Ingredient callouts

  • Peptides (dipeptide diaminobutyroyl benzylamide diacetate 1.10% - 1.30%, palmitoyl tripeptide-38 1.30% - 1.60%, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7 1.50% - 1.90%, palmitoyl tripeptide-1 1.90% - 2.30%, pentapeptide-18 2.20% - 2.70% and acetyl hexapeptide-8 3.00% - 3.60%). 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.
