What Are Peptides?
Peptides are comprised of two or more amino acids. They are protein building blocks and one common skin protein you may already be familiar with is collagen, which is made up of three long chains of peptides. Another is elastin, which contributes to the elasticity of your skin, of course!
Peptide Benefits for Skin
Peptides are such an important part of any anti-aging skincare routine. After all, formulations with peptides can help your skin appear firmer and smooth out wrinkles — so what’s not to love? If you’re interested in smoother, firmer-looking skin — formulas with peptides can help achieve your skin goals.
Skincare products formulated with peptides can help address signs of aging. Because formulas with this ingredient can be so beneficial in smoothing out your skin and decreasing the appearance of wrinkles, it is a great choice for mature skin in particular.

“Signs of aging are the top concerns that bring patients into my office. A daily skincare routine with effective products including anti-aging ingredients like peptides really goes a long way to help decrease the look of visible skin aging like wrinkles, loss of firmness and loss of elasticity. A formula with peptides can work to help restore that look of firmer, more youthful-looking skin that decreases as we age.”
