Peptides are a key ingredient in skincare that can help improve the appearance of your complexion. If you're searching for a non-retinol product that provides visible results, take a look at our powerful peptide serums.

Peptide skincare FAQs

Peptides are a key ingredient in a range of skincare products and, with these benefits, it's easy to see why:

  • Younger-looking skin and enhanced firmness: Due to their ability to enhance collagen production, peptide serums for the face can increase firmness and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, resulting in a younger-looking complexion.
  • Faster healing: Peptides can speed up cell regeneration, enabling the skin to heal quicker when exposed to damage.
  • Increased hydration: Because peptides can protect the skin's barrier, moisture is more likely to be absorbed and retained.
  • Even skin tone: Over time, peptide serums for the face can even out the skin tone and reduce the appearance of dark spots.
  • Reduced inflammation: This powerful ingredient can decrease redness in the complexion by reducing inflammation and irritation.
  • Treat blemishes: Peptide serums can reduce blemishes and problem skin areas via their anti-microbial properties.
     

Peptides are found in a range of skincare products including face and eye serums. Multi-peptide serums contain a combination of peptides that target various skin concerns and are easily absorbed into the skin.

Multi-peptide eye serum utilizes the same ingredients to help reduce the appearance of dark circles, wrinkles, and puffiness under the eyes.

What's more, serums work in the deeper layers of the skin to target multiple problem areas and improve the complexion from the inside out.

Yes! Peptide skincare can help improve the skin's hydration, collagen production, and firmness which, over time, can result in a more youthful complexion and smoothness of wrinkles. Multi-peptide serums and eye creams can combat the signs of aging when used as part of your daily regimen.

Both peptides and retinols are ingredients commonly used in a wide range of skincare products, popular due to their anti-aging benefits. But they work in different ways.

Retinol is a powerful ingredient that helps to shed old skin cells and promotes the growth of new ones. Boosting cell turnover contributes to an improvement in the texture and tone of the complexion. Peptides also boost the skin's firmness by improving the barrier and strengthening it against damage.

While peptides are typically tolerated well by most people, retinols can be harsher on the skin, particularly if you've not built up their use over time. While retinols are widely researched and found in some of the most effective skincare products, they can cause some mild side effects in certain skin types. For this reason, peptide serums are a popular choice for those with sensitive skin or those who prefer a gentler product.

Because peptides typically don't irritate or dry out the skin, they are generally well tolerated by all skin types, including those with sensitive and easily irritated skin. This ingredient can also be used alongside other skincare favorites such as niacinamide and hyaluronic acid. Vitamin C is another popular ingredient, suitable for a range of skin types, that's often used alongside peptide serums. Together, they can help brighten the complexion, protect against sun damage, and reduce the signs of aging.

As with many effective skincare ingredients, you might not see the results or benefits straight away. But many people start to notice some improvements within a few weeks. The exact time it takes depends on individual factors such as the level of skin damage, any irritation or inflammation, and how quick your skin cell turnover is.

How soon you'll see positive effects also depends on how often you use a peptide serum or eye cream as consistent use is more likely to produce faster results.
