Have you tried facial peptides yet? If not, it's time to start! Peptides are our main helpers in the fight for youth and beauty of the skin. These babies successfully fight both the first and already pronounced signs of aging. They also work great for prevention. Why are peptides needed, what do they do for the skin and at what age should you start using peptide cosmetics - read in this article.
Why we use peptides in our cosmetics
Peptides are little postmen-commanders. They transmit information from one cell to another and give them commands. With the help of peptides, we can control biological processes in the skin, including aging. The key components of the dermal matrix - collagen and elastin fibers - also consist of amino acids and are long peptides and proteins. With age, the synthesis of these key proteins slows down, the skin loses turgor, becomes flabby, and wrinkles and creases appear. We cannot stop time and completely block the natural aging of the skin. But we can greatly slow down the fading process, work on prevention and restore youth to the skin by adding cosmetics with peptides to our daily care. There are no strict restrictions on the use of peptide cosmetics. If necessary, according to indications, you can start using them as early as 20-25 years old. And from 28-30 years old, peptides are a must-have.
Alopecia
This is the official name for an unpleasant, but quite common phenomenon - baldness
. Of course, it manifests itself most often and most noticeably in men (who can go completely bald), but women also sometimes suffer from this problem, losing their beautiful hair and sadly observing the bald patches that form in the parting area.
If you have noticed the development of alopecia in yourself or your loved ones, and this order of things, forgive me for the tautology, is fundamentally not satisfactory to you, quickly make an appointment with a trichologist or cosmetologist, because in this case, delaying death is similar to (the death of the hair on your head , of course).
| KAZAKOV Sergey Pavlovich Cosmetologist Peptide therapy can only solve the problem of androgenetic alopecia (thinning of hair, leading in men to baldness of the parietal and frontal areas, in women - to thinning of hair in the central parting of the head, spreading to its lateral surfaces). The peptide is able to slow down the loss of existing hair; we cannot return those that have already fallen out with injections. It is worth noting that alopecia as a biological process in itself is not instantaneous: hair immediately falls out in large quantities only under stress, and then we observe alopecia areata or local alopecia. In the case of androgenic alopecia, the process lasts for years: the hair gradually weakens, the follicle loses its strength, rises to the surface, and the hair falls out, and the follicle itself dies and is replaced by connective tissue. We can act on hair that has already weakened, but whose follicles are still alive: this way we reduce the aggressiveness of dihydrotestosterone, inhibiting the same 5-alpha reductase, and save hair. There are also peptides that can strengthen the hair follicle itself. As we can see, the mechanism is quite simple. |
What do peptides do for the skin?
- Stabilize and support the processes of cell restoration and renewal.
- Maintains optimal rate of cell division.
- Stimulate fibroblasts and the synthesis of dermal matrix components (collagen, elastin, hyaluronic acid).
- Strengthens collagen and elastin fibers.
- Restores firmness and elasticity.
- Increases skin turgor and density.
- Tighten the oval of the face.
- Stimulate regeneration.
- Relaxes muscles.
- Smoothes out wrinkles, including facial wrinkles.
- They work to prevent premature skin aging.
- Strengthens the skin's antioxidant protection.
- Inhibits the inflammatory process.
- They heal.
- Strengthens lymphatic drainage, relieves swelling.
- Stimulate microcirculation.
- Reduces the manifestations of rosacea.
- Lighten pigmentation.
- Evens out complexion.
The properties of peptides - their ability to penetrate the skin, action and effectiveness - are determined by the sequence of amino acids in the chain. Little commanders have order everywhere - a specific peptide is responsible for each signal. Therefore, one product usually contains several peptides. The more functions a cream has, for example, the richer its filling and peptide composition will be.
SH-Oligopeptide-175
This biosynthetic polypeptide has the following effects:
- helps regulate metabolic and regeneration processes;
- forms connections with receptors on the surface of cell membranes;
- has a stimulating effect on the proliferation of epidermal cells, fibroblasts, as well as on the migration and proliferation of endothelial cells;
- promotes rapid tissue restoration after damage;
- reduces the risk of infection by exhibiting antimicrobial activity;
- reduces the risk of developing post-acne by reducing the growth of scar tissue;
- promotes the formation of new capillary channels, affecting microcirculation in the area of damage.
Types of peptides in cosmetics
Signal
. Stimulate dermal cells - fibroblasts. When the cell's life cycle ends, the peptides read this and instruct the cell to divide and begin a new cycle. Signal peptides instruct damaged cells to recover. Signal peptides trigger the synthesis of hyaluronic acid, collagen and elastin fibers, tighten the skin, restore turgor, and smooth out wrinkles. The most popular signal peptide is matrixyl. Examples of signal peptides: Matrixyl (Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4, Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-3), Matrixyl 3000 (Palmitoyl Oligopeptide / Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7 / Palmitoyl Hexapeptide), Matrixyl synthe'6 (Palmitoyl Tripeptide-38), SYN-COLL (Palmitoyl Tripeptide- 5), Syn Tacks (Palmitoyl Dipeptide-6).
Transport
. They deliver microelements (copper, magnesium) to the cells and stabilize them. Stimulate collagen synthesis, reduce wrinkles. Heal, restore. The most popular are copper peptides. Examples of transport peptides: Copper tripeptide (GHK tripeptide, Copper PCA), Manganese tripeptide-1.
Neurotransmitters
. Those same peptides “with the Botox effect”, muscle relaxants. Slow down muscle contractions, relax muscles, smooth the skin, prevent the appearance of wrinkles, creases and folds on the skin. The most popular is argireline. Examples of neurotransmitter peptides: Argireline (Acetyl Hexapeptide-3, Acetyl Hexapeptide-8), SYN-AKE (Dipeptide Diaminobutyroyl Benzylamide Diacetate), Inyline (Acetyl Hexapeptide-30), SNAP-8 (Acetyl Glutamyl Octapeptide-3), Leuphasyl (Pentapeptide -18).
Enzyme inhibitors
. Suppress the work of enzymes that destroy collagen, maintain the structure of collagen fibers. The most popular are rice, soy, and silk peptides. Examples of inhibitor peptides: Progeline (Trifluoroacetyl tripeptide-2), Trylagen (Tripeptide-10, Tripeptide-1), Dipeptide-2, Acetyl Tetrapeptide-5, Oligopeptide-20, Soybean peptide.
Features of Peptides cosmetic product lines
There are 5 levels of anti-aging cosmetics:
- Mesothels with a lifting effect for the face, body and scalp.
- Peptide creams designed to launch basic skin restoration processes.
- Peptide creams for all skin types, simultaneously containing 1–4 types of peptides.
- Anti-Age cosmetics for everyday home care.
- Products for prolonging the effect of cosmetic procedures.
The Revilab evolution and Reviline Pro lines are very popular. They contain peptides that suppress aging protein synthesis and stimulate collagen synthesis. Here are a few products suitable for daily use:
- Reviline peptide tonic pH balance. Restores the pH of the skin and prepares it for the application of other skin care products.
- Reviline peptide patches. They have a lifting effect and eliminate bags under the eyes.
- Reviline Pro Intensive cream with vascular peptides. Nourishes and moisturizes the skin. Can be used as a day and night cream.
After the first use of Peptides cosmetics, you will notice that your skin has become smooth and radiant. But in order for the effect to last as long as possible, you need to support the body from the inside - with drugs that contain peptides from various organs.
For example, if you have spider veins on your skin (rosacea), the effectiveness of treatment will increase if you take drugs that contain vascular peptides - Ventfort or Vesugen.

On the primacy of inflammation in acne61
In recent years, the opinion of researchers about the pathogenesis of acne has constantly changed. There is now compelling evidence that inflammation precedes an increase in the size of the sebaceous gland and the amount of sebum it produces.
Due to inflammation, the epidermal barrier is disrupted, hyperkeratosis develops, and sebum outflow becomes difficult. This leads to the formation of comedones, the formation of anaerobic conditions for increased colonization of propionibacteria.
Changes in the concept of acne have occurred due to microbiological and histological studies. They showed the appearance of neutrophils at the time of papules formation. Even with the formation of comedones in the skin, the level of CD3+ and CD4+ lymphocytes is increased, which indicate the activity of the immune system.
This enabled scientists to conclude that inflammation occurs at all stages of the formation of acne elements. If a pimple becomes inflamed, you need to make an appointment with a dermatologist.
