In previous texts, we briefly explained what peptides are – groups of amino acids, or fragments of proteins that form the building blocks of our skin as well as other tissues.
Collagen is the most abundant protein in the body, composed of chains of amino acids. You have certainly heard of collagen, as it is widely used in various creams and formulations aimed at achieving firmer skin and a youthful appearance.
When collagen breaks down, it forms short segments of amino acids, and peptides are precisely these short chains that send signals to the skin, prompting stem cells to activate the production of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid.
The result of these processes is a slowing of skin aging, as they stimulate the intensive renewal of key elements responsible for a youthful appearance.
Our AgeLess regenerating cream is enriched with a 3.2% peptide complex. Its composition includes a peptide matrix consisting of tripeptides Pal-GHK, tetrapeptides Pal GQPR, and the dipeptide carnosine. It has been scientifically proven that the peptides Pal-GHK and Pal GQPR stimulate the synthesis of collagen, elastin, hyaluronic acid, and fibronectin.
They contribute to the healing of damaged tissue and participate in the regeneration, reconstruction, and revitalization of the skin. They help prevent signs of aging and reduce existing wrinkles, leaving the skin firmer, smoother, and more elastic.
The dipeptide carnosine, also an active ingredient in the AgeLess cream, has long been associated with inhibiting cellular aging, promoting rejuvenating effects, and protecting against telomere shortening.
It has been scientifically confirmed that it can delay aging due to its pronounced antiglycation activity. Glycation is a process in which sugar molecules bind to skin proteins, forming rigid structures that cause elastic molecules to lose their essential properties and functionality.
This process leads to the formation of free radicals that damage collagen and elastin, ultimately resulting in the appearance of wrinkles.
The benefits of peptides are numerous and remarkable due to their ability to smooth wrinkles, firm sagging skin, and enhance hydration. Although highly potent on their own, they achieve their best results in synergy with other active ingredients, where their full efficacy comes to the forefront.
The combination of peptides, antioxidants, and hyaluronic acid enables the neutralization of the skin aging process, providing long-lasting and deep hydration—everything the skin needs for effective anti-aging care and the preservation of a youthful appearance.
