Peptides

Peptides are short chains of amino-acids that play a crucial role in the structure and function of proteins in the body. In recent years, peptides have become increasingly popular as a skin ingredient in skincare products. They can help boost collagen production to help keep the skin firm and supple. As collagen decreases with age, peptides in skincare can counteract this process. As well as this, peptides can increase hyaluronic acid production, improve the skin barrier function and certain peptides, often derived from soy and rice, can help dark circles and puffiness. Peptides can sometimes cause sensitivity so easing them into your skincare regime is recommended.
