Peptides
There are numerous examples in physiology of peptide regulatory elements that play integral roles in basic homeostatic mechanisms such as injury-repair responses and other stimulus-response actions. Among these are well-known neuropeptides (e.g., bradykinins, endorphins); metabolism and fat storage regulators (e.g., neuropeptide Y, leptin, insulin); tanning and skin pigmentation-related peptides (e.g., α-MSH, ACTH, Agouti), and peptides involved in wound healing (e.g., FGF).
This large group of innovative cosmeceutical ingredients triumphed in the world of skincare products during the last two decades. Peptides are chains of amino acids that are attached in a specific order. Amino acids are naturally occurring in the body and are vital to everyday living processes. Peptides can be made up of 2 or more amino acids that can stimulate different responses within the body. As a result, peptides serve as tiny messengers that can be sent to kick the skin into gear and make it look better.
Peptides are leading a beauty revolution due to their excellent multi-functional properties; formularies are scrambling to access the latest advances in cosmetic peptide technology. In addition, their "Botox-like" performance, activation of collagen and elastin production, and skin-lightening effect make them very efficient against coarse wrinkles and hyperpigmentation of the skin.

Powered with triple-action lipopeptide Acetyl Dipeptide-1 Cetyl ester, Calmosensine™ leaves a significant anti-aging effect, boosting elastin production, mimic-muscle relaxation, and releasing precursor of endorphins (well-being hormones).
Capixyl is a bio-mimetic peptide with a red clover extract. It's an Hair Care Complex with anti-aging properties.
Caprooyl tetrapeptide-3 is a biomimetic lipopeptide structure based on TGF-ß (transforming growth factor beta) that plays an essential role in the natural production of the extracellular matrix components.
Sensitive skin is often defined by a propensity to sensory responses such as stinging, itching, burning, or visible reactions, such as erythema, papules or vesicles, wheal and flare responses, dryness, scaling, and desquamation, in response to external stimuli.
Carnosine is a dipeptide (ß-alanyl-L-histidine) found in the human body. The nature-identical "L" form L-Carnosine is a white odorless powder, soluble in water.
CroNoline™ is a specially formulated amino acid combination, which recreates growth factors found in youthful skin.
Formulated to regulate collagen fiber formation, Collagen Regulator Tetrapeptide binds to collagen fibrils to dramatically restore skin suppleness and enhance lift.
Copper Palmitoyl Heptapeptide-14 is a synthetic lipopeptide complex with copper, a core active ingredient in advanced complex X50® Anti-Aging.
Numerous skincare products based on copper-peptide complexes are increasingly finding clinical and cosmeceutical uses. The biological basis for these actions is GHK (Tripeptide-1), a peptide generated during tissue damage with a very high affinity for copper (Cu2+).
Copper Tripeptide-1 Palmitamide is a complex of copper with a synthetic lipopeptide, a modification of the famous GHK peptide (Tripeptide-1) in which terminal lysin's amino group is acylated with palmitic acid.
Crystalide™ is a peptide-based complex by Sederma with an illuminating effect from deeper skin layers to the surface. The concept of "Glass Skin" is a very popular trend in modern skincare applications and indicates translucent, hydrated, and luminous skin.
