Peptides

Stimulate collagen production and enhance skin’s resilience with peptides, reducing the appearance of fine lines and improving firmness.

Expert Advice

Peptides are short chains of amino acids that act as messengers, signaling the skin’s cells to stimulate collagen and elastin production, reduce pigmentation, manage oil levels, and help calm inflammation. When paired with saccharides—complex sugars that support hydration and skin barrier function—these ingredients deliver complementary benefits that help improve skin texture, comfort, and resilience.

The Science Behind Peptides

Peptides play a crucial role in skin health by signaling cells to perform specific functions. With various types of peptides targeting different skin concerns, they are a versatile ingredient in skincare formulations. Optaderm incorporates peptides once the benefits have been proven in peer studies.

  • ✔ Signal Peptides like Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4 – Stimulate collagen and elastin production, helping to improve skin firmness and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
  • ✔ Carrier Peptides like Copper Tripeptide -1 – Deliver essential minerals like copper and magnesium to skin cells, aiding in wound healing, repairing damage, and boosting overall skin resilience.
  • ✔ Neurotransmitter-Inhibiting Peptides – Work by temporarily relaxing facial muscles to minimize the appearance of expression lines and wrinkles. An example being: One of these peptides, Acetyl Dipeptide-1 Cetyl Ester, offers anti-inflammatory benefits, helps calm redness and irritation.
  • ✔ Saccharides – Support moisture retention and reinforce the skin barrier, helping to maintain hydration and reduce visible signs of dryness, redness, and sensitivity. One example is Saccharide Isomerate, which continues to bind water even after rinsing, helping skin feel calm and hydrated longer.

By incorporating both peptides and saccharides into your skincare routine, you’re supporting your skin’s structure, hydration, and overall performance to help maintain a firm and radiant appearance.
