Peptides are short chains of amino acids, the building blocks of certain proteins needed by the skin -- including collagen and elastin fibers.

Collagen's primary role is to provide structure, strength, and support in your body, while elastin helps skin stay - well - elastic and bounce-back when stretched.

As we age, we naturally lose collagen and elastin fibers and the structural integrity to skin that they provide. Applying peptides topically can stimulate collagen and elastin fiber production, which helps improve skin firmness and elasticity, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Additionally, peptides can help enhance skin hydration, promote wound healing, and support overall skin health and function.
