Peptides in Skin Care Products

By S.G. Hutton

Skin Care Product Ingredients today include some of the most effective technology for anti aging and skin rejuvenation. Some of our specialists favorite ingredients include, but are not limited to: glycolic acid, vitamin c (stabilized), hyaluronic acid and now, peptides!

Why Peptides? As we age, environmental factors, hormones, sun damage etc. cause our skin to produce less collagen and elastin. It is collagen that supports the structure of our skin making it firm and resilient. Glycolic acid has the ability to stimulate collagen but must be carefully selected in skin care products (often buffered down so much it is ineffective) but higher ph products such as Jan Marini bioclear cream and bioglycolic eye cream are highly effective due to the combination of high percentage ingredients.

The recent development of Peptides (fragments of proteins) further enhance the ability to stimulate collagen, allowing us to offset many of the signs of aging.

There are many types of peptides (some more effective then others) and finding it at the bottom of your skin care ingredient list, likely means the product contains such a minimal amount. However, the other ingredients may have benefits to address skin rejuvenation so don't let that deter you unless you are looking for a fairly concentrated product. As clinical skin specialists we research and personally use all ingredients based on our clients needs and expectations to be sure to provide them with products that produce results.

We have supplies a list of some different peptides and how they vary:

Tetra and Pentapeptides-(favorites) stimulate collagen to plump and firm the outermost layer of the skin. Relax facial muscles that contribute to expression lines and furrows. Examples: Rated *Favorites- Jan Marini Age Interv. Regeneration Booster, Dr. Schrammek High Perfection Eye Cream, Dermaquest Peptide Mobilizer.

Hexapeptides-Relax wrinkles to calm muscle contractions that contribute to our facial expressions that result as deep furrows and wrinkles.

Tripeptide- (SynAke Trademark)-Also relaxes facial muscles to offset facial expression lines/wrinkles.

Copper Peptides- Healing and repairing peptides to active the skins healing abilities while stimulating collagen. Ex: (Neova Creme de la Copper & most Neova products).

Many refer to Peptides as "Botox without the Pain". Botox is a relatively quick result to minimize lines and wrinkles, that is not always without side effects, bruising etc. Peptides are a non invasive alternative by which the results are cumulative and continue to improve skin over time. Jan Marini Regeneration Booster also contains Telomerase Enzyme. A unique anti aging ingredient that further compliments peptides and resets the cells "aging clocks".

Anti Aging Skin Treatment: Collagen and Peptides

By Hector Milla

There are important factors to consider, if you want a successful anti aging skin care treatment. Unhealthy life style like smoking and overindulging or the simple passage of time lead to wrinkles and damaged skin.

Protecting your skin from outside factors by wearing sunscreen and developing a healthier lifestyle can helps, but time marches on no matter what you do. Consequently, whatever anti aging technique or strategy you use must suit your own skin issues, choosing the one that best address your own skin rejuvenation necessities.

If your skin stops producing collagen, this contributes to skin strength and elasticity. Degradation of skin leads to wrinkles that accompany aging. Though many skin care products tout the fact that they contain collagen, the fact is that collagen is too large to be assimilated directly through the skin.

Collagen is a fibrous protein occurring in bone, cartilage and connective tissue. It's a major structural protein, forming molecular cables that strengthen the tendons and vast, resilient sheets that support the skin and internal organs. Each cell of our body has collagen. Collagen acts as the crucial support structure in tissues around which cells live and function. For example, bones and teeth are made by adding mineral crystals to collagen.

However, collagen production can be stimulated by peptides, chains of amino acids that are found naturally in the body. Stimulation by peptides makes it possible to slow down the effects of aging and diminish facial wrinkles. That is why skin care products that contain peptides are the most effective anti-aging skin care treatments.

Peptides are simple proteins made up of only a few amino acids and they are often no more than digested proteins and most of them can be absorbed directly into the bloodstream without digestion or breakdown into individual amino acids. In the most of the cases peptides work as neurotransmitters and as natural pain relieving substances in the brain.

The peptides used as skin care ingredients in wrinkle creams have communication properties and help acting as messengers at the cellular level. As messengers, these peptides can send signals that help stimulate the synthesis of collagen. It is because of collagen production stimulation that the use of peptides is considered one of the most effective anti aging treatment.

Last researches show that collagen peptides can increase synthesis of collagen by fibroblasts by 350 %. The peptides also stimulated the syntheses of Hyaluronic acid, a key ingredient in the connective tissue and hydration of the skin, by 146 %.
