Peptides are strings of amino acids, which are the building blocks that make up proteins in our body, including skin collagen. Peptides serve as the building blocks for not only new collagen, but also elastin fibers. They maintain skin firmness, texture and overall appearance. Without these proteins, the skin gets more wrinkled and dry.  Peptides are found in every human cell and play an important role in how the body functions.

If Peptides are readily available in our body, WHY NEED MORE?

So if peptides are already present within the body, why do we need more of them? AGING – We lose 1% of our remaining peptides and collagen per year after the age 30. When you introduce peptides onto the skin in the form of a moisturizer, serum or ampoule, it tricks the skin into thinking there’s been an injury or wound, and it stimulates our collagen-boosting processes. 

Carrier Peptides found in skincare products deliver trace minerals to the skin to boost collagen production. For those suffering from premature skin aging due to adverse conditions, the peptides signal your skin to boost its production of collagen and even hyaluronic acid, boosting up your skin and restoring a healthy skin barrier.

How do I get more Peptides?

When you apply peptide enriched skincare products on your skin, the body sees these peptides as ‘signals’ that you need to heal, which tells your body to produce more collagen where you need it most.

Finding the right product type is very, very important. For example, instead of choosing a peptide-enriched cleanser, it is recommended that you choose products that are not easily washed off the skin, like a moisturizer, eye cream, serum or ampoule. Once you find the right product, it is recommended to apply it on a clean skin twice a day.

Here are some of our highly recommended Peptide enriched skincare products that will greatly enhance your skin’s collagen production.
