The Ultimate Guide to Peptides
Written by: Charlotte Smith
When it comes to achieving youthful, radiant skin, peptides are often hailed as the ultimate anti-ageing ingredient, but what exactly are peptides, and why are they so effective? Understanding how peptides work is key to unlocking their full potential in your skincare routine. We’ll uncover the science behind peptides, how they combat the visible signs of ageing, and why our Liquid Peptides Advanced MP is a groundbreaking innovation in peptide technology that delivers dramatic and lasting visible wrinkle reduction.
What are Peptides?
Peptides are short chains of amino acids that form the building blocks of proteins. In skincare, peptides act as messengers that communicate with skin cells, triggering vital processes like collagen production, improving elasticity, and reducing fine lines and wrinkles. They’re more easily absorbed into the skin, allowing them to penetrate deeper layers for faster, more effective results. Liquid Peptides Advanced MP features a first-of-its-kind peptide technology: Dual MiniProteins™. This cutting-edge technology sets a new standard in wrinkle-targeting science, combining two powerful proteins to deliver both immediate and long-term age-defying results.
Why Are Peptides So Powerful For Anti-Ageing?
Peptides are especially effective in addressing the visible signs of ageing because they help boost the skin’s natural ability to repair and regenerate. As we age, our skin’s collagen production naturally slows down, leading to fine lines, wrinkles, and a loss of skin structure. Peptides work by stimulating collagen production and supporting the skin’s structural components, such as elastin and hyaluronic acid, to restore a youthful appearance.
1. Stimulating Collagen Production
Collagen is essential for skin firmness and overall skin structure. As we age, the body’s natural collagen production declines, leading to wrinkles and sagging skin. Peptides encourage the skin to produce more collagen, making the skin firmer and reducing the appearance of wrinkles.
2. Smoothing Fine Lines & Wrinkles
Peptides help smooth the skin by boosting collagen & elastin production, which helps to firm the skin and plumps the appearance of wrinkles.
3. Enhancing Skin Elasticity
As peptides stimulate the production of elastin, the skin becomes more elastic, helping it bounce back from the signs of ageing. This added elasticity leads to firmer, more resilient skin that looks rejuvenated over time.
The Science Behind The Peptide Formula
Dual MiniProteinsTM combines the deep penetration of peptides, with the enhanced potency of proteins - the secret behind anti-wrinkle injections. Their micro-molecular size ensures active ingredients reach deep into the skin, targeting the cells that need them most for faster, more effective results. Meanwhile, their unique 3D folding structure enables them to lock perfectly into skin cell receptors, maximising their
effectiveness to visibly smooth and firm the skin.
The breakthrough formula is further fortified with a 30% Multi-Peptide Complex, which includes Matrixyl 3000™ and encapsulated copper peptides to smooth fine lines and improve skin texture. A next-generation hyaluronic acid blend delivers deep hydration, plumping the skin from within, while a prebiotic complex helps protect the skin’s barrier against environmental stressors. The result? Fast, visible wrinkle reduction and improved skin firmness over time.
