We previously wrote about trending peptides, which are now seen in a lot of different cosmetic products. Suitable for many people, peptides help to firm and support the skin.
According to the expert, they are suitable for those who want simple but effective active ingredients in their skin care routine.

– Good and visible results can be obtained with peptides even with quick use, but the best effects are achieved with at least a month of continuous, active use 1-2 times a day, instructs the SKY cosmetologist and make-up artist Ville Äikäs In an interview with Tyyli.com.
THE FACTS
Peptides can be roughly divided into 4 different main groups:
- Signal peptides: used in Anti-Aging products to firm the skin, stimulate protein production and regeneration, as they send messages to skin cells.
- Neuropeptides: so-called “Botox-effect” products for smoothing out wrinkles that affect the transmission of nerve signals.
- Transport peptides: to enhance the effect of other ingredients and support skin regeneration by helping the active substances to travel deeper into the skin.
- Enzyme inhibitory peptides: for preventing signs of aging and protecting the skin.
Strong acids in home use can weaken the effect of peptides, Äikäs warns. Pictured is Sara Sampaio. Anthony Harvey/Shutterstock, AOP
