Face cream with peptides
In pursuit of young and healthy skin, all means are good. Women of age are ready for almost anything to keep the appearance of the face as it was years ago. For this reason, various medical facelift surgeries, as well as Botox injections, are very popular.
Not surprisingly, cosmetics with peptides, which can produce the same impressive effect, have become a kind of exclusive and have won the general interest of cosmetologists and women. Not so long ago, the possibility of a truly rejuvenating skin cream seemed like something fantastic, but now it has become a reality.
What it is
Peptide products, in particular the peptide face cream, are one of the most iconic developments in the cosmetic rejuvenation industry. The discovery of peptides has allowed modern manufacturers to develop such substances, the effectiveness of which can be compared with a full-fledged plastic surgery.
Before talking about the benefits of such cosmetics, it is worth mentioning separately what exactly peptides are and why they are so effective. Peptides are very simple organic compounds that are made up of just a few specific amino acids.. Due to the fact that they have such a simple structure, they are able to easily penetrate into the body, in particular into the skin, and affect the ongoing biological processes almost directly, correcting them as necessary.
The main difference between such a cream, when compared with similar non-peptide cosmetics, lies precisely in the depth of exposure.
While any other product takes care of the skin only on its surface layers, anti-aging cream with peptides penetrates into the very basis of the tissue. Due to this, peptides are able to regulate the processes taking place there, so all the healing effects are not only more pronounced, but also fixed for many years.
Useful features and functions
Molecules of special anti-aging compounds have a high permeability. During production, they are very often added to the fat base, due to which these processes are facilitated even more and produce a better effect.
When we talk about rejuvenation, this term implies far from a single process, but a whole complex that leads to such an unusual and impressive result. Peptides, which are the basis of the cream, have the following effects on the skin and body:
- Restores the normal balance of blood circulation;
- Moisturizes the dermis at deeper layers;
- Restores natural structure and elasticity, due to which wrinkles are smoothed out;
- Activates increased collagen production and fixes its balance. The natural healthy tone of the dermis is restored, the contours of the face are tightened;
- Increases cell nutrition. A more enhanced supply of oxygen is formed, the processes of oxidation and tissue breakdown slow down;
- Has an antioxidant effect. Protects the skin from the influence of external free radicals, and also helps to eliminate toxins;
- Strengthens the tissues of the walls of blood vessels and capillaries, reduces their fragility;
- Prevents possible reactions of inflammation and irritation;
- Activates enhanced cell division and reproduction, what can be considered as processes of regeneration and restoration of young skin;
- In addition, peptides are also substances-transporters. In other words, with their help, a number of other useful substances and microelements penetrate the skin, which are not able to do it on their own.
Types of peptides in the composition
Just as there are a wide variety of creams and other types of cosmetics with peptides, the peptides themselves also differ. They are the component that determines the properties of the anti-aging agent, and differ from each other in their internal composition, that is, in certain amino acids.
It should be noted that most of the peptides obtained in production consist of several chains of molecules. This allows you to create some combinations so that the tool has additional capabilities. However, the main peptides can be divided into several types:
- With botulinum action. The main active molecules of cosmetics have an effect that can be compared to an injection of botulinum toxin. They block the main receptors of facial muscles, due to which deep wrinkles are gradually eliminated, and the appearance of new folds is also prevented. This type includes copper compounds, peptides repeating the structure of snake venom, and even with gold particles.The main difference from the same injections is that in the case of the cream, the effect is achieved naturally and not due to partial paralysis of the facial muscles, which often results in an unpleasant "mask" effect;
- So-called anti-aging peptides, the action of which is to activate and enhance the processes of restoration of all layers of the skin. The effect is achieved through a complex of reactions. Microcirculation increases, toxins are removed, the penetration of essential trace elements and vitamins improves;
- With whitening effect. Skin rejuvenation occurs due to cleansing of excess pigments. Restoration of natural elasticity by enhancing the formation of collagen. A cream with such peptides is best suited in the early stages of wrinkle formation or to prevent their appearance. It is also the most effective remedy for fighting freckles;
- With decongestant and immunomodulating effect. It also promotes faster regeneration of new dermal cells. They fix all the necessary useful substances on the deep layers. Among such peptides, for example, compounds that have been derived from natural components of rice and soybeans are popular;
Cosmetic Features
Since peptides are a very unique component that is demanding on the basis of the product and the conditions of use, cosmetics containing them have some features:
- No cream consists of a single peptide variant. As a rule, to achieve effectiveness, it includes a large complex of molecules of a certain type, for example, anti-aging or whitening peptides;
- It can be seen that the proportion of peptides in such a cream is quite small, however, this is quite enough, since specially designed amino acids are very active;
- Such creams always have a fatty base. It is fat that facilitates the penetration of peptides into the deeper layers of the skin. Therefore, such cosmetics for oily and problem skin should be used with caution;
- Molecules quickly oxidize and break down in the product, so special stabilizers are added to them. For the same reason, cosmetics with peptides should be used within 2-4 months after the date of manufacture, and always stored in a cool place;
- The agent never affects the superficial layers of the dermis. Moreover, the stratum corneum prevents the penetration of peptides. Before applying the cream, it is best to use additional skin cleansing products;
- Peptide cream can be used by almost everyone. But still, the main indication for its use is the mature age of the skin, the loss of color and freshness, the tendency to wrinkle.
Recommendations for use
In order for the effect of the use of such cosmetics to be strong enough, it is necessary to adhere to some simple rules and recommendations:
- Since peptides do not last very long even in a special cream, always check the production time of the product. Remember that the active substances in it do not last longer than 4 months at best;
- Try to use various scrubs and peels as often as possible in order to remove the dead stratum corneum of the skin. It prevents the penetration of peptides, so it is recommended to cleanse the face even immediately before applying the cream;
- Remember that peptide cosmetics do not accumulate in the body. It works only for the duration of its application.Therefore, procedures should be as regular as possible;
- To achieve a greater effect, it is recommended to use complex cosmetics. For example, peptide-placental cream has become very popular.
