Peptides in skincare products: peptide creams and serums

Protect your beauty and age gracefully! Peptides have taken over the world of anti-ageing products and, alongside AHAs and retinol, have become a sought-after ingredient to regenerate the skin, smooth wrinkles and effectively stimulate collagen production in the skin. Discover the rejuvenating effects of peptides on your skin and hair for yourself!

What are peptides?

Peptides are organic substances made up of amino acids that regulate various biochemical processes in cells, tissues and organs. Depending on the amino acid content, we differentiate between polypeptides, oligopeptides and proteins, which are the building blocks of the skin. The best-known peptide proteins include collagen, keratin and elastin.

Peptides are normally found in our body, but as soon as the quantity decreases, our skin sags and loses elasticity and wrinkles appear. That’s why it’s a good idea to supplement peptides in skincare products along with other active ingredients such as antioxidants and vitamins to promote fresh and youthful-looking skin.

Characteristics of peptides

The spectrum of the positive effects of peptides on your skin and hair is truly diverse, as their characteristics are influenced by the number, types and order of amino acids in each peptide chain, and there are hundreds of different types of amino acid linkages. Skincare products with peptides can therefore contain several types at once.

Peptides for skin – effects

They help reduce wrinkles.
They soften and smooth the skin.
They deliver hydration.
They stimulate collagen and elastin production in the skin and restore firmness.
They help regenerate the skin.

Peptides for hair – effects

Strengthen hair follicles.
They deliver necessary hydration to the scalp and roots.
They promote hair growth, as well as eyelash and eyebrow growth.

Peptides in skincare products

With their positive effects on the skin and hair, peptides are used in the cosmetic industry in many products, such as face serums, creams, makeup, shampoos and hair masks. Skincare products with peptides make it possible to visibly improve the condition of the skin and stimulate the skin to constantly renew itself and counteract the signs of ageing. Thanks to the natural occurrence of peptides in the human body, they are also suitable for very sensitive skin.

The most popular products with peptides include:

Cream with peptides helps rejuvenate the skin, reduce wrinkles and other signs of ageing, and promote hydration and nourishment for the skin. The skin looks brighter, firmer and more youthful.
