WHen signs of aging start to set in, it’s hard to reverse them.
A popular skin care ingredient known to help improve the signs of aging on the skin is the peptide.
If you haven’t heard of it, don’t worry, we’re here to explain everything you need to know about this ingredient. Read on to learn what peptides are and how you can incorporate them into yours skin care routine!
What are peptides?
Peptides are short chains of amino acids, which are the main building blocks of protein in our bodies. These chains provide anti-aging support and play a key role in the appearance of our skin.
There are several types of peptides and each of them offers a unique and specific benefit for targeted skin solution. For example, carrier peptides can help heal wounds, and signaling peptides can stimulate the body to produce more collagen and elastin.
Benefits of peptides
Peptides provide a number of benefits for your skin. From anti-aging benefits to improving the overall health of your skin, here are some of the benefits we love the most:
1. Improve fine lines and wrinkles
Signs of aging such as wrinkles and fine lines are difficult to treat. The peptides work by stimulating your skin to produce more collagen and elastin fibers. This in turn helps improve signs of aging such as sagging skin, fine lines and wrinkles around your eye area.
2. Improve skin barrier
Topical application of peptides has been shown to be a way to help improve your skin barrier. Peptides have moisturizing properties that can increase the skin’s hydration level, which plays a huge role in improving the skin barrier. A stronger skin barrier helps protect your skin from external aggressors and can retain moisture better. This will help you achieve a healthier skin glow!
3. Soothes the skin
Peptides are known to be gentler options in antiaging skin care. They contain antioxidants and can help soften your skin. The anti-inflammatory properties of the peptides also help reduce redness and calm the skin during inflammation.
How should I incorporate peptides into my skincare routine?
One simple rule to remember – always choose peptide products! Peptides work best through topical application. By using leave-on peptide products, there is enough time for the molecules to be absorbed by the skin for maximum results.
While peptide cleansers are good options, the amount of time the cleanser is left on your skin may be too short for the peptides to penetrate the skin barrier. Standby products like toners, creams and serums allow your skin more time to absorb the peptides into your skin barrier as much as possible.
After cleansing and exfoliating, apply your peptide product to your skin and allow it some time to absorb into the skin before continuing with other steps of your skin care. This will ensure that your skin is clean and able to absorb the nutrients that the ingredient can provide.
Suggestion!
Use products containing peptides alongside your usual ones essential for skin care such as moisturizers, eye creams and serums to enhance their antiaging action. This helps speed up their abilities and increase their skin-restoring benefits. Look forward to fewer fine lines and an improved skin barrier!
Age Arrest A3 Duo
Formulated with E-factor peptide, Conception age A3 aims to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Using this growth factor-mimicking peptide also increases skin elasticity for youthful looking skin. With consistent and prolonged use, you will see younger and firmer skin!
We freeze-dried the peptide in a tablet to keep it fresh until ready to use. This maintains the effectiveness and concentration of the product for optimal results and a fresh and accurate dose is also guaranteed.
The lyophilized tablet is best activated with AR Essence A3. Using AR Essence A3 to dissolve the tablet forms a unique molecular structure – helical structures, which protect the peptide while optimizing its absorption into the skin. With the combined benefits of these two products, it’s the perfect skincare duo to add to the routine of anyone looking to fight the signs of aging on their skin.
Suggestion!
We recommend using Age Arrest A3 at night for optimal results. While we sleep, our skin works harder to rebuild the skin and undergo recovery processes to repair any damage caused during the day. These two products work hand-in-hand to help you achieve younger, firmer and younger-looking skin. Read more about our favorite anti-aging duo here!
