What Exactly Are Peptides?

“Peptides are the building blocks of collagen and elastin fibers that are found in our skin,. They’re short chains of amino acids, and can tell the body to produce even more collagen.

“When applied to the skin as a topical serum or moisturizer, the peptides act as a messenger,”

they will then stabilize and transport compounds that are important to the production of collagen. Thanks to this, peptides can help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles—but that’s not all.

Since peptides are comprised of up to 50 amino acids, they’re also incredibly mutable: “All you have to do is add, subtract, or replace one of those amino acids, and then you have a new peptide that might have a different function,” Robinson explains. According to recent research on the topic, these functions include smoothing, firming, reducing inflammation and locking in hydration.
