What Do Peptides Do For Skin & Your Lips?
This is one of the hottest topics of conversation in beauty and wellness.
Leaving aside the question of ingestible peptides (which is a whole other topic), peptides in skincare products offer a lot of benefits. They’re popular because they work!
Chemically speaking, peptides are short-chain amino acids that act a little like “messengers” between cells. When these cellular signals have better communication, they function better. The cells make more collagen and elastin (which reduce wrinkles and sagging), they strengthen the skin’s protective barrier and keep it hydrated, and they aid in cellular repair where there’s damage or inflammation. Basically, they help skin cells act youthful, energetic, and potent—and that's why they're so critical for 40+ skin.
At Sarah Creal Beauty, we formulate for 40+ babes, and that’s why we’ve added peptides to so many of our products,” says Hannah Loff, Sr. Manager of Product Development. “They’re especially effective on the under eye area to help with signs of aging in the most delicate area of the face.”
Peptides are a critical ingredient in Firm Offer Eye Cream, which visibly enhances firmness and elasticity, improves texture, and softens the look of fine lines and wrinkles over time. We also packed our Moisture Source Brightening Essence with peptides to drench your skin in glowing, firming hydration for 24+ hours.
And don’t forget lips—our The Adults are Talking Lip Serum, No Further Questions Lip Gloss, and Lip Grip Line Filler are all packed with peptides to support collagen production for fuller-looking lips.
