[Cosmetic Ingredients] Peptide - one of the introduction to anti-aging ingredients

"peptide" can be considered as a new term in the beauty field in recent years. If the same product contains peptides, the face will look good after wiping, and the price will look better.

(a) What is peptide?

According to the number of amino acids contained, it can be divided into two peptides (including two amino acids), tripeptide (including three amino acids), tetrapeptide, etc. Because of the different varieties of amino acids contained, there are theoretically different roles to meet the skin's needs for different functions:

(B) The mechanism of action of peptides The peptides were originally used by some European and American drug cosmetics directly in the product. Because peptides are expensive, peptide-added products are also expensive. The mechanism of action of peptides is similar to the mechanism of proteins and can promote the proliferation of collagen, elastic fibers and Hyaluronic Acid, increase the moisture content of skin, increase skin thickness and reduce fine lines. Following the recent fevers of five peptides and six peptides, Dikang peptide has also been widely used in Anti-Aging skin care products.

(C) the development trend of peptides The expensive price is bound to make merchants happy to use it in high-end skin care products online, resulting in higher profits. But botulinum such as pentapeptides can indeed temporarily block nerve transmission and thus reduce the appearance of fine lines.

In the near future, the concept of peptides will inevitably enter the broader beauty field, although many scholars still have incomparable doubts about the anti-aging effects of “peptides”, but in any case, this cannot stop the global women’s commitment to delay. Aging passion.
