Why use peptides? 🤔 Peptides are amino acids that make up certain proteins needed by the skin. More specifically, collagen is made of three polypeptide chains, so adding peptides can stimulate your skin to make collagen. More collagen can lead to firmer, younger-looking skin. (Healthline) Also there are multiple peptides (signal, carrier, enzyme inhibitor and neurotransmitter) and they have different benefits but If you look for products with peptides they usually have multiple so you get all the benefits! I said apply a hydrating serum between your actives and peptides because there has been some studies saying they’re less effective when used with non compatible ph products so might be smart to buffer it with a hydrating serum! #peptides #collagen #elastin #antiaging #skincare #skincareroutine #aging #skincare101 #skincaretips
