CIRCADIAN RYTHMS & THE SKIN
The human body is governed by the Circadian Clock Genes that regulate everything from digestion, body temperature, pH and your body’s ability to protect and repair. The skin is the largest organ of the body and has direct exposure to UV radiation and environmental toxins, the skin has the ability to program its own circadian rhythms. Skincare professionals should be aware of the time of the day when they make an assessment of the skin or prescribe a specific treatment.
These are just a few products we use in each luxury facial
treatment.
Botanicals are categorized as plant extracts derived from flowers, herbs, nuts and berries. These gifts of Mother Nature are used for their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory
and skin health benefits. Circadia sources botanicals from around the word and is dedicated to using ECO-Cert Organic Botanicals that are globally recognized for

Lets take a look behind the formulary curtain, when a lab creates plant derived stem cells they first have to wound the plant, this creates totipotent stem cells. Once the stem cells are transferred to a culture they start to produce secondary metabolites in order to protect themselves during rapid cell division. It is the secondary metabolites that have amazing antioxidant and immune support as well as detoxification and fibroblast stimulation.
Grape Stem Cell Extract

– Rich in phenylpropanoids (i.e. forsythoside B and verbacoside) which are defensive molecules that protect the skin against oxidants and activate the skin’s self-defense
systems.
All matter begins with electrons and protons, the building components of the elements. Proteins start with amino acids.
There are 20 essential ones, and a few others, that make up life’s proteins. When two amino acids are combined, a new chemical called a peptide is formed. Circadia uses four different families of peptides to enhance skin health.
Preventhilia™ (Diaminopropionoyl Tripeptide-33)
– Tetrapeptide that prevents the damage caused directly or indirectly by UV radiation to DNA and proteins, thus preventing photo-aging AGING/REPAIR
Matrixyl™
(Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4)
– Helps stimulate collagen synthesis and elastin. The action is very similar to retinol without the irritation.
Matrixyl™
3000 (Palmitoyl Oligopeptide and Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7)
– Helps repair damaged tissues Matrixyl™Synthe 6 (Palmitoyl Tripeptide-38)
– Evens out skin, relieves and smoothes wrinkles by stimulating constituents of skin matrix and dermal-epidermal junction (i.e. collagen I, II, IV,fibronectin, hyaluronic acid, and laminin 5)
Eyeliss™
(Hesperidin Methyl Chalcone and Dipeptide-2 and Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7)
– Hesperidin methyl chalcone is a bioflavonoid that helps to decrease capillary permeability thus reducing fluid deposition and puffiness. Dipeptide Valyl-Tryptophane improves lymphatic circulation to promote drainage of under-eye fluid. Lipopeptide Pal-GQPR improves firmness and elasticity.
Haloxyl®
(Palmitoyl Oligopeptide and Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7)
– Two peptides work in conjunction to improve firmness and tone of the eye area. Chrysin and N-hydroxysuccinimide stimulate the clearance of deposited blood
pigments and solubilize iron for elimination respectively, resulting in the reduction of dark circles Argireline® (Acetyl Hexapeptide-8)
– A peptide alternative to botox that attenuates muscle contraction preventing the formation of fine lines and wrinkles
(Acetyl Octapeptide-3)
– Reduces depth of wrinkles caused by contraction of muscles of facial expression Inyline®(Acetyl Hexapeptide-30)

Thymulen® 4 (Acetyl Tetrapeptide-2)
– Biomimetic of thymopoietin; boosts skin regeneration and reinforces cutaneous immune defences Chronocyclin® (Glutamylamidoethyl Imidazole)
– Anti-aging, enhances expression of circadian genes, optimizes cell defences and renewal activities, and Vitamin D transformation
L-Carnosine
– Di-peptide that has anti-glycation properties
Ronacare® Cyclopeptide-5
– A novel cyclopeptide binds integrins and increases signalling for extracellular matrix production and crosstalk between skin cells. This results in increased tensil and compressive strength, elasticity, and firmness for the skin. Additionally, wrinkles are reduced and the skin is smoothed and crosstalk between skin cells. This results in increased tensil and compressive strength, elasticity, and firmness for the skin. Additionally, wrinkles are reduced and the skin is smoothed.
Diffuporine™
(Acetyl Hexapeptide-37)
– Boosts Aquaporin-3 which promotes inner hydration mechanisms and water movement from the basal layer of epidermis and to the stratum corneum, rejuvenating the skin by improving barrier function, collagen I synthesis and cellular proliferation
Telangyn™
(AcetylTripeptide-33)
– Decreases facial redness and other skin disorders caused by the release of interleukins, reducing redness, dilated blood vessels, tissue degradation and post-inflammatory
Delisens™
(Acetyl Hexapeptide-46)
– Down regulates PAR-2 thus reducing discomfort of pain and itching occurring in sensitive
skin and restoring damaged barrier integrity, also increasing hydration, improves scaling, smoothing and softness in very dry skin
Thermostressine™

– Activates lipolysis and microcirculation
Silusyne™
(Acetyl Hexapeptide-39)
– Reduces adipogenesis (new fat) by decreasing PGC-1α activity
L-Alanine
– Skin conditioning agent and an essential amino acid in the conversion of proteins into energy, through the glucose metabolic pathway.
L-Glycine
– Building block of collagen formation and the most plentiful amino acid in the body. While not an essential amino acid, since the body is able to synthesize it, it is a critical component in the synthesis of purines, an essential component of DNA.
L-Lysine
– Heals while it soothes inflamed areas.
L-Lysine is a necessary amino acid for all protein sin the body. L-Lysine is critical for calcium absorption, as a muscle protein, essential in recovering from surgery, and in the body’s production of hormones, enzymes, and antibodies.
L-Proline
– Essential amino acid that is required to make collagen fibers. It is the precursor of hydroxy proline and essential component of collagen cross-linking. It aids in wound healing, and in maintaining a youthful appearance of skin.
L-Threonine
– Anti-oxidant stabilizer and an essential amino acid in building proteins. Threonine can be converted to pyruvate and use in the Krebs cycle, but it’s more common role is in building proteins and acting as a antioxidant stabilizer. The body cannot synthesize it is essential amino acid.
L-Valine
– Reduces inflammation, but is an essential amino acid for building proteins. It is one of the three branched chain amino acids and is hydrophobic. It is widely used by muscle builders to increase muscle mass.
