Peptide-Powered Skincare

What are Peptides in Skincare?

Peptides are the do-it-all essential in anti-aging skincare. Their small size allows them to penetrate the skin more effectively than larger proteins. When used properly, topical peptide formulas can be an effective strategy to improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and skin laxity by signalling the skin to repair itself and boost healthy collagen and elastin.

Plump

By supporting healthy collagen and elastin, peptides target fine lines and wrinkles to plump skin from the inside out

Firm

Collagen-enhancing peptides improve skin laxity and elasticity for a more lifted, firm, and youthful appearance

Refine

Healthy collagen and elastin contribute to improved texture on the skin’s surface, for smoother and softer skin

Condition

Peptides attract moisture to replenish hydration and condition skin

the science of Peptides in our skincare

Peptides are short chains of amino acids, also known as the building blocks of proteins. The most abundant protein in the body is collagen, which compromises 80% of our dermis – the middle layer of our skin. The natural production of collagen is largely responsible for maintaining a healthy, youthful appearance.

Watch below as Colorescience's Vice President of Research & Development Patricia Boland explains how high-potency peptide formulations help support healthy collagen and elastin production in your skin to maintain and boost youthful radiance.

Pep Up® Collagen Boost Face & Neck Serum

This has to be one of the best mascaras I’ve used. Mascara is so subjective, everyone wants different results and has different lash hair, just like the hair on our heads. What I love about this product is it easily builds a thick, extended lash that DOES NOT BUDGE! Have even fallen asleep with it on - still there and no raccoon eyes!
