What are peptides?
Peptides are short segments of 3-5 amino acids or mini proteins.
How do they work?
When collagen breaks down, it forms specific peptides that act as a signal to tell your skin it was damaged and to make new collagen.
What will peptides do for my skin?
Applying peptides to the skin is a way to trick your skin into thinking it has recently lost collagen and needs to make more. Therefore, the skin’s tone and texture is improved, resulting in a smoother, tighter appearance.
