Teprenone, Telomeres and More

[This report started Wednesday.]

The study presented evidence that topical Teprenone:

A. Prevents/inhibits free radical damage by:
1. Stimulating synthesis of Thioredoxin which inhibits free radical damage;
2. Protecting delicate catalase enzymes which detoxify free radicals; and
3. Enhancing the stress resistance of cells exposed to UV rays by suppressing the induction of heat stress proteins.

B. Prevents/inhibits release of pro-inflammatory cytokines.

C. Protects skin cells’ telomeres during cell mitosis, thereby extending cell life and preserving DNA and RNA integrity.

D. Stimulates skin cell growth and differentiation.

E. Facilitates cell communication.

The study involved 24 women over the age of 45 with healthy skin but with wrinkles who had not used an anti-aging skin care product for at least one month. The women applied a Teprenone day cream twice a day for six months. Skin measurements were taken at study inception, 3 months and 6 months.

• Mean skin hydration improved 30% (maximum improvement was 83%).
• Trans-epidermal water loss decreased an average of 18% (maximum 56%).
• Firmness was measured by the amount of deformation remaining after application of suction. Average deformation was reduced 12%.
• Elasticity improved an average of 11% (maximum 35%).
• Overall skin tone improved 15% (maximum 45%).
• Skin roughness measured on the forearm was reduced an average 11% (maximum 26%) .
• Thinner, more exposed neckline skin roughness was reduced 14% (maximum 36%).
• Forearm wrinkling was reduced an average 31% (maximum 103%).
• Neckline wrinkling was reduced and average of 28% (maximum 109%).
• Dilated pores were reduced by an average 26% (maximum 37%).
