Balance Me taps tripeptides to plump menopausal skin

Skincare label, Balance Me, has declared a "skin revival" with its newest Tripeptide Plumping Cloud Cream, which promises to revitalise aging skin with a youthful bounce and glow – thanks to a potent blend of tripeptides, ceramides and hyaluronic acid.

Sisters and Co-founders Clare and Rebecca Hopkins launched Balance Me in 2005 after seeing the toll of long-term stresses and 21st-century fast-paced living had taken on their health and skin. With the aim to balance both the skin and mind, as well as doing good for the environment, Balance Me was born.

When it comes to ageing, hormonal changes deeply impact the skin. With a mission to tackle the appearance of wrinkles and first-hand skin concerns, the Hopkins sisters created the Cloud Cream with bio-actives to help boost collagen and restore the radiance of ageing skin.

The cream helps to counterbalance a depletion in oestrogen levels. The star of the show, and what makes this product differ from Balance Me's existing line-up, is MatrixylTM Synthe’6. The ingredient is a 99.8% natural-origin Tripeptide that works to refine wrinkles. It works with the natural structure of the skin’s matrix to produce a visible smoothing and lifting effect.

Despite being designed to revitalise the skin during sleep, the product can also double as a daily moisturiser for those wanting an extra boost.

The cream was tested on a Panel of 80 women aged 25-65 (including women in menopause) for 14 and 30 days. 96% said skin felt more hydrated, 94% said skin looked more radiant, 95% noticed skin felt plump and 93% said skin felt smoother.

The Tripeptide Cloud Cream, which launched online today, retails for £45.
