Peptides
Peptides are essential building blocks that support your skin’s structure by boosting collagen production. They help improve firmness, elasticity and reduce the appearance of wrinkles. They are short chains of amino acids that make up certain proteins needed by the skin. More specifically, collagen is made of three polypeptide chains, so adding peptides can stimulate your skin to make collagen. More collagen can lead to firmer, more youthful looking skin.
What are Peptides and how do they benefit the skin?
Peptides are short chains of amino acids that help stimulate collagen production, improving skin’s firmness and elasticity while reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Can Peptides help reduce the appearance of wrinkles?
Yes, Peptides support collagen and elastin in the skin, helping to smooth out wrinkles and fine lines, resulting in a firmer, more youthful complexion over time.
Are Peptides safe for all skin types?
Peptides are generally safe and well-tolerated by all skin types, including sensitive skin. They are non-irritating and can be used daily as part of your skincare routine.
Can Peptides be used alongside other skincare ingredients?
Yes, Peptides can be used with many other ingredients, including hyaluronic acid, vitamin C, and niacinamide. However, you should avoid using exfoliating acids, such as glycolic acid, lactic acid, and other members of the alpha hydroxy acids, as well as the popular beta hydroxy acid, salicylic acid, this is due to these acids having the ability to breaking the bonds that make up the amino acid chains found in peptides.
