Has anyone here used the ingredient Dipalmitoyl Hydroxyproline? Also known as DPHP or sometimes referred to as Sepilift or Skinlift. I tried looking it up and only found stuff from Skinactives saying it doesn't work due to something wrong with the chemistry of it, but I didn't really understand. I've read people have great benefits from this ingredient. I'm very interested in it and would like to know if anyone has any experience with it or have had any benefits from it? I've read it can stimulate type lll collagen but don't know if it's true or not. I don't really understand if this is a peptide or what, but apparently it has collagen stimulating and lifting/firming properties.
I'm also interested in Algae Extract and have heard a lot of good things about this ingredient. Anyone use Algae Extract? What are the benefits you have noticed using Algae Extract topically?
I ask and am interested because I've got my eye on Osea Advanced Protection Cream, which has both of these ingredients. So I'm just wondering if anyone uses these ingredients or knows anything about them. (Any comments about this particular cream are also welcome!  )
TIA if anyone can help |

I like algae extracts, different algae = different extracts and properties. Nice fillers.
Re: DPHP , I use the AHYP. N- acetyl derivative, readily taken up and used. Improves moisture content and all that fun stuff. |

Thank you DragoN! I didn't know there was another form of DPHP. Interesting! Do you think it really stimulates collagen?
I suppose "Algae Extract" is quite a broad description of the ingredient then if there are different forms of algae in general. I didn't think of that. Perhaps I'll try emailing the company to see what exact form of algae is used. Then I can better research it. If they'll tell me that is!  |

| Oh, I think it's Red Algae extract. Or "Gigartina Red Marine Algae". I think that form has Astaxanthin. |

Not exactly. It's more along the lines of inhibitory. But not of collagen, the breakdown thereof.
Insignificant amts have been shown to be incorporated, but it's more closely tied to the estradiol mediated mechanism, a sort of negative feedback loop.
As we age...things go south, literally and some things speed up as a result, and AHYP sort of bungs up the gears of the things that got sped up. in non scientific terms |

Thank you VeronicaM. Yes I've already read that and am incredibly familiar with Paula Begoun/Cosmetics Cop but thanks lol.
Thank you DragoN. Although I wouldn't have minded a scientific explanation if you were willing to give it!  But thank you for your reply! |

What is the estradiol mediated mechanism? Please explain. Sounds very interesting, as I firmly believe that estrogen depletion is closely tied to skin aging, more so than even the sun, imo. |

Thank you leeleedeedee. I am aware avalange uses Osea. I think skincareaddicted uses the APC as well. Not sure if skincareaddicted is still around though. I'm not sure if avalange comes here often anymore either but perhaps I will try to PM her. |

Thank you DragoN, though I was hoping for a more in depth discussion about it to be honest. (I know you're well versed regarding actives/ingredients as I've seen your posts in the fantastic actives thread ) I presume I can access those studies if I copy/paste into google? (I can't copy/paste as I'm not on a computer, that's why I'm asking lol)

Ok thanks DM. I posted a question to avalange in that dewy thread but I don't think she's been around since then. |

It works very well for me, too. I love Creme de la Mer (the original cream). Another new line using algae extract, and a line getting rave reviews, is Algenist. I'm loyal to my La Mer, but Algenist is a somewhat lower priced alternative and the Algenist samples I tried were quite amazing. |

leeleedeedee, I missed your post! Thank you! Have you noticed any sorts of benefits in particular with the la mer? Same goes to EthelM also Anything you can attribute to the algae I mean? (I think the la mer is just like a basic cream and the algae is the star ingredient right?)
I haven't heard of Algenist, thank you EthelM. I'll look that up. |

Yes, Creme de la Mer eradicates fine surface facial lines for me. I haven't any on my face, even when I'm not wearing Creme de la Mer. It also very effectively plumps my skin, making it appear more youthful. While I realize that is the goal of all moisturizers, it has not been my experience with most mositurizers, at least not to the marked effect of Creme de la Mer. As well, when my skin is red, irritated or broken out, the CdlM heals my skin remarkably fast, unlike other moisturizers. I attribute the quick healing to the algae. That said, I don't use any of the other La Mer products, just the original creme.
Because Algenist has a similar effect on my skin (although I can't speak for fine surface lines, just the healing and plumping), my suspicion is these benefits come from the algae and other sea-based ingredients, like seaweed, etc.
(Also, to add, I don't think Creme de la Mer is *just* basic cream with added algae products. CdlM also has many other beneficial ingredients aside from seaweed and algae, and I think CdlM works well because of the interaction between all the ingredients...but yes, the sea-based additives are certainly the major part of CdlM.) |

| Thank you so much EthelM! I really have no idea what the effects of algae are so that really helps! Very interesting about the healing and plumping. |

Celebrities seem to love La Mer. I heard that Jennifer Lopez uses it all over her body, and I heard that Uma Thurman put it over her belly when she was pregnant.
Paula Begoun, however, isn't crazy about La Mer. She gave it a mediocre rating on her website. |

| Yes not surprising is it lol. However, Paula B. probably hasn't used algae herself. (Regardless of la mer.) As for celebrities, Dita Von Teese uses la mer. |

Oh it IS the first ingredient. I wonder what they mean by seaweed algae extract though. And urgh...lots of photosensitizers and irritants.  And alcohol and fragrance. |

The Zinc gluconate in the mix is noted for that as well as several of the other salts. Certainly the algae doesn't hurt as itself is packed with micro nutrients and trace elements. |
