At Agelyss, we are dedicated to delivering skincare products that harness the power of cutting-edge ingredients to promote healthier and more youthful skin.  With each product that we sell, we want you to know what’s in it and how it will work for your skin. While we try to keep things simple on the product pages, this blog post is for those who want a deeper understanding of our spotlight ingredients. Today, we’re putting the spotlight on Trylagen PCB – an ingredient we love so much it’s in 8 of our products! Are you ready to discover what makes this ingredient a must have in so many of our formula? Let’s dive in!

First, What is Trylagen® PCB?

Trylagen PCB is a specialized blend of active peptides and proteins that help support and restore collagen levels in the skin. Collagen is a key protein that keeps skin firm, smooth, and elastic. However, as we age, the natural production of collagen slows down. This decline can lead to visible signs of aging, such as fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging skin. Trylagen® PCB takes a multifaceted approach to address collagen-related skin concerns. Its activity can be divided into three key functions:

  1. Boosts Collagen Synthesis: Trylagen PCB stimulates the production of Collagen types I, III, and IV. These collagen types are crucial for skin firmness and elasticity.
  2. Improves Collagen Structure for Smoother Skin: As skin ages, the tiny collagen fibers can become uneven and disorganized, which weakens the skin’s support system. Trylagen PCB helps keep these fibers uniform in size and evenly spaced. This strengthens the collagen network, helping the skin stay firm, smooth, and more flexible.
  3. Protects Collagen From Breaking Down: As skin ages, certain enzymes become more active and start breaking down collagen faster than the body can replace it. Trylagen PCB helps block these enzymes, especially MMP-2 and MMP-3, to protect your collagen and keep your skin stronger for longer.

Clinical Studies and Efficacy

Trylagen® PCB has been subject to rigorous clinical testing, revealing impressive results (*):

  • In a clinical trial involving 20 female participants between the ages of 35 to 55, a cream containing 5% Trylagen PCB was applied to one side of the face (around the eye) twice daily for 30 days. The results showed a significant decrease in wrinkle depth, with a 29% reduction after 30 days.
  • One of the active ingredients in Trylagen PCB demonstrated its ability to increase Collagen Type I synthesis by 128% after 15 days of use, contributing to improved skin firmness and structural integrity.
  • In vitro, Trylagen PCB boosted Collagen Type IV by 81% in 15 days, helping to keep the skin’s foundation strong and supported.
  • Additionally, at its highest dose, it tripled Collagen Type III levels – the type that gives skin its youthful look and bounce.

How To Get The Most Out Of Trylagen® PCB

Trylagen PCB is a standout ingredient for supporting healthy, youthful-looking skin. At Agelyss, we maximize its anti-aging power by combining it with four other patented, clinically studied ingredients in every formula it’s used in. For example, our Anti-Aging Cream combines Trylagen PCB with skin-firming Pepha®-Tight, smoothing Argireline® NP, wrinkle-reducing Gatuline® Expression, and skin-nourishing PhytoCellTec™ Alp Rose. Whether you’re targeting fine lines around the eyes, firming your neck, smoothing your face, or restoring lip contour, Trylagen PCB delivers visible results. You’ll find this collagen-boosting ingredient in our Anti-Aging Cream, Face Moisturizer, Eye Wrinkle Remover, Neck Firming Cream, and more.
