Peptides

Peptides are small chains of amino acids that act as biological messengers in the skin. They can, in particular, stimulate cells to produce collagen and elastin, two essential proteins for maintaining the firmness and elasticity of the skin. There are numerous peptides, each with its own properties. Peptides are now key active ingredients in facial and hair care.

FAQ about peptides

Why are peptides important for the skin?

Generally, peptides act on various targets involved in supporting and maintaining skin density to limit skin aging, but their role doesn't stop there. Each peptide has its own properties, ranging from reducing oxidative stress to skin hydration, and stimulating cellular renewal.

Can peptides help to reduce wrinkles and fine lines?

Some peptides may help to reduce wrinkles and fine lines by boosting collagen production and promoting the regeneration of skin tissues.

What are the most common peptides in skin care products?

Common peptides include signal peptides such as Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4 (Matrixyl), inhibitory peptides like Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 (Argireline), and transport peptides such as Copper Tripeptide-1, which stimulate collagen and promote skin regeneration.

Are peptides safe for all skin types?

Peptides are generally safe for all skin types, as they are well tolerated and rarely cause irritations or allergic reactions, even on sensitive skin.

Are the peptides used in cosmetics natural or synthetic?

This depends on the peptides, some are of natural origin and others have been synthesized in the laboratory. They are, however, equally effective.
