Peptides in Skincare: What They Are and Their Benefits

What are Peptides?

Peptides are amino acids which form proteins in your body including in the skin.

What are the benefits of peptides in skincare?

Peptides can be added to skincare formulas to enhance the efficacy of the products. Due to their tiny molecular size, peptides penetrate deep into the skin layers and help your skin to produce collagen, elastin and other skin proteins. Peptides strengthen and firm up the skin while also reduce signs of ageing and damage.

Do all peptides provide the same benefits for the skin?

No, some peptides are better than the others. To get the most benefits from peptides, choose skincare products which contain at least one of these following peptides:

1. Marine Collagen Peptides

Marine collagen peptides are the best collagen-boosting peptides to firm up and improve skin elasticity.

2. N-Acetyl Glucosamine

N-acetyl glucosamine is the best peptide to boost skin cell renewal and erase the signs of photoageing including hyperpigmentation, wrinkles, lines and uneven skin tone.

3. Colloidal Gold Peptide

Colloidal gold peptide is the best peptide to protect your skin from environmental damage, inflammation and irritation.

Can all skin types benefit from peptides?

Yes, all skin types can benefit from peptides in skincare products. Peptides particularly marine collagen peptides, n-acetyl glucosamine and colloidal gold peptide help maintain skin's collagen and elastin levels which every skin type can benefit from.

Are peptides safe for use during pregnancy and breastfeeding?

Peptides in skincare products can be from natural or synthetic sources. For safety reason especially during pregnancy and breastfeeding, choose skincare products which contain natural peptides such as marine collagen peptides, n-acetyl glucosamine and colloidal gold peptide. Be well informed that if you are allergic to shellfish, do a patch test before using skincare products which contain n-acetyl glucosamine.

Is there any ingredient recommended to be used together with peptides?

To get the best possible results from peptides, look for skincare products which contain a combination of peptides, coenzyme Q10 and vitamin E. Studies showed that coenzyme Q10 and vitamin E help protect collagen, elastin and other skin proteins from environmental damage.

When is the best time to use peptide skincare products?

Peptides like marine collagen peptides, n-acetyl glucosamine and colloidal gold peptide are not known to be phototoxic, so you can use skincare products which use these peptides as active ingredients at anytime during the day and night.
