It is a fast absorbing lotion formulated with patented SmartPeptide™ technology, that helps build collagen while reducing the appearance of red and silver stretch marks as it smoothes skin texture.
In a clinical study of 30 subjects conducted by a leading dermatologist, 70% of participants had visible improvement in stretch marks in 14 days and over 90% saw overall improvement after twelve weeks of continued use.

key ingredients
Heptapeptide-7, a bioactive SmartPeptide™ that boosts collagen and helps support tissue. Peptides applied to the skin exert their bioactivity and are then naturally broken down by the skin’s proteases into individual amino acids. Heptapeptide-7 consists of seven naturally occurring amino acids that are commonly found in the skin. This peptide sequence is modeled on natural sequences found as part of the body’s own defend and repair system such as LL-37 (the human innate immunity system). The use of Heptapeptide-7 on the skin is similar to the body’s own short bioactive peptides present in the skin and in the same manner, Heptapeptide-7 performs its function and then is broken down into amino acids which are naturally present throughout the body.
Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea Butter), emollient moisturizer that corrects dehydration and dryness while protecting the skin’s natural moisture balance.
Limnanthes Alba (Meadowfoam) Seed Oil, emollient triglyceride composed of over 98% long chain fatty acids. Also contains naturally occurring antioxidant tocopherols. It forms a moisture barrier and helps prevent moisture loss.
