Peptides are the “it ingredient” of 2020, but what are they really? 🫣 They are these amazing short chains of amino acids that, when used in skincare, offer a plethora of amazing benefits such as: ▶️ plumpy skin ▶️ reduced wrinkles ▶️ improved elasticity ▶️ stronger skin barrier In theory, peptides are too big to penetrate your skin so they shouldn’t work. In practice, studies show that peptides do have an effect on the skin, help boost collagen and firm skin. 🤩 While the number of studies isn’t close to skincare classics like retinoids and vitamin C, they are now substantial enough to be worth a shot. I personally LOVE using peptides in my routine and saw a definite improvement. 💚 There are many types of peptides used in skincare products and I went over some most popular ones in this video. I recommend trying out one by one so you can track your progress and figure out which one works best for your skin!
