Peptides in cosmetics: the most effective and gentle anti-aging active ingredient

What are peptides in cosmetics and why is everyone talking about them?

You may have heard of retinol, hyaluronic acid, or vitamin C. But there is one active ingredient that is gaining prominence in the most advanced and effective formulas: peptides .

Simply put, peptides are protein fragments that act as messengers between cells. Their job is to tell your skin what to do to stay firm, youthful, and healthy.

What do peptides do for your skin?

As we age, natural collagen and elastin production declines. Peptides stimulate the skin to produce more of these key proteins. The result:

  • Firmer and more elastic skin

  • Fewer wrinkles and expression lines

  • Softer texture

  • Greater luminosity

  • Improvement of the skin barrier

And the best part: they are ideal for sensitive skin , because they do not irritate like other anti-aging active ingredients.

Peptides or retinol? Which should you choose?

It's not a war: it's an alliance. While vegan retinol (like bakuchiol) improves cell renewal, peptides help rebuild and strengthen skin from within.

Our recommendation? Alternate them or use them at different times of the day: one at night, one during the day. This way, you get complete, powerful, and gentle care for your skin.

When to start using peptides?

Starting at age 30 , your skin begins to lose collagen at an accelerated rate. Introducing peptide products into your routine is a smart way to prevent and reverse visible signs of aging .

How to use them in your routine?

  1. Cleanse your skin with a gentle cleanser (ideally natural and soap-free).

  2. Apply your serum (for example, with hyaluronic acid).

  3. Then, apply your peptide cream to seal in moisture and work deeply.

You can use it morning and night, or just during the day if you combine it with vegan retinol at night.
