Product Summary
Based on the ingredients included, "Niche Beauty lab - DERMA - PEPTIDES 22% Multi-Peptide Treatment" works well for moisturizing the skin. This moisturizer uses a good combo of humectants and emollients. These both types of ingredients are essentials for improving the skin hydration and keeping the skin barrier healthy. Dextran, glycerin, sodium hyaluronate, sodium lactate 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). Emollients in this formulation (palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7, palmitoyl tripeptide-1, caprylic/capric triglyceride, cetyl alcohol and glycine soja seed extract) help to reduce the moisture loss from the skin. They also soften the skin surface and relieve the feeling of dryness and tightness.
Ingredient callouts
- We like that this moisturizer contains peptides (nonapeptide-1 0.20% - 0.40%, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7 0.30% - 0.55%, palmitoyl dipeptide-10 0.30% - 0.50%, sh-polypeptide-9 0.30% - 0.55%, palmitoyl tripeptide-1 0.40% - 0.60%, palmitoyl tripeptide-38 0.30% - 0.60%, acetyl tetrapeptide-2 0.35% - 0.65%, n-prolyl palmitoyl tripeptide-56 acetate 0.45% - 0.65% and acetyl hexapeptide-1 0.50% - 0.75%). There are many different kind of Peptides and they are naturally present in our skin. They all are a combination of aminoacids. Some of them work as natural antibiotics, promote wound-healing and production of collagen. The science is still not settled on how effective Peptides are in skincare, 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.

Moisturizing
This product can help improve hydration of the skin with the two types of ingredients.
The first type is called “humectants”:
these ingredients help attract water.
When humectants are on the surface of the skin, they “pull in” the moisture from the outside environment, or from
within deeper layers of the skin. The following ingredients in this product do the job:
dextran, glycerin.
This product also contains ingredients called “occlusives”. They help reduce the speed with which our skin loses moisture to the outside environment. These ingredients also help soften the upper layer of the skin, so it feels less tight and nicer to the touch. The following ingredients in this product do the job: caprylic/capric triglyceride, cetyl alcohol.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: acetyl hexapeptide-1, acetyl tetrapeptide-2, n-prolyl palmitoyl tripeptide-56 acetate, nonapeptide-1, palmitoyl dipeptide-10, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7, palmitoyl tripeptide-1, palmitoyl tripeptide-38, sh-polypeptide-9
