Mary&May - PickyKeWe review for 6 Peptide Complex Serum

#skincarereview First things first: What are peptides and why would you want a serum like this in your routine? Peptides are amino acids that make up proteins. There are tons of different peptides in skincare: 🔍Signaling peptides work to stimulate new collagen and elastin production. 🔍Enzyme-inhibiting peptides block the enzymes that break down or degrade collagen. 🔍Carrier peptides deliver minerals to the skin that are essential for specific processes like cross-linking collagen and wound healing. 🔍Neurotransmitter-inhibiting peptides help to reduce wrinkle formation. 💜Why I‘ve been loving the 6 Peptide Complex Serum: This serum contains 6 (poly-)peptides from the different categories above to target signs of premature aging. Among others: Copper Tripeptide-1, one of my faves for wellaging: It’s a carrier of copper which is a critical component involved in the formation of enzymes/antioxidants that help with collagen production. In addition to humectants that bind water and help hydrate the skin, it contains Arginine and Adenosine. Arginine helps build skin collagen & hair keratin (that‘s why I‘m using this on my scalp as well) and Adenosine helps with regeneration and (wound) healing. This is a very focused and no-frills wellaging serum which is so lightweight that it can be used by any skintype (please adjust the rest of your routine accordingly). Free of fragrance, EOs and alcohol. It just needed a bit of consistent use, but then: glowing, firmer skin…
