Peptides

What it is

Peptides are short chains of amino acids — the building blocks of proteins. In cosmetic formulation, specific peptide sequences are selected for the distinct roles they play in supporting the look of smoother, firmer skin.

Why we use it

Different peptides address different visible signs of aging. Combining complementary peptides allows one formula to support multiple visible concerns at once.

How it works

Signal peptides, such as Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4, are designed to support the look of firmness. Neurotransmitter-inspired peptides, such as Acetyl Hexapeptide-8, help soften the appearance of expression lines.

Best for

  • Fine lines + wrinkles
