WHAT ARE PEPTIDES BENEFITS FOR SKINCARE?

Discover the Olay Peptide that is more valuable than gold, find out what Peptides are used for in skin care, and explore Olay’s Regenerist line-up to renew your skin’s natural glow!

    WHAT ARE PEPTIDES?

    In layman’s terms, Peptides are chains of amino acids that serve as the building blocks for proteins. Proteins play a vital role in almost all biological processes and make up 20% of the human body, including your skin, which is composed of around 75% collagen. Collagen is the most abundant protein in your body - it is crucial for your skin’s condition and firmness, and helps ensure that you’ve got that radiant, healthy-looking glow.

    WHAT ARE THE SKIN CARE BENEFITS OF PEPTIDES?

    Peptides are one of the most beloved ingredients in skin care – and for good reasons. Read on to find out exactly how Peptides help you retain the youthful look of your skin!

    1. REDUCES THE APPEARANCE OF FINE LINES AND WRINKLES

    Not all Peptides are created equal. In fact, some Peptides don’t naturally penetrate the skin very well, so we combined our Peptide with a palmitoyl group to aid penetration. The Peptide we use in Olay Regenerist is called palmitoyl pentapeptide-4. Multiple clinical studies have shown that it can significantly reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, resulting in smoother-looking skin.

    2. GENTLE ON THE SKIN

    Peptides are a gentle yet effective choice for all skin types and ages. Skin care products that contain this ingredient are a great choice for sensitive skin, as Peptides can be less irritating than some anti-ageing ingredients even on delicate areas, like the skin around the eyes.

    Peptides also work well with many other ingredients, without interfering or reducing the effects of either. When paired with another Peptide, the anti-ageing effects are boosted.

    HOW DO PEPTIDES WORK

    The reason for the widespread use of Peptides in skin care products is that, compared to collagen molecules, Peptides are actually small enough to penetrate the skin.

    Once they are past your epidermis layer, Peptides send a signal to your skin to start repairing itself by triggering a boost in collagen production, resulting in a healthier-looking complexion.
