Peptides are a great ingredient in your skincare if you are concerned with anti-aging. Which, we all are. Peptides are compounds with two or more chains of amino acids that make up protein. As we age or are exposed to environmental aggressors like the sun or stress, our collagen (connective protein) and elastin (structure protein) break down causing wrinkles. Peptides applied to the skin can help plump and firm the skin. More importantly, they can send signals to our cells to remind them to function properly. Below are a few peptide products found at skinfo® and skinfo.com that we LOVE!
