Pentapeptides (NickJ)

NickJ, 12 May, 2008 at 21:27 Posted on Off Topic Posts 0 11

So, a dermatology prof on the dispatches c4 programme just said "so, pentapeptides. Penta being 5, and peptide being a protein molecule. What does it do? nothing. you may as well put a piece of steak on your face" wonderful. oh, and antiwrinkle creams don't work. quelle surprise.

    I'm on dinosaurs on 4 so not watching this but not surprised. At least pentapeptides are real molecules though, unlike boswellox or pro-xylane (which if it were real should be pronounced pro zylane, not proxilane grrr)

    Even worse, a pentapeptide is just 5 amino acids linked in a chain. There are 22 essential amino acids and countless others that are non-essential. Meaning a pentapeptide could be any one of an almost infinite selection. Total and utter bullshit in other words.

    I haaaate Nadine Baggot

    based on the huge profits the cosmetic firms make, then it seems that even programmes like this don't work. If anyone's lurking, put it on, c4+1

    Me too, especially with what looked like a soft focus lense being pointed at her.
    Mind you all the women advertising this crap can't be older than 22 so how the hell do they have wrinkles at that age? the only one who conceivably might is Andi McDowell

    I'm sure the only beauty treatment she used was the surgeon's knife
