What are peptides?

Peptides are short chains of amino acids, that occur naturally in the skin, and they can also be made synthetically. Peptides are building blocks of proteins including collagen, elastin, and fibrillin. These proteins help contribute to the texture, firmness, and elasticity in the skin.

Why are peptides good for skin?
Time and exposure to environmental factors like pollution and the sun can cause proteins in the skin to decline, leading to signs of aging like lines and wrinkles. Collagen boost skin’s strength and naturally improves plumpness and tone, while fibrillin and elastin help your skin feel stronger and firmer. Peptides in skincare help improve the look and feel of skin by helping to promote proteins like collagen, elastin and keratin.
