Peptides Peptides Peptides. What do you need to know?

Peptides are short chains of amino acids that transmit signals to cells and regulate biological processes in the skin. They stimulate collagen synthesis, reduce inflammation, regulate melanin production and strengthen the skin barrier. With age, the natural production of collagen and elastin decreases, the skin becomes thinner, wrinkles and pigmentation appear. Peptides help cells “remember” how to renew themselves.

Types of peptides and their biological effects

Signal peptides – stimulate fibroblasts to produce more collagen and elastin.
Neuropeptides – inhibit the transmission of nerve impulses to muscles, reducing expression lines.
Enzymatic peptides – protect against free radicals and promote DNA repair.
Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) – regulate the skin microbiome, reduce inflammation and fight bacteria (e.g., LL-37 peptide is effective against acne-causing bacteria).

We can often find peptides in product formulations "hidden" under patented complexes, the most recognizable ones being:

Matrixyl® is one of the most effective anti-aging peptides, stimulating collagen production, reducing wrinkle depth and improving skin firmness.
Argireline® – works similarly to Botox – reduces expression lines by inhibiting muscle contractions, especially in the forehead and eye area.

When to start using peptides?

Like all skin care, it is very individual for everyone, but you can follow these guidelines: From the age of 25 - prevention, skin hydration, first signs of aging.
30–40 years old – more intensive protection of collagen and elastin.
40+ years – stronger anti-aging effect, skin regeneration.
Peptides are not quick-acting ingredients – they need to be used for at least 8-12 weeks to see noticeable results.

How to correctly incorporate peptides into your routine?

✅ Use in serums and creams - the most optimal way to concentrate active ingredients
✅ Combine with: hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, ceramide, vitamin C
❌ Avoid: strong acids (AHA/BHA) and retinol in the same routine – may reduce the effectiveness of peptides

Peptides are not just a trendy ingredient – ​​their effects are backed by science. They work through a variety of mechanisms to help skin stay strong, youthful, and protected.
