Peptides

Peptides are short chains of amino acids – the building blocks of proteins in skin. Peptides act as a messenger, which stabilises and transports compounds that are crucial to more youthful-looking skin.

Melanostatine™ 5 is a stable, biomimetic peptide derived from a natural substance in the body that produces melatonin, which is responsible for pigmentation in skin. The peptide acts as a melatonin inhibitor, blocking the synthesis of melanin, to help target pigmentation, reduce uneven skin tone, and promote a brighter complexion.

Sepilift™ DPHP is a concentrated active ingredient that helps to stimulate collagen and improve moisturisation, correcting deep wrinkles and signs of dehydration. It is an oil-soluble derivative of hydroxyproline, the primary amino acid in collagen, and plays a key role in collagen production and stability. The ingredient works as a ‘signal’ to the uppermost layers of skin to repair its supportive elements, leading to fewer visible lines and wrinkles.
