What Is Peptides?
Peptides are short chains of amino acids that act as cellular messengers in the skin. These small but powerful molecules can signal cells to perform specific functions, from boosting collagen production to relaxing expression muscles.
Different peptide types serve different purposes: signal peptides stimulate collagen synthesis, neurotransmitter-affecting peptides reduce muscle movement, and carrier peptides deliver trace minerals. This versatility makes peptides essential in modern anti-ageing formulations.
