Clearly, Peptides have become synonymous with Advanced Skin Care, in particular when it comes to very active “anti-aging” products. Most people recognize the word Peptide but how they function and why they are beneficial is not as widely known. For your home skin care routine it is helpful to have some understanding of Peptides so that you are able to select products that offer the benefits you are looking for.
Peptides are fundamental components of cells that carry out very purposeful biological functions. While similar to Proteins in some ways, Peptides are smaller and typically defined as molecules that consist of 2 to 50 amino acids. Peptides communicate, and are recognized by, a specific receptor molecule or protein within the cell membrane. This communication within the cell can lead to a larger event (result) which includes: collagen synthesis, enhanced metabolism, nerve signal transmission (contraction) or lack of transmission within the cells (relaxation).
As a non-surgical skin care products, we use Peptides as single, stand-alone components or in blends which contain more than one peptide, often achieving a myriad of benefits. Frequently, Peptides are combined with other skin conditioning ingredients, such as Hyaluronic Acid, Retinol and Vitamin C, which enhance their performance.
When seeking products for Mature Skin most of our clients request the inclusion of Peptides. Offering Peptide-rich products is a popular choice to satisfy an aging demographic who crave products with scientifically validated benefits.
Coming Soon. We are adding an advanced formulation called Peptide Matrix to our product line. It will available for purchase by end of November 2024. We recommend you let us know you're interested, just email us and you will be added to the Peptides waiting list and be the first to know.
