From the Research

Sh-Decapeptide-1 Sr-Pineapple Stem Bromelain (NX35™ Sculpt Technology) is a cosmetic ingredient complex that combines a synthetic peptide with bromelain enzymes from pineapple stems to provide facial contouring and sculpting effects. This technology is designed to target fat cells, inhibit lipogenesis, and provide enzymatic exfoliation and anti-inflammatory benefits, resulting in a more defined facial contour and reduced appearance of facial fat and water retention 1, 2. The bromelain component has been shown to have various therapeutic effects, including anti-edematous, anti-inflammatory, and anti-cancerous properties, as well as fibrinolytic and anti-thrombotic activities 1, 2. Key benefits of this technology include:

  • Enzymatic exfoliation and anti-inflammatory effects
  • Potential inhibition of lipogenesis and reduction of facial fat
  • Improvement in facial contour and definition
  • Anti-aging and skin rejuvenation effects Users should apply products containing this technology as directed, usually once or twice daily to clean skin, focusing on areas where facial contouring is desired 3, 4. Results are gradual and depend on consistent application over several weeks, and this technology represents a non-invasive approach to facial sculpting, with effects that are more subtle and temporary compared to surgical options 3, 4. It is essential to note that while this technology has potential benefits, the evidence is primarily based on the properties of bromelain and synthetic peptides, and more research is needed to fully understand its effects on facial contouring and sculpting 1, 2.
