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.
SYN®-AKE (Diaminobutyric acid benzylamide diacetate) has been developed as efficient smoothing and anti-wrinkle care particularly effective against expression lines.
Palmityl Tripeptide-5 is another biomimetic peptide that strengthens skin elasticity and makes skin appear smoother, reduces fine lines and wrinkles
Hexapeptide-8 this biomimetic peptide increases Collagen as well as Laminin-5, filaggrin, keratin and other epidermal markers. It also enhances skin barrier function and tackling pre-aging signs. It reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and helps with skin repair and barrier function so effective against acne scars.
