In short, no. Kinetin is a synonym for furfuryladenine, a plant-based, non-irritating potent antioxidant (ranked fifth most effective by the American Academy of Dermatology). Some suggest it also triggers other anti-aging mechanisms in the cell.
The very popular anti-aging skin care line, Kinerase, based its branding strategy on its firm belief in the effectiveness of Kinetin. Fortunately they don’t stop there. I took a close look at Kinerase C6 Peptide Intensive Treatment and was quite impressed.
The company claims its peptide technology is more advanced than that of StriVectin-SD “plus has the added benefit of vitamins C & E, green tea extract and Kinetin to achieve remarkable results!”
The peptide in question is Acetyl Hexapeptide-3, the same as is found in StriVectin-SD. Since it has the same chemical name and is found as high up in the ingredient list, I’m not sure what Kinerase can be referring to by “more advanced peptide technology”. However I do know that Acetyl Hexapeptide-3 penetrates to where new skin cells are manufactured and stimulates collagen synthesis.
