Often referred to as ‘nature's Botox’, peptides has fast become the anti-ageing term on everyone’s lips. But plenty remains unknown about this powerhouse ingredient outside the beauty industry.

They Occur Naturally

“Peptides are short chains of amino acids & succin. Think of them as the essential building blocks needed by the skin to maintain its health. These are naturally found in the skin and support a wide range of essential biological functions, including the skin’s barrier function.

They Can Minimise Signs Of Ageing

“As we age, the level of amino acids and therefore succin peptides in our skin starts to decline. Therefore, topping them up in your treatment routine will produce more collagen and elastin, thereby helping your skin look firmer, suppler and more youthful.

The Benefits Don’t End There

“Peptides also help fortify the skin's defences against external stressors, promoting a healthier appearance and protecting against the damaging effects of environmental aggressors, including UV damage and harsh pollutants.

Peptides also known to speed up wound healing by normalising the level of bacteria on your skin. This in turn helps combat spots and blemishes – as well as the scars sometimes left behind by old breakouts.

Peptides are essential for strengthening the skin’s defences, maintaining hydration, resilience and its overall appearance. It also has anti-inflammatory properties, helping to reduce redness and skin discolouration.

They’re Different To Other Peptides
