Ingredient Focus: Peptides

In the world of skincare, few ingredients hold as much transformative power as peptides. These microscopic protein fragments are the building blocks of collagen and elastin, the essential fibres that keep our skin firm, plump, and youthful. As we age, collagen production naturally slows down, leading to fine lines, loss of elasticity, and sagging skin. That’s where peptides come in—helping to replenish, restore, and revitalise.

Let’s dive into what makes peptides a game-changer and explore the best peptide-powered products your skin will love.

What Are Peptides and How Do They Work?

Peptides are short chains of amino acids that act as messengers within the skin, signalling it to repair and rebuild essential proteins like collagen, elastin, and keratin. They are small enough to penetrate the skin’s surface, making them incredibly effective in skincare formulations.

Different types of peptides offer unique benefits, peptides can:

• Stimulate collagen production to help firm and smooth skin.

• Promote healing.

• Help slow down collagen breakdown, keeping skin youthful for longer.

• Relax facial muscles, reducing the appearance of expression lines (often called “Botox-like” peptides).

When incorporated into your skincare routine, peptides work synergistically with other active ingredients to enhance their benefits and support long-term skin health.
