Peptides in skin care…

Let's dive into ingredients today, specifically - peptides! 🧪💫

Peptides are short chains of amino acids, aka the building blocks of proteins, which are the main structures of our skin. Think of them as the tiny messengers of your skin, communicating to produce more collagen - the stuff that gives our skin its firmness and bounce. Each type targets different skin concerns, offering an array of benefits. Here are a few types of peptides that are beneficial for the skin:

💖 Matrixyl (Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4): This is one of the most effective peptides, known to stimulate collagen synthesis, resulting in anti-aging effects. It can improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

💖 Argireline (Acetyl Hexapeptide-8): Often touted as 'Botox in a jar', this peptide helps to relax muscles on the face, thereby reducing the appearance of expression lines and wrinkles.

💖 Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7: This peptide can help fight inflammation, which accelerates skin aging. It may reduce the appearance of uneven skin tone and wrinkles.

💖 Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1: This peptide stimulates collagen production and can improve the skin's texture and elasticity. It's often used in products targeted for mature skin.
