The 16% copper peptide oligosaccharide complex packs a punch with the highly concentrated power of different peptides and oligosaccharides derived from chicory.
The combination of copper peptide, nonapeptide-4, decapeptide-4, and oligopeptide support the process of collagen synthesis at various receptors. Type 1 collagen is the most important collagen type in the skin, providing for both firmness and skin elasticity in the extracellular matrix. Among other things, wrinkles and fine lines are a sign of a declining collagen concentration. The ultra-effective composition of four different types of peptides harness synergies to improve elasticity and skin density and reduce the loss of tissue firmness. This makes skin appear visibly firmer. Contours appear more defined, and skin looks smoother, plumper, and more even.
Derived in a laboratory, the essential copper tripeptide-1 is a signal and carrier peptide that stabilizes the skin’s natural copper and helps to support the relevant enzymes in the skin for a cosmetic face lift. Skin regeneration is improved, the skin barrier is strengthened, and the skin is guarded against free radicals and oxidative stress. Improved collagen and elastin production helps counteract stress- and age-related collagen degradation and therefore wrinkle formation.
Nonapeptide-4 is a synthetically produced peptide and stimulates the body’s natural skin repair mechanisms. The antioxidant mechanisms protect the skin against oxidative stress and promote regeneration to actively minimize wrinkles and the loss of contours and to improve skin elasticity and structure.
Decapeptide-4 is a biomimetic, encapsulated peptide consisting of asparagine and glutamic acids and a total of five amino acids (arginine, cysteine, leucine, methionine, and tyrosine). Amino acids are precursors to proteins that are essential for the skin’s natural protection and regeneration processes. By reproducing the key structures of growth factor 1 (IGF-1) and encapsulating the active ingredients in a double-layer liposome, the active ingredients can penetrate deep into the skin. The peptide can ensure firmer, more elastic skin with a high bioavailability in the skin from deep within. The antioxidant effect protects the skin from free radicals and stimulates collagen synthesis for reduced crow’s feet and other types of wrinkles.
The miniprotein is an identical, synthetic recreation of the potent slime of the cone snail, native to the Pacific region. Originating from the Asian region, the trendy active ingredient of snail slime is also praised in Hollywood for its smoothing properties. Thanks to its small molecular size, the 100% vegan omnipotent oligopeptide variant in the DOCTOR BABOR Instant Lift Effect Cream can penetrate deep into the skin and trigger a muscle-relaxing effect within just 2 hours that can last up to 24 hours. Studies also show that the effect of Botox can be extended by up to 70%. Expression lines are minimized and the skin is smoothed out.

The plant-based oligosaccharide derived from chicory is injected in a three-dimensional matrix made up of galactomannan from the tara tree so that the active ingredient can be absorbed and retained by the skin. The skin and wrinkles are visibly smoothed in the short and medium term. Boosting collagen synthesis improves the skin texture and softens wrinkles. Studies have shown that the active ingredient has a similar anti-aging effect to retinol without irritation.
