Peptides are small molecules that can penetrate the epidermis and influence the dermis, the deeper layer of skin. Their ability to stimulate biological processes makes them highly effective at producing rapid, visible improvements in skin appearance. Specifically, peptides help tighten, firm and hydrate the skin, making them increasingly popular in skincare for their multiple benefits.
These short chains of amino acids can penetrate the skin barrier and promote collagen and elastin production, which leads to firmer, more elastic skin while reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
When a peptide demonstrates proven benefits for the skin in laboratory testing, it is classified as an active peptide. The family of active peptides is extensive, with some showing dramatic results when applied topically. In one study, over 30% of participants saw immediate improvements in their skin after using peptides, with an additional 5% seeing improvement within several hours. Within two weeks, nearly 70% of users reported noticeable skin tightening and firming.

- Unique Properties:
- Algae peptides are derived from Hawaiian Sea algae and contain hydroxyproline, an amino acid rarely found in the skin outside of its own collagen, making them particularly effective in reinforcing the skin’s structure.
- The polysaccharide content helps retain moisture, making these peptides ideal for dry or dehydrated skin.
- Additionally, algae peptides possess antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, protecting against free radical damage and soothing sensitive or acne-prone skin.
- They may also help regulate melanin production, leading to a brighter, more even skin tone by reducing hyperpigmentation.
