Decree Peptide Emolient Veil

Judging from the ingredient list, "Decree - Peptide Emolient Veil" works well for improving skin hydration To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. Decree - Peptide Emolient Veil ticks this box. Humectants in this product (acetyl hexapeptide-8, acetyl octapeptide-3, glycerin, sodium hyaluronate and butylene glycol) help to increase the water content in the upper layer of the skin. (These ingredients do so by "capturing" water molecules from the outside air or from within the deeper layers of the skin). Palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7, palmitoyl tripeptide-1, prunus armeniaca kernel oil, squalane and c10-18 triglycerides in this product help decrease the water evoporation from the skin, so that it stays hydrated for longer. These ingredients also soften the skin and take away the feeling of tightness and dryness.

Ingredient callouts

• We like that this moisturizer contains peptides (pentapeptide-18 0.40% - 0.90%, palmitoyl tripeptide-1 0.45% - 1.00%, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7 0.40% - 0.95%, dipeptide diaminobutyroyl benzylamide diacetate 0.35% - 0.80%, acetyl octapeptide-3 0.35% - 0.85% and acetyl hexapeptide-8 0.40% - 0.95%). There are many different kind of peptides and they are naturally present in our skin. They all are a combination of amino-acids. Some of them work as natural anti-biotics, promote wound-healing and production of collagen. The science is still not settled on how effective peptides in skincare are, but it is very likely that they have a benefit. Peptides might help restore the skin barrier and fight the signs of aging. At the very least, peptides work as humectants: they attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve its hydration.
