Peptides are short chains of amino acids — the building blocks of proteins like collagen and elastin. In skincare, they act as messengers: signalling skin to produce more collagen, repair damage, or firm tissue. They are one of the few anti-aging ingredients with genuine clinical evidence behind them.
The most researched peptide in cosmetics. Signals fibroblasts to produce collagen and hyaluronic acid. Studies show comparable results to retinol with none of the irritation. The anti-aging workhorse.
Known as 'topical Botox' — reduces the depth of expression lines by relaxing the muscle contractions that form them. Most effective around eyes and forehead where expression lines dominate.
Copper-infused peptide that stimulates collagen and elastin production, reduces inflammation and accelerates wound healing. One of the most potent skin-regenerating ingredients available without a prescription.
Derived from salmon DNA — the active in professional skin booster injections, now available in topical form. Repairs cellular DNA, stimulates tissue regeneration and deeply hydrates. Clinical-grade K-beauty innovation.
Broad class of peptides that trigger skin to produce its own collagen, elastin and other structural proteins. Work gradually — noticeable results at 6–12 weeks of consistent use. Ideal layer under moisturiser.
