Cosmetic Peptides
Peptides have taken the cosmeceutical industry by storm. These cell communicating small chains of amino acids act in numerous ways to improve the signs and appearance of aging skin. The effect of peptides is accumulative. Results are seen as soon as two weeks, with best results after 12 weeks.
Some companies try to pass off ingredients like hydrolysed rice/wheat protein as “peptides” trying to take advantage of the hype around peptides in cosmetics. Do not be fooled these compounds do not have the same benefits provided by real cosmeceutical peptides. We use only the best!
There are several peptides used in our range which include:
Copper Peptide (GHK-Copper) – is one of the most studied of all cosmetic peptides and proven to support collagen thus strengthens elasticity and makes skin appear smoother, reduces fine lines and wrinkles and combats skin damages caused by UV radiation.
Matrixyl Synth 6 – (Palmitoyl Tripeptide-38)– supports integrity and structure of the skin which visibly smooths facial wrinkles. Its effect on forehead lines and crow’s feet is similar to the effect of hyaluronic acid and collagen injections. MATRIXYL® synth 6 provides a rejuvenating effect by significantly reducing wrinkle severity.
Biopeptide CL (Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1) supports collagen and thus helps smoothing the appearance of fine lines and deep wrinkles and improving the water-binding ability and elasticity of the skin. Thanks to targeted and noticeable anti-aging action it is used in numerous high-end skincare applications.
SYN®-AKE (Diaminobutyric acid benzylamide diacetate) has been developed as efficient smoothing and anti-wrinkle care particularly effective against expression lines.
Syn- COLL (Palmityl Tripeptide-5) actively supports collagen making the skin look younger.
These small peptides are small enough to penetrate through the skin and to aid absorption are attached to a fatty Palmitoly- or Acetyl- group which further improves absorption.
