derma e Peptide PlusIf you’re a bit more flexible and will consider anti-aging peptide ingredients, here are two choices that are packed with lots of natural (and organic) ingredients which are also paraben free.

MyChelle NoTox Anti-Wrinkle Serum contains (again in order of concentration) Acetyl Tetrapetide-2, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5, Palmitoyl Tripeptide Diamino-butyloylhydroxythreonine, Palmitoyl Dipeptide Diamino-hydroxybutyrate and Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF).

Derma e Peptide Plus Wrinkle Reverse Crème contains Acetyl Hexapeptide-3 (Argireline®) and Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4 (Matrixyl™), along with an excellent antioxidant cocktail of Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E), Ascorbyl Palmitate (C-Ester), Retinyl Palmitate (Vitamin A), Pinus Pinaster (Pycnogenol®) Bark Extract and Organic Camellia Sinensis (Green Tea) Leaf Extract.
