What they are
Peptides are short chains of amino acids that serve as building blocks for proteins such as collagen and elastin. In skincare, peptides are synthetically created to mimic those naturally found in the body, ensuring stability and efficacy.
How they work in skincare
In dermatology, peptides are used in anti-ageing serums and creams to stimulate collagen production and improve skin elasticity. They are often paired with other active ingredients such as hyaluronic acid to enhance their effectiveness.
The benefits of peptides include reduced fine lines, improved skin firmness, and enhanced hydration. They support the skin’s repair process, making them ideal for mature or damaged skin. Peptides are gentle and well-tolerated, making them a popular choice for those seeking a youthful glow.
