Top benefits of peptides in anti-ageing creams Peptides are the building blocks for protein. In regards to the skin, these proteins make up a large proportion of your bodys tissues and without them your body couldn’t form or produce collagen. In one clinical study among many others, 97% of participants reported a positive change in their skin after using skin creams containing peptides. This included an improvement in fine lines and a visibly better skin texture (insert reference).
So how can products containing peptides help with anti-ageing? As you age, your body produces less collagen, which is why fine lines and other signs of ageing develop. Products such as wrinkle lifting eye creams, which contain copper peptide can aid the production of collagen and elastin. Copper peptides have also been proven to remove dead collagen and elastin from the skin, making your eyes appear less tired and more youthful. Rather than rubbing the cream into the skin, it is better to gently pat it as the eye area is very delicate. If you use a product that also contains vitamin A, this will work alongside the copper peptide to rejuvenate your complexion.
