Peptide cosmetics: what are the main benefits for the skin?

In the last few years, peptides in cosmetic formulations have been talked about as often and with the same enthusiasm as hyaluronic acid. And the reason is obvious – peptides stimulate collagen formation, increase skin firmness and elasticity, and some can be used from a young age, thereby increasing the effectiveness of the fight against age-related skin changes.

Peptides in cosmetology began to be used about 40 years ago. Then the first products containing the peptide appeared. Cosmetologists fell in love with them for different properties:

– stimulation of the production of hyaluronic acid, collagen and elastin – the three main components responsible for skin elasticity and as a result:

• skin tone equalization;
• restoration and strengthening of the skin barrier;
• fight acne.

In addition, the peptides help to eliminate the mobility of the facial muscles of the face, slowing the formation of wrinkles.

The line of the Russian professional cosmetics brand Femegyl also includes products whose active ingredients are peptides. For example, a moisturizing eye cream that acts on all the problems that arise around the eyes. The dipeptide carnosine in its formula acts as a powerful antioxidant and also protects the skin against photoaging caused by infrared radiation and blue light.

And palmitoyl tripeptide-38 in the formula of a regenerating face cream helps to strengthen the extracellular matrix by stimulating the synthesis of collagen fibers. The uniqueness of the peptide is that it slows down the aging process and restores skin elasticity.

We are sure that the number of peptide cosmetics and the general passion for them will only increase. The properties of peptides are diverse and unique, and to know this firsthand, it’s time to incorporate products with them into your daily beauty routine!
