From fine lines to wrinkles, skin aging will happen to us all, but wouldn’t it be wonderful if we could improve the appearance of some of the most common signs? Well, skincare products containing peptides may be able to lend a helping hand.
You might have heard a lot about them, but what are peptides and how can they benefit the skin? Carry on reading to find out.
What are Peptides?
Peptides are short strings of amino acids that link together to form large proteins like collagen, elastin, and keratin.
In fact, studies have been conducted on how peptides are linked to improved skin structure. Although human skin naturally produces peptides, it can be supported with a good skincare regimen, consisting of products that contain peptides and other key ingredients.
Expert Tip: Peptides and proteins can easily be confused, but the simplest way to understand the difference is to think of peptides as the building blocks that make up protein molecules.
What are Peptides in Skincare?
Peptides are the building blocks of the proteins in the skin and can assist with the structure, elasticity, texture, and strength to promote a radiant and smooth complexion.
One study looking into the benefits of peptide skincare found that they may be able to improve the structure of the skin and reduce the appearance of wrinkles.
What do Collagen Peptides Do?
Collagen is the most abundant protein in the body and is thought to provide strength and structure to the skin, to improve elasticity and firmness.
As we age, collagen production within the skin reduces, which may cause sagging and wrinkles. Using skincare products containing collagen peptides may be beneficial – particularly for mature skin – as it is thought to help improve elasticity.
