Your Questions, Answered
Peptides are short chains of amino acids - the building blocks of proteins like collagen, elastin, and keratin - which are essential for your skin’s function, texture, and elasticity.
In skincare, peptides can trigger a 'signalling cascade' that boosts collagen and elastin production, helping to minimise fine lines and wrinkles while supporting a firmer, smoother complexion.
You shouldn’t mix peptides with AHAs or BHAs - such as glycolic or salicylic acid - as these acids can break down peptide bonds and reduce their effectiveness. While peptides and retinol are safe to use together, retinol’s efficacy may also be affected, so it’s best to separate them by using peptides in the morning and retinol at night. Otherwise, peptides pair well with vitamin C, hyaluronic acid, and niacinamide.
If you’re looking to smooth fine lines and restore some bounce to your complexion, Naturium’s Multi-Peptide Moisturiser will be perfect for you. However, if you’re looking for a more advanced formula to target deep-set wrinkles and expression lines, Medik8’s Liquid Peptides Advanced MP is your best bet.
