Most of us have heard of peptides, but what are they?

What peptides are and why they matter
Peptides are among the most powerful and interesting skin care ingredients being used in successful anti wrinkle products. But what are peptides? What do peptides do that other skin care ingredients don't do?
The purpose of this article is to give a general overview of the peptides being used in today's cosmetic and skin care formulations. Other pages on this site discuss the different types of peptides individually and in depth.
What are peptides?
Peptides are short chains of amino acids. Amino acids are the basic building blocks of proteins and many other different types of organic molecules. Peptides are frequently created by the digestion of proteins in the body, and many types of peptides are readily and rapidly absorbed by the bloodstream. For this reason, peptides are particularly effective as skin care ingredients.
Many peptides work as hormones, neurotransmitters and as natural pain relievers.
What do peptides do?
Different peptides have different effects. Peptides are a widely variable group of molecules, so speaking generally about the function of peptides is meaningless. Instead we will briefly discuss the function of four powerful peptides used in skin care products: acetyl hexapeptide-3, palmitoyl pentapeptide-3, palmitoyl oligopeptide and copper peptides.
