What is Peptides

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

How Peptides helps for wrinkles

Wrinkles form as collagen and elastin decline and photo-damage accumulates. In this scenario Peptides works with purpose — 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 wrinkles.

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.
