Everything you need to know about Peptides in skincare

Peptides are amino acids that are building blocks of certain proteins such as collagen, keratin and elastin. These proteins are responsible for your skin's texture, resilience and strength. Peptides are most commonly found in your moisturisers and serums. When using a moisturiser or serum that contains peptides it can lead to firmer and more youthful skin.

Every year after you turn 30, you lose 1% of your skin’s natural collagen. So, it’s important you keep topping up those Collagen reserves to maintain a healthy balance and young, fresh-looking skin.
