They occur naturally in the body, and are triggers for proteins such as elastin and collagen. But peptides aren’t enough on their own

My heart gladdens when an established and evidenced skincare ingredient catches fire in an industry full of dubious claims and silly, marketing-driven trends. In a world of oxygen-boosts, diamond dust and Boswelox, be more peptide and you will finally get your moment.

Peptides are everywhere and it’s high time, since they are endlessly supportive of good-looking skin. Peptides are short or long chains of amino acids, occur naturally in the body, and are commonly referred to as “the building blocks of skin”. But it’s maybe more helpful to think of them as triggers for proteins such as elastin and collagen.
