Ingredient callouts

  • Peptides (dipeptide diaminobutyroyl benzylamide diacetate 0.55% - 1.30%, palmitoyl tripeptide-38 1.00% - 1.45%, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7 1.30% - 1.90%, palmitoyl tripeptide-1 1.40% - 2.10%, pentapeptide-18 1.60% - 2.40%, acetyl hexapeptide-8 2.00% - 3.00% and copper tripeptide-1 2.60% - 3.90%). 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. They 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.
