DRMTLGY Peptide Night Cream

Based on the ingredients included, "DRMTLGY - Peptide Night Cream" works well for moisturizing the skin. As we expect from a proper moisturizer, the formula includes a combo of effective humectants and emollients. These are the two different types of ingredients that are essential for improving the skin hydration and supporting a healthy skin barrier. Dextran, glycerin and butylene glycol in this product (humectants) attract water molecules to the upper layer of the skin (the water comes from the outside air or from the deeper layers of the skin if the air is dry). Ceramide eop, ceramide np, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7, palmitoyl tripeptide-1 and phytosphingosine 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

• Another benefit is that this moisturizer contain ceramides (ceramide eop 0.40% - 0.90%, ceramide ap 0.30% - 0.75%, phytosphingosine 0.40% - 0.90%, ceramide np 0.40% - 0.90%, ceramide eop 1.10% - 1.70%, ceramide ap 1.30% - 1.90% and ceramide np 1.60% - 2.40%). Ceramides are an important part of our natural skin barrier. The Ceramides used in skincare are synthetic or come from plants. They help soften the skin and can help "fill the gaps" in the skin barrier, keeping the skin hydrated and resilient for longer.
• This moisturizer also contains Peptides (trifluoroacetyl tripeptide-2 2.00% - 2.90%, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7 0.40% - 0.90%, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7 2.80% - 4.20%, palmitoyl dipeptide-5 diaminobutyroyl hydroxythreonine 0.30% - 0.75%, palmitoyl tripeptide-5 0.30% - 0.75%, trifluoroacetyl tripeptide-2 0.30% - 0.75%, palmitoyl tripeptide-1 0.40% - 0.90%, palmitoyl tripeptide-5 3.70% - 5.50%, palmitoyl tripeptide-1 4.50% - 6.80% and palmitoyl dipeptide-5 diaminobutyroyl hydroxythreonine 3.90% - 5.90%). Peptides are a very big group of ingredients. They all consist of a different combination of aminoacids. Our skin produces Peptides naturally. Some of them work as natural antibiotics, promote wound-healing and production of collagen. The scientists are still studying how effective the topical application of Peptides is, but it is very likely that they are helpful. Peptides might be able to support skin barrier restoration and even have an anti-aging benefit. At the very least, they certainly help attract water to the skin and support the hydration in this way.
• In addition, this moisturizer contains Allantoin (0.60% - 1.35%). Allantoin is helpful in wound-healing and can help restore the skin barrier faster. It might also be able to improve scars, but the evidence is not very strong for this.
