Palmitoyl Tripeptide-38
The peptide behind the manufacturer-highlighted MATRIXYL synthe'6® technology.
YOUTH LAB. describes it as a patented matrikine-like tripeptide used to support visible wrinkle filling, skin density and volume.
For Chris & Alley, I would describe this more conservatively as helping support the skin's structural matrix and improving the appearance of wrinkles, density and plumpness rather than saying that it literally “fills wrinkles from within”.
Trifluoroacetyl Tripeptide-2
A biomimetic peptide associated with the brand's Elafin peptide story.
YOUTH LAB. positions this peptide around visible firmness, elasticity and the facial oval.
Its role is particularly relevant where ageing presents as loss of resilience and contour definition, rather than lines alone.
Peucedanum Graveolens Extract
A botanical extract used by YOUTH LAB. as an Elastin Booster.
The brand highlights it for supporting elasticity and firmness, with the aim of improving the appearance of facial contour.
This should be understood as cosmetic support for firmer-looking skin — not permanent lifting or structural repositioning of facial tissue.
Alpinia Galanga Leaf Extract
A patented Galanga Leaf Extract highlighted by YOUTH LAB. for its ability to support the skin's own Hyaluronic Acid-related processes.
The brand describes this as contributing to “3D remodelling” and improved visible youthfulness.
For Chris & Alley, I would translate that into improved hydration, plumpness and smoother-looking skin.
Hyaluronic Acid
The current INCI lists Sodium Hyaluronate.
YOUTH LAB. describes its hydration technology as a Hyaluronic Acid complex of different molecular weightsdesigned to provide intensive hydration and visible plumping.
Because the ingredient declaration itself only lists Sodium Hyaluronate, I would retain the brand's multi-molecular-weight claim but not invent individual molecular sizes.
Biosaccharide Gum-4
A high-molecular-weight polysaccharide used as part of the formula's environmental protection strategy.
YOUTH LAB. links this technology to its urban pollution and UV-stress defence story.
It provides a film-forming, conditioning effect at the skin surface.
Shea Butter
Butyrospermum Parkii Butter provides richer emollient support, helping soften mature or dry skin and reduce moisture loss.
Squalene
The current official YOUTH LAB. INCI specifically lists Squalene, not Squalane.
Squalene is a lipid naturally associated with skin sebum and provides conditioning and emollient benefits within this richer cream.
Glycerin
A humectant positioned very high in the formula, helping attract water into the outer skin layers and support hydration and visible plumpness.

Apply morning and evening to clean, dry skin.
Smooth a thin, even layer over the:
Face
Neck
Décolleté
Avoid the eye area.
It may also be used as a richer night cream. YOUTH LAB. currently recommends daily day-and-night application.
