What Are Peptides?

Peptides are short chains of amino acids, which are the building blocks of proteins like collagen and elastin. These proteins are essential for maintaining skin structure, firmness, and elasticity.

How Peptides Work in Skin Care

When applied topically, peptides act as messengers, signaling your skin cells to perform specific functions:

  • Stimulate collagen production
  • Improve skin elasticity
  • Reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
  • Strengthen the skin barrier
  • Soothe inflammation

How to Incorporate Peptides into Your Skincare Routine

  • 1. Choose the Right Product

    Look for serums, moisturizers, or targeted treatments containing peptides.

  • 2. Apply After Cleansing

    Use peptide products on clean, slightly damp skin for better absorption.

  • 3. Layer Properly

    Apply peptide products before heavier creams or oils.

  • 4. Be Consistent

    Regular use is key to seeing results with peptides.

  • 5. Combine with Other Actives

    Peptides work well with ingredients like vitamin C, niacinamide, and hyaluronic acid.
