What do peptides do for skin?
Peptides are small chains of amino acids (the building blocks of proteins) that help provide skin with many anti-aging benefits. These can include visibly smoothing fine lines and wrinkles, firming, protecting your skin barrier and renewing dull skin to create a more youthful-looking appearance.
Who should use peptides for skin?
Peptides are a great addition to any skincare routine no matter your age, skin type or concerns.
How do I use peptides in my skincare routine?
Peptides can be found in skincare essentials like moisturizers, serums, eye creams and targeted treatments. They also work well in combination with other popular skincare ingredients including Hyaluronic Acid and Vitamin C.
How often can I use peptides in skincare?
Products with peptides for skin can be used every day up to twice per day. Our Advanced Night Repair Serum, made with our exclusive Night Peptide, can be used daily morning and night for 7 skin-renewing benefits. If you’re using peptides in your morning skincare routine, be sure to follow up with a high-level SPF product.
