Peptide Creams

What are peptide creams? The dictionary definition of a peptide is"any of various natural or synthetic compounds containing two or more amino acids linked by the carboxyl group of one amino acid to the amino group of another". Peptides are like protein molecules, except smaller and stimulate collagen production. There are four different types of peptides used for anti-aging peptide creams, and the most commonly used one is copper peptides.

Why Use Peptide Creams?

Peptides stimulate the skin to produce collagen. As we age, our skin produces less collagen, which makes wrinkles and lines appear and the skin looks and feels less hydrated. Although the skin is still able to produce collagen, it is no longer "willing to". Copper Peptides stimulate the skin to produce more collagen and also improve the skin's anti-oxidant defenses by activating a protein that will de-toxify free radicals.

Copper peptides are used because of their ability to reach the deeper layers of skin and have wound healing abilities. Copper Peptide creams are known to trigger the skin's natural renewal mechanisms. As a result, copper peptides rebuild the skin's protective barrier, activates the skin's main antioxidant protein, rebuild micro-circulation, and increase collagen and elastin in the skin (more so than Vitamin C).

Finding the Right Peptide Creams

Skin Deep Cosmeceuticals offer copper peptide skin creams and serums that are paraben free skin care products that also contain Vitamins A and K.
