Peptides

Peptides are short chains of amino acids, which are the building blocks of proteins. These peptides play a very important role in skincare formulations. They have been known to penetrate skin and stimulate various biological activities such as collagen production and skin regeneration. They generally improve skin elasticity, reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and generally improve skin texture. Peptides help improve the skin barrier in their small molecular size, which allows the skin to better absorb active ingredients deeper into the skin, which explains their great popularity among anti-aging and hydrating products.
