Cosmetics with peptides: TOP best manufacturers and creams, serums, masks, products from the pharmacy

Cosmetics with peptides have a beneficial effect on the deep layers of the skin, delivery of nutritional components to the dermis, and improvement of biological processes occurring in cells. The substances are contained in creams, preparations for mesotherapy and biorevitalization. Cosmetics should be selected in accordance with age and problems, because peptides not only rejuvenate, but also erase hyperpigmentation and relieve inflammation.

The most well-known products with them are creams and serums from Evalar, Mizon, Secret Key, The Ordinary, Vitex-Belita. It is best to use them in courses and alternate.

How do peptides work in cosmetology?

Peptides are used in cosmetology due to the following properties of these particles:

the ability to restore blood circulation and oxygen supply to the skin;
normalization of the moisture level of the dermis;
increased production of collagen and elastin;
delivery of nutritional components of care products to the deep layers of the skin;
counteracting the aging process;
neutralization of the effects of toxins on the dermis;
restoration of the process of skin cell division characteristic of youth.

Synthetic peptides found in creams are particles of alpha amino acids that have the ability to penetrate deep enough into tissues. They are used as transport to deliver nutritional components missing to the skin.

Types of peptide creams

Typically, creams contain several types of peptides and work comprehensively. They are divided into the following types:

Variety	Action of the cream
Anti-aging	This rejuvenating cream stimulates the body's production of collagen and elastin, enhances blood microcirculation, smoothes wrinkles and prevents the appearance of new ones.
Botulinum-like	Works like botulinum toxin injections. Contains peptides that block the functions of facial expression receptors, due to which already visible wrinkles are reduced and new ones do not appear. This cream has the effect of Botox, but does not paralyze the facial muscles.
Immunomodulatory	Enhances the process of natural cell regeneration, restores damaged areas, and is able to deliver active nutritional components deep into the skin.
Bleaching	Designed to lighten pigmented areas of the skin.

Creams with peptides are recommended for use after the age of 30 . Ideal for dry and flaky skin, they are made on an oily basis, since it is fat cells that increase the rate of penetration of peptides into the deeper layers of the dermis.

The benefits and harms of peptides

Peptides for aging skin are beneficial, but in some cases they are also harmful. The benefits of exposure to these substances are as follows:

the process of cell division accelerates, that is, the skin rejuvenates;
it receives more nutrients, which also promotes regeneration and increased elasticity;
the protective properties of the epidermis are enhanced, it reacts less to negative influences from the inside and outside;
a noticeable cosmetic effect appears, that is, increased skin elasticity, disappearance of acne, irritation and greasy shine, improved color, disappearance of bruises around the eyes, fine wrinkles, swelling and spots.

It is difficult to harm cosmetics with peptides, but a negative reaction can still occur:

If a woman is allergic to any of these substances. They are used with auxiliary components; they themselves are artificially created.
If you have diseases: diabetes, tumors, infections, dermatological problems, rheumatoid arthritis. Peptides, due to their active action, can provoke an exacerbation.

Some women complain about the lack of effect from cosmetics. But this may mean that it is too early for them to use such products, since the skin itself copes with recovery.

We recommend reading about the benefits of using peptides in injections for facial skin. From the article you will learn about the mechanism of action of peptides, use for mesotherapy, before and after results, the best drugs. And here is more information about how to choose a cream for mature skin.

What do peptides contain?

Peptides can be contained in external products (creams, masks, serums for the face, eyelids), injectable preparations and capsules, powders for oral administration. The first ones are used in normal daily care, but it takes several weeks to get the effect.

Preparations for injection are used during mesotherapy or biorevitalization. They provide the expected result faster and more pronounced. But the procedures are accompanied by side effects: redness of the skin, papules.

Peptide complex - what is it?

A peptide complex is a set of particles of different alpha amino acids, the action of which not only does not contradict each other, but also gives a more noticeable effect than when using each component separately. Each of them differs in composition and type of effect on the skin.

For example, clotorphine stimulates collagen production, which provides a lifting effect. Argireline works to relieve muscle spasm, that is, smoothes out wrinkles. Rigin relieves inflammation, melanostatin-5TM eliminates hyperpigmentation.

Several peptides are almost always used in cosmetic products. But the packaging must bear the designation “peptide complex” or IPH.

How to use it correctly

Cosmetics of this kind are not considered medicinal, and peptides, despite their effectiveness, are not biologically active substances in the full sense of the word. That is, there are no restrictions on use - in courses, at certain intervals, there are no.

The cream, of course, includes not only peptides. However, additional ingredients are rarely active. Rather, these are substances that allow the product to be used by owners of different skin types. So, for oily skin, it is worth choosing a product with the lightest possible structure, and for dry skin, an option containing oils like olive or grape.

Recommendations for using cream with peptides are extremely simple:

Peptides do not accumulate in the dermis layer, so a visible effect is possible only with regular use. As a rule, the cream is applied twice a day.
To enhance the effect of the composition, you should resort to scrubs and peels as often as possible: they free the skin from dead horny scales. The fact is that the particles ready to peel off change their arrangement, and, therefore, prevent the penetration of peptides, since they block the gaps between the scales.

Find out which scrubs are best for oily faces in this material.

You need to check the expiration date. When opened, the product produces an effect only for 2–4 months.
For better care, especially for dry skin, it is recommended to use combined cosmetics, such as peptide-placental cream.

Peptide-placental cream average cost is 350 rubles.

Peptides do not cause allergies, but other components may be allergens. A skin test is necessary.

The list of anti-aging peptides used in professional cosmetics is constantly growing, but now in most formulations it is not difficult to find:

Argireline . This is a muscle relaxant substance that exists to relax muscles, erase wrinkles and prevent the formation of new folds. Argireline is a weaker alternative to Botox, used only for injections. It is the basis of Exclusive Jour creams from Lierac, Youth Restore Day Cream from Jeffrey James Botanicals, Predermine serum from Darphin, and Defi Lift 3D Eye Counter Lift eyelid emulsion from Gatineau.
Matrixyl . It consists of 5 amino acids and a fatty acid, penetrates deeply, stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, that is, it tightens the skin and evens it out. Matrixyl is contained in Anti-wrinkle facial cream from Dr.Sea, Aguamax Rich Firming Gel Cream from Limoni, Nasolabial Fold+ Multi-Peptide Cream from Reviva Labs, Age Control Rebuilding gel from Holy Land.
Acetyl octapeptide . Reduces the depth of wrinkles, as it consists of 8 amino acids and works like argireline. It is found in Elizabeth Arden Ceramide Lift and Firm Day Cream for the face and Asdm Beverly Hills Age Reversing Eye Cream for the eyelids.
Hexapeptides 9 and 11 . Substances enhance collagen synthesis, brighten, and improve skin texture. The first is in the “Firming Night Cream” from Dr.Sea, “Skin-Structure Serum” from Filorga, the second is in the “Ultrasmoothing Eye serum” from Dermalogica, “Quercetin & Oak Antiaging Antiwrinkle & Firming Face Serum” from Korres.

Top brands

The best brands producing cosmetics with peptides:

Reviline pro is based on the production of premium creams. The products contain synthetic peptides, as well as natural herbal ingredients, which attracts a number of buyers.
Revilab is a brand that produces cosmetics aimed at skin rejuvenation. The line contains not only peptides, but also hyaluronic acid. All products are certified.

La Miso - this brand produces skin, hair and oral care products. The main laboratory is located in Korea and 2 more research centers in Germany and Japan. The products are of high quality.
Coxir is a Korean brand of caring cosmetics. Each line contains a maximum of herbal ingredients, which is why most buyers prefer this brand.

Peptides for skin: oligopeptides, biomimetic

Among the peptides used for skin rejuvenation, the following deserve special attention:

Oligopeptides , considered by cosmetics specialists to be an “elixir for old age.” They contain up to 20 amino acids, so the substances increase the level of moisture in the thickness of the skin and accelerate the process of formation of new cells of the collagen layer. This makes it more elastic and fine wrinkles disappear.

The most famous component of this group is palmitol oligopeptide. Based on it, “Sleep and Peel Resurfacing night cream” from Filorga (for the face), “Idealist” from Estee Lauder (for eyelids), “Predermine” from Darphin (serum), “Lisse Minute” from Clarins (con from Planeta Organica) were created , collagen cream from Librederm.

Biomimetic peptides , which first appeared in South Korean cosmetology, there are more than 70 in total. These substances are introduced mainly into preparations for mesotherapy and biorevitalization, for example, DERMAHEAL, REVOFIL, AQUASHINE. Biomimetic peptides stimulate an increase in moisture levels, the growth of collagen and elastin cells, suppress the formation of components that reduce the volume of hyaluronic acid, and brighten the skin.

Peptides or hyaluronic acid - which is better?

Which is better, peptides or hyaluronic acid, needs to be decided depending on the problems and age. Dehydration is a common cause of premature skin aging for young women, and in this case, formulations with “hyaluronic acid” are sufficient. Peptides up to 30 years may be needed for inflammation, uneven complexion, and pigmentation.

And at a more mature age it is better to use cosmetics with them. If hyaluronic acid only increases the level of moisture in the dermis, then peptides affect the biological processes in it. Thanks to the active substances, young cells are formed faster and in greater volume. This gives rejuvenation.

Peptide injections - is it worth it?

If you are a fan of cosmetic procedures and want an instant effect. Then mesotherapy and biorevitalization are suitable for you. Peptide molecules are divided into several types, depending on what kind of result you expect.

Skin restoration. Recommended at the age of 30-35, when the skin has just begun to lose its elasticity. Decapeptide-5 and thioredoxin are administered. After the procedure, skin tone improves, elasticity appears, pores narrow and fine wrinkles smooth out.
Botox effect. Cosmetologists recommend injections of peptides argireline, acetyl octapeptide-3 at the age of 40 years. Nanomolecules reduce the mobility of facial muscles, resulting in a reduction in the number of wrinkles.
From pigment spots. Peptides are also administered to get rid of freckles and age spots. Melanostatin-5TM and pentapeptide-13 work in this procedure. The molecules reduce the intensity of melanin secretion.
To restore immunity. After plastic surgery, it is recommended to inject peptides several months later to restore the protective ability of the skin and relieve swelling.

Achieving the best result is guaranteed after 3-4 procedures with an interval of 10-14 days. After each injection you will not have to recover for a long time; the very next day your facial skin will be transformed.

I am 44 years old and did mesotherapy with peptides (two years ago I did it with hyaluronic acid, but there was no result at all). Now I followed the instructions of my cosmetologist, the doctor convinced me that my wrinkles were quite deep, so I needed to carry out mesotherapy with peptides - 4 procedures. There is a break of 10 days between procedures. After the first injection, the skin became lighter and tightened. I couldn’t touch it for exactly 24 hours; there was no pain or swelling. In 4 procedures, wrinkles on the forehead were smoothed out, and nasolabial folds became less noticeable. All this beauty cost me 15 thousand rubles. Next year I will repeat the course, there will be a 10% discount. Little things, but nice!
Galina, 44 years old, Krasnodar

The procedures cannot be performed during pregnancy, lactation, diabetes, dermatological diseases and allergies.

Mesotherapy - administering a peptide cocktail costs from 3 thousand rubles per procedure.
Biorevitalization - from 7 thousand rubles per procedure, depending on the volume of the substance administered.

Peptide injections are safer than botulinum toxin injections, but can also cause autoimmune complications such as rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, psoriasis and oncology. Currently, such cases have not been registered, but the risk is still present. Therefore, it is better to undergo a complete diagnosis of the body before cosmetic injections.

Peptides in a pharmacy for skin

Skin peptides can be purchased as vitamin supplements at the pharmacy:

California Gold Nutrition, capsules with collagen, hyaluronic acid and vitamin C;
Jarrow Formulas with tryptophan;
"Zhou Nutrition" with collagen and hydrolyzed protein;
Now Foods also contains collagen.

Belweder lip lift

Don't forget that the delicate skin around your lips also needs to be taken care of! The lipstick is recommended for deep hydration, getting rid of small wrinkles above the upper lip, dryness and flaking. It has a pleasant coconut scent and envelops the lips with a weightless veil.

Limantes alba oil, moringa oil, isoamyl cocoate, beeswax, purslane extract, sucrose cocoate, tocopheryl acetate, C10-18 triglycerides. The composition is very good for a hygienic lipstick, you should definitely use it.

Cosmetics with peptides: is it worth using?

Whether it is worth using cosmetics with peptides in a particular case must be decided after consulting a specialist. Up to 30 years of age, in the absence of serious problems, you can do without it, using cleansing compositions and moisturizing creams, masks. But if at this and younger ages there are age spots, inflammation, severe dryness, products with peptides will solve them faster and better than ordinary cosmetics, even expensive ones.

It is advisable to use them after 35 years. Peptides will not only improve the appearance of the skin, they will slow down and reverse age-related changes in its cells, delaying the appearance of more noticeable signs of aging. And after 40 years, it is advisable to inject drugs with these substances. The result will be rapid hydration and strengthening of the skin, lifting, and smoothing of wrinkles. You can supplement your care with creams with active ingredients, and all this will make you look younger for a long time.

We recommend reading about the use of stem cells in cosmetics. From the article you will learn about what plant stem cells are, the reasons for their use in cosmetology, the benefits and harms of cosmetics with stem cells. And here is more information about niacinamide in cosmetics.

External products with peptides, like injection procedures, cannot replace plastic surgery. But their use gives a very noticeable effect if the substances are selected in accordance with skin problems. And these won’t necessarily be the most expensive peptide serums and creams.

Features of the use of peptide creams

Peptide creams cannot be used to cover the entire face. The line of peptide products includes separate creams or serums for the eyelids, as well as facial products.

Rules of application:

There are products that are acceptable for use from the age of 25, 30, 35 years and older.
The shelf life of such products is on average 3–4 months; they must be kept in the refrigerator.
In parallel with peptide creams, scrubs or peels are used, since the stratum corneum of the epidermis prevents the penetration of active substances and reduces effectiveness.
Peptides do not accumulate in the thickness of the skin and do not have a prolonged effect. They are effective only during the period of use; after stopping use, a withdrawal effect may occur.
Peptides are not a panacea for oily skin, acne and other problems. Therefore, it is recommended to use peptide cosmetics in combination with therapeutic agents selected taking into account the problems.
Products containing peptides are made on a fat base. Therefore, for problematic skin with inflammation, rashes, and oily skin, they should be used at night and regularly cleanse clogged pores.

Although peptide cosmetics promise to tighten the skin and improve the shape of the face, their effects cannot be compared with Botox injections and plastic surgery. They provide an effect only against expression lines and first age wrinkles at the age of 25+ years. But unlike Botox, they have no side effects.
