In recent years, oligopeptides, peptides, and peptides have become popular in skincare products, and many world-renowned cosmetics brands have also launched skincare products containing peptides.
So, is “peptide” a skin beauty treasure or a marketing gimmick created by brand manufacturers?
What are the functions of peptides?
Used in the medical field
Medicine: Peptides, as epidermal growth factors, have important significance in the field of medicine. Research has shown that they can promote the growth of injured skin tissue, inhibit the secretion of gastric acid, promote the growth of burned skin and the healing of skin ulcers. They play an important role in the treatment of skin diseases, stomach diseases, and corneal transplantation surgery!
Used in the beauty industry
▪️ 01 Nourishing the Skin – Repairing and Nourishing
The human skin is susceptible to damage due to various factors such as natural environment, weather, radiation, etc. Therefore, people particularly need
Repair damaged skin
Peptide derived biological cytokines can promote deep skin cells
The growth, division, and metabolism of epithelial cells promote the growth of microvessels and improve the microenvironment for cell growth
Therefore, it has a good repairing and caring effect on damaged skin, sensitive skin, and traumatized skin.
▪️ 02 Wrinkle removal and anti-aging
Peptides can promote the metabolism of various skin cells
Enhancing and strengthening the absorption of nutrients can lower the average age of skin tissue
In addition, it can also promote the synthesis of hydroxyproline and promote the synthesis of collagen and collagenase
Secreting collagen substances, hyaluronic acid, and sugar eggs to regulate collagen fibers, it has the effect of moisturizing the skin, enhancing skin elasticity, reducing skin wrinkles, and preventing skin aging.
▪️ 03 Whitening and Spot Removal
Due to the availability of cytokines such as peptides
Promoting the replacement and renewal of aging cells with new cells can reduce the content of melanin and colored cells in skin cells and alleviate the deposition of skin pigments
That is to say, it can improve the pigmentation status of the skin at the level of skin cells
This can achieve the purpose of whitening and removing spots
▪️ 04 Sunscreen and post sun repair
Can quickly repair damaged cells
Reduce the damage of direct ultraviolet radiation to the skin and lower the abnormal increase of melanocytes in the basal layer of the skin
Block melanin synthesis
Reduce the growth of dark spots on the skin after sun exposure
Eliminating gene mutation factors in damaged cells
Preventing photoaging has a repairing effect on preventing UV damage and post sun damage
▪️ 05 Acne prevention and scar removal
Due to its ability to stimulate the formation of granulation tissue and promote epithelialization, peptides can also regulate collagen degradation and renewal
Arrange collagen fibers in a linear manner to prevent abnormal proliferation of connective tissue
Therefore, it has the effect of shortening the wound healing time and reducing scar formation, which has a good effect on preventing the formation of acne
