This is an automatic translation

Peptides are short sequences of amino acids considered by cosmetics to be great anti-aging allies of the skin. Hexapeptides are peptides formed by a sequence of 6 amino acids linked together in a linear chain. The very small number of amino acids that make up the hexapeptide allows it to penetrate the skin, bind to epidermal cell receptors and stimulate some of their activities such as collagen synthesis.

The Hexapeptide present in the Peptide Complex pure Active has specific characteristics which make it capable of:

  • increase the tone and elasticity of the skin
  • counteract normal skin sagging
  • improve hydration of the stratum corneum
  • counteract cellular oxidation
  • even out the skin and give brightness
  • reduce the appearance of redness and brown spots

Unlike many peptides used in cosmetics which are synthetic in nature, the Hexapeptide present in Peptidi Complex is of natural origin and comes from yeast fermentation.
