Peptides: The Messengers for Youthful Skin

Peptides are true multi-talents in anti-aging skincare. As small protein building blocks, they stimulate collagen production, reduce fine lines and firm the skin. Learn here how peptides work and in which products they are contained!

What are Peptides?

Peptides are short chains of amino acids, the smallest building blocks of proteins like collagen and elastin. In the skin, they function as messenger substances that stimulate cells to produce more of these important proteins. With increasing age, the body's own production of these proteins decreases - the result is wrinkles, fine lines and an overall tired complexion.

This is where peptides come in: They send signals to the fibroblasts, the collagen and elastin producing cells in the dermis, thus stimulating them to increased activity. The result is firmer, smoother and more youthful skin.

The Best Peptide Products for Your Skin

One of our favorite peptide serums is the NUVASKIN™ AgeDefy - Activating Serum. It combines powerful peptides with moisturizing hyaluronic acid for plump, smooth skin.

The Verfons Snake Venom Peptide Eye Cream also contains peptides specifically tailored to the delicate eye area. It reduces fine lines, puffiness and dark circles for an awake, fresh look.

The Beauty Eye Cream is another firming eye cream with peptides specifically developed for mature skin. It smooths fine lines, provides moisture and makes the eyes shine.

For comprehensive anti-aging care, the Aichun Snail Collagen Series Set is recommended. The products combine peptides with snail extract and collagen for an all-around firmer, smoother and plumper skin.

The MIZON Snail Repair Intensive Ampoule combines peptides with highly concentrated snail extract in a powerful ampoule. It stimulates collagen production, reduces wrinkles and pigmentation spots, and provides intense hydration.

How to Use Peptides Correctly

Peptides unfold their effect best in the form of serums and creams. Serums are applied to the still slightly damp skin after cleansing and gently patted in. This is followed by the face cream.

Ideally, you use peptide products twice a day, morning and evening. For eye care, evening application is sufficient. Give the skin time to get used to the active ingredient - after about 4 weeks, first results are visible.

In conclusion, peptides are real wonder weapons in the fight against wrinkles and sagging skin. They stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, firm the skin tissue and thus conjure up an all-round youthful, fresh appearance. Perfect for anyone who wants to do something good for their skin and reduce the signs of aging!
