Peptides

What are peptides?

Scientifically speaking, peptides are tiny fragments of protein molecules: short chains of amino acids that are naturally occurring in the skin. Practically speaking, peptides are a growing trend in anti aging skin care!

What do peptides do?

Peptides can increase the production of collagen and elastin, both of which plump the skin and give it elasticity. And both of which decline as we age.

Multiple clinical studies have demonstrated the significant effect of formulations containing a peptide scientist refer to as pal-KTTKS on wrinkle reduction and facial appearance improvement. Also a plus is the fact that pal-KTTKS is gentle on the skin barrier and well tolerated, with a low incidence of skin irritations such as redness, dryness, burning, stinging or itching.

Not surprisingly, the use of peptides in commercial products has significantly risen in recent years. Another peptide getting its fair share of attention is pal-KT. Expect to see more from peptides in the future.
