Peptide skincare for firmer, smoother-looking skin

Peptides are short chains of amino acids, the building blocks of proteins such as collagen and elastin, which keep skin firm and elastic. In skincare, peptides act like messengers that support the skin's own renewal processes. They have become a key anti-ageing ingredient because they target the look of fine lines, firmness and texture while being gentle enough for most skin types, including sensitive skin.

Types of peptides

• Signal peptides: support the look of firmer, plumper skin.
• Copper peptides: known for their soothing and renewing properties.
• Neuropeptides: help soften the appearance of expression lines.
• Carrier peptides: help deliver minerals to the skin.

How to use peptides

1. Apply a peptide serum after cleansing and toning, morning and evening.
2. Follow with a moisturiser; many peptide creams combine both steps.
3. Wear sunscreen daily to protect collagen from sun damage.
4. Be consistent: results build over several weeks.

Peptides vs retinol

Retinol is a powerful renewal ingredient but can cause irritation. Peptides are gentler and suit sensitive skin, and the two can be used together, for example peptides in the morning and retinol at night.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use peptides with vitamin C?

Yes, many people use them in the same routine. If you are using a very strong acid product, apply it at a different time of day.

At what age should I start using peptides?

There's no fixed age. Many people add them in their late twenties or thirties as a preventive step.
