Oxy-R Peptides harnesses the powers of the gold standard brightening agent, oxyresveratrol, in a unique 1% concentration. A gentle yet potent antioxidant, Oxy-R is used in skincare to treat areas of hyperpigmentation, dark spots, and post-inflammatory pigmentation. Proven to be 33 times more effective than kojic acid[1], it works by helping to block the enzyme tyrosinase, the key enzyme responsible for pigment formation in the skin. Although exceptionally potent, Oxy-R is an incredibly unstable ingredient. With another unique stability innovation, Medik8 has carefully crafted a patented system to unlock the unique benefits of high-potency, stabilized oxyresveratrol. Keeping 1% Oxy-R stored in a preservative serum cap to protect its potency, Oxy-R Peptides uses Click-Activated packaging technology to ensure the formula remains stable from activation to the last drop. Oxy-R Peptides offers a triple threat against hyperpigmentation, with two brightening peptides working alongside Oxy-R to improve visible skin tone. Tetrapeptide 30 helps block the overproduction of pigment that can lead to visible discolorations and uneven skin tone, while acetylglycine beta-alanine helps stop the appearance of localized areas of pigment in the skin.
