Peptides

Peptides are short chains of amino acids used in skincare to signal fibroblasts toward collagen production, refine barrier, and visibly firm the skin. Different families act differently: signal peptides (Matrixyl), carrier peptides (copper-GHK), and neurotransmitter inhibitors (Argireline). Pair well with most actives. Apply at a different routine step from high-pH acid peels, which can cleave peptide bonds.

What Peptides does

Short chains of amino acids that act as messengers in the skin. In anti-aging formulas they support the signals behind firmness and elasticity, softening the look of fine lines for smoother, more resilient skin.
