Peptides are short chains of amino acids—the fundamental building blocks of proteins such as collagen, elastin, and keratin. In dermatology, peptides are used to mimic natural signaling molecules, stimulate cellular communication, and repair the skin matrix.

When applied topically, specific peptides can help promote collagen synthesis, inhibit muscle contraction (mimicking Botox-like effects), improve hydration, and strengthen the skin barrier. Many peptides, like Argireline (also known as Acetyl Hexapeptide-8), help support skin’s natural collagen, improve firmness, and smooth the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Peptides can help strengthen skin’s natural structure, supporting skin’s elasticity and bounce for a firmer, more lifted look over time.

Formulated with peptides, including argireline, these favorites help firm, smooth and rejuvenate the look of skin:
