Peptides

Peptides
The building blocks of firmer, smoother, healthier-looking skin.

Peptides are short chains of amino acids — the same amino acids that make up the proteins your skin depends on, like collagen, elastin and keratin. Think of them as the building blocks of skin: when applied topically, peptides act as messengers, signalling your skin to repair, renew and produce more of the proteins that keep it firm, plump and resilient. As natural collagen production slows with age, peptides are one of the most effective ways to support skin strength and bounce.

What peptides do for your skin

Peptides work with your skin rather than against it, which makes them powerful yet gentle — well tolerated even by sensitive skin. Depending on the type, they can firm and smooth the look of fine lines and wrinkles, support a stronger moisture barrier, improve hydration and elasticity, calm and soothe, and help skin look more even and revitalised. Because there are many different peptides — signal peptides, carrier peptides, enzyme-inhibitor peptides and neurotransmitter-inhibiting peptides — formulas often combine several to target multiple concerns at once.

Who they’re for

Peptides suit virtually everyone, but they’re especially valuable for anyone concerned with ageing, loss of firmness, fine lines or a weakened skin barrier. They pair beautifully with hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid and antioxidants like vitamin C, and they’re a gentle alternative — or a great companion — to stronger actives like retinol.
