Peptides (General) (Various) is primarily used for collagen/elastin stimulation, anti-aging, repair, hydration. The mechanism: Signal fibroblasts to produce ECM proteins; carrier peptides deliver minerals; enzyme-inhibitors stop collagen breakdown.
The scientific name is Various. Signal fibroblasts to produce ECM proteins; carrier peptides deliver minerals; enzyme-inhibitors stop collagen breakdown. This mechanism is consistent across properly formulated products, which means the real variable is concentration and delivery system.
Typical working concentration is 0.1–5% (signal peptides); higher for carriers. Best suited to mature, all skin types skin. Primary applications: collagen/elastin stimulation, anti-aging, repair, hydration.
Works well with: Vitamin C, niacinamide, hyaluronic acid. Avoid combining with: Strong acids may degrade; benzoyl peroxide.
Broad category: signal, carrier, neurotransmitter, enzyme-inhibitor peptide types.
