health and beauty of your skin. Period. With that in mind...
*Why would'nt you have amino acids in your skin care products?
*********************
*Protect Your Skin From Bacterial
*And Free Radical Attack
*Bacterial Defense: We are under constant attack by the bacterial world and our only protection is the surface barrier of the skin known as the stratum corneum. However, when this structure is depleted or dehydrated, bacteria can get a foothold. The mere act of washing the skin with water creates micro tears in the surface. These micro tears then provide a safe harbor for opportunistic bacteria to gain a foothold, propagate and potentially interfere with the function of the skin. AminoGenesis creators believe that bacterial attack plays a role in both the dysfunction and the aging of the skin.
*Laboratory tests were performed on dozens of moisturizers. They were exposed to the common bacteria listed. Graph 1 reveals the failure of typical moisturizers to inhibit bacterial growth. At the 36 hour mark bacterial colonies were growing at levels too high to count.
*The AminoGenesis base formula was exposed to the same bacteria. After 24 hours no bacterial colonies remain as shown in Graph 2.
*This special defense system ensures the highest level of germ free delivery of AminoGenesis to your skin and helps your skin defend against attack from the bacterial world.
*Free Radical Defense: Free radicals are unbalanced molecules caused by the sun, environment and pollution. These unbalanced molecules randomly bounce around inside skin cells and cause damage to important cellular tissues including DNA structures. Amino acids are natural free radical scavenges that seek and neutralize free radicals to help prevent the damage done by them.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: When was AminoGenesis first created and used?
A: The basic formula in AG (AminoGenesis) was created over 10 years ago by a world-class team of scientists and doctors.
Q: What were its initial intended purposes?
A: It was created to be the most powerful moisturizing/ nourishing agent ever. However, due to its amazing ability to help problem skin it has had extensive
use in the health care industry.
Q: What makes AG so much different than any other skin care products?
A: First of all, it's important to understand how a typical moisturizer works. Generally, all so called moisturizers work by simply covering the skin with a thin film of something IE: oils waxes or petroleum products in an attempt to hold in moisture. Hence they really do not moisturize the skin at all, but simply attempt to prevent moisture loss.
AminoGenesis is vastly different for three main reasons. First our water-based delivery system is capable of very quick and deep penetration. Next, AG is totally based on amino acid technology. Amino acids are the very building blocks of all living things on Earth. Amino acids are essential for healthy vibrant skin. Lastly, the hospital approved defense system allows the highest level of germ free delivery of any product available.
Q: Although AminoGenesis works on problem skin will it help my normal skin look more youthful?
A: While it's true AminoGenesis has shown miraculous results in helping skin problems and injuries, it was originally designed to be the most effective cosmetic product ever created. If you have relatively healthy skin, AminoGenesis can improve your skin and keep it that way for many years to come!
Q: Is AminoGenesis suitable for all skin types?
A: Whether your skin is dry, oily or a combination of both, this formula works wonders on all skin types.
Q: How long will it take before I will see results using AminoGenesis?
A: Sometimes impressive results occur within the first few days of use. However, keep in mind that AminoGenesis works by helping the skin rejuvenate itself at the cellular level. These new skin cells may take weeks to appear on the surface of the skin. While fast results are common, the most impressive and lasting changes occur over time with continued use.
Q: What makes the AG delivery system so special?
A: In order for any delivery system to be effective, it has to be able to penetrate the skin. Most skin care products do nothing more than ride on the surface. The highly developed delivery system in AG allows for quick, almost instant penetration.
Q: How does it penetrate?
A: Firstly, AG has a controlled viscosity, which becomes less and less viscous as shear force is applied. Secondly, the electro static properties are correct and compatible with the skin's natural electro static charge. Thirdly, AG temporarily reduces skin surface tension to allow penetration. Lastly, the molecules in the entire p roduct are small enough in size and weight to allow penetration.
Q: Why is it important that the product penetrate the skin at all?
A: This is how moisture and nutrients crucial to proper skin health are delivered under the stratum corneum (the protective barrier of the skin) for use in daily maintenance and renewal.
Q: What about products that already have collagen in them?
A: Many products do have collagen in them. Collagen is a very complex protein too large to penetrate the skin and be of any real use. Many collagen products are from bovine (cattle) sources. We do not recommend them!
Q: What are some of the functions amino acids perform?
A: The functions that amino acids are involved with are too many to list. It's simply easier to say there is nothing that takes place in your body that does not involve them! That's why they are so important.
Q: Where do the amino acids come from?
A: We derive the amino acids in our products from plant sources because it gives us a pure version of the desired amino acid. Therefore there are no animal products used to acquire our amino acids nor has there ever been any animal testing to perfect our products.
Q: Are amino acids similar to alpha hydroxy or glycolic acids?
A: No, not at all! Amino acids are the basic compounds for every component, of every plant or animal on Earth. Amino acids are the organic miracles that enable life to exist. Alpha hydroxy and glycolic acids are derived from fruits, and are designed to dissolve the chemical bonds on your skin. They are a harsh and damaging way to accomplish exfoliation. They also make the skin sensitive to the sun. Its an outdated and dangerous way to treat the delicate surface layers of your skin!
Q: What are the cosmetic/appearance benefits I can expect by using AG?
A: It has been medically proven that the loss of important proteins manufactured in the skin contributes to the aging process. By nourishing the skin with the necessary amino acid building blocks, the skin can do a much better job of its own maintenance. Hence, everything from wrinkles and discoloration to more severe problems like dermatitis, eczema, psoriasis, rosacea etc. can dramatically improve in appearance.
Q: Is there sunscreen in AminoGenesis Products?
A: No. Sunscreen is an important part of taking care of your skin. However, AminoGenesis products are designed to hydrate and nourish your skin. Therefore, you may apply the sunscreen of your choice over AminoGenesis products as needed. |
