Peptides for redness and sensitivity: how to use it and what to expect

Let's be honest about what Peptides can really do, and what it can't.

What is Peptides

Peptides are short chains of amino acids that signal the skin to produce more collagen and elastin.

How Peptides helps for redness and sensitivity

Redness is often linked to a weakened barrier and dilated surface vessels. Peptides approaches the problem from a different angle: peptides are short chains of amino acids that signal the skin to produce more collagen and elastin. As a result, used consistently, it gently improves the skin for redness and sensitivity.

How to use it

• Cleanse with a gentle, non-stripping product.
• Apply peptides to dry skin, starting 2–3 times a week.
• Seal with a moisturiser to support the barrier.
• Always use SPF 30+ in the morning.

Precautions

Peptides are gentle and layer with almost any active — a great choice for sensitive skin. Avoid aggressive exfoliants and hot water.
