Many Skincare Products Use Peptides to Correct the Signs of Aging. But What Are Peptides? And Do They Actually Work?
Peptides Signal Your Skin to Make More Collagen.
When we age, collagen is destroyed but not replaced. One strategy to improve wrinkles and to make you look younger is to replace lost collagen.
Applying peptides directly to your skin is a way to trick your skin into thinking that it has lost collagen recently and needs to make more. Here are some Pure Skin products with peptides:
