Peptides

Peptides are short chains of amino acids that act as building blocks of proteins including collagen, elastin, and keratin. These proteins work as the foundations of your skin and are responsible for its strength, texture, and resilience. When applied topically to the skin, peptides work as tiny messengers, encouraging skin cells to perform certain functions like producing collagen and elastin.

Peptides make the skin appear and act younger, which results in nourished, glowing and younger-looking skin. Look for anti-wrinkle creams and other formulas packed full of skin-loving peptides. As well as making your skin look and feel younger, peptides are also excellent for firming, soothing, and hydrating the skin.
