"Better Than Retinol?" Skin Compound Makes Aging Skin Look 8-10 Years Younger

NEW YORK, Aug. 20, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The American Academy of Dermatology's prestigious 2013 Summer Meeting boasts some of the most well-renowned experts and breakthrough research in the world of skin care, and this year's meeting was no different. All the buzz was about SanMedica International's™ new wrinkle reducer GlyTerra™-gL. This new compound not only reduces the appearance of existing fine lines, deep wrinkles, and crow's feet while it lifts, tightens and firms saggy skin and reduces the appearance of age spots, but it also makes aging skin look 8-10 years younger by attacking glycation.

Never heard of glycation? ELLE magazine explained it in a recent article called (what else?) "Sugar and Aging: How to Fight Glycation," like this: "When you have sugar molecules in your system, they bombard the body's cells like a meteor shower — glomming onto fats and proteins in a process known as glycation. This forms Advanced Glycation End products (commonly shortened, appropriately, to AGEs), which cause protein fibers to become stiff and malformed… The proteins in skin most prone to glycation are the same ones that make a youthful complexion so plump and springy — col­lagen and elastin. When those proteins hook up with renegade sugars, they become discolored, weak, and less supple; this shows up on the skin's surface as wrinkles, sagginess, and a loss of radiance."

So what does this mean? Glycation and glycotoxins (byproducts of sugar metabolism) can make you look old and wrinkled, even if you stay out of the sun, wear sunblock when you go outside, and never, ever get within fifteen feet of a tanning bed. If that wasn't bad enough, it's not just the sugar you find in soda and candy. Grilling, frying, toasting and roasting foods all produce high levels of AGEs. So things like crusted breads, broiled chicken, grilled salmon, coffee (the beans are roasted!) are all loaded with AGEs. Even granola — a health-nut sta­ple — is an AGE double whammy, since it has lots of sugar AND it's toasted.

When should you worry about glycation-related skin damage? "When you're in your teens and twenties, you can eat almost anything and get away with it," explains San­Medica International's™ Dr. Amy Heaton, PhD. "But as you age, your body is no longer in its peak collagen- and elastin-producing years and suffers more from the visible effects of glycation damage (wrinkles and saggy skin)."

How can you fight wrinkle-causing glycation? We can't stop eating, that's for sure. So it's easy to understand why a revolutionary new, topically applied, anti-glycation compound caused such a stir at the AAD's Summer Meeting. That's where research showing this groundbreaking topical compound signifi­cantly reduced the amount of AGE content in actual human skin was presented to an elite group of the world's foremost experts in the field of dermatology. As you would ex­pect, it stole the show.

The compound is called Theraglycan™-3, and some are already calling it "The most significant breakthrough in skin care since the discovery of retinol!" Why? Because this was the first time a topically applied anti-glycation, "anti-aging" compound had been tested to reduce actual AGE content in human skin and make it appear measurably younger... 8-10 years younger, to be exact.

Even more impressive was the fact that the AGE-reducing benefits of Theraglycan-3 weren't simply based on questionable sub­jective assessments. Instead, the AGE-re­ducing effects were validated using a highly formularized equation based on measure­ments taken by an AGE-Reader (a sensitive research instrument that uses autofluores­cence to measure AGEs present in the skin). In the stud­ies, women used a Theraglycan-3 cream twice a day (a 2% "day" cream in the morning and a 4% concentrated "night" cream before bed). The results of the study documented an un­equivocal 8-10 year differential based on actual AGEs remaining on the skin's surface.

Where can you find Theraglycan-3? One of the fastest growing (and most aggressive) research-based cosmeceutical companies in the world, SanMedica International, has just secured the exclusive rights to produce a Theraglycan-3 formula under the trade name GlyTerra™-gL. This two-part system consists of a powerfully effective 2% Theraglycan-3 "Day" Cream and a highly concentrated 4% Theragly­can-3 "Night" Cream (and SanMedica is planning to release a Theraglycan-3 body cream sometime in early 2015).

And, based on the response so far, you better start looking for your supply of GlyTerra right now. The demand for this revolutionary anti-aging skin cream is going to make it very hard to find. Why? GlyTerra combines its full-strength Theraglycan-3 component with highly specialized, functional "anti-aging" isolates. So the bioactive compounds in this revolutionary formulation have been clini­cally tested to not only decrease the visible, age-related effects of "sugar damage," but also block surface glycotoxin formation to help shield the skin from future glyco-dam­age, as well as reduce the look of fine lines, deep wrinkles and crow's feet, improve the appearance of age spots, loose, droopy, flaccid skin, and — most importantly — make everyone's complexion look healthier, more radiant, and significantly younger. Not even retinol can do all that.
