Do Peptides Live Up to Their Hype?

Dermascope Magazine - January 2015

Peptides are most commonly known for boosting collagen production. Scientific studies reveal that peptides in skin care are progressively effective in promoting skin elasticity and firmness, increasing microcirculation, strengthening capillaries, and boosting cell metabolism.

According to a study presented in Paris, France at the 20th World Congress of Dermatology in as early as 2002, the efficacy of peptides in diminishing fine lines and wrinkles proved to be comparable to that of retinol but revealed faster results.

Peptides exist in varying percentages in products, and some research demonstrated that with every increase in the concentration of particular peptides, there would be enhanced advantages; this research showed that improvements flat-lined past 5%. Overall, it is important to understand the product label and that there is only so much of certain actives that the skin can process. 

Most peptides are hypoallergenic with the exception of copper peptides – making peptides a safe and potent ingredient that benefits even the most sensitive skin conditions, including rosacea.
