What are peptides?

As chains of amino acids grow larger they become proteins

- Amino Acids are building blocks of protein

- Peptides serve as the building blocks for collagen, elastin fibers, keratin.

Peptides are chains of amino acids that mimic human protein fragments:

Dipeptide - two

Tripeptide - three

Hexapeptide - six

Nonapeptide - nine

Decapeptide – ten     

Oligopeptide - many

Polypeptide - many

What peptides are used in skincare?

 
Signal peptides
Designed to create a biological response 
- collagen production
- elastin formation
- other protein formation
 
Carrier peptides
Designed to carry necessary elements to affected sites 
- first cosmetically used carrier peptide was copper peptides in wound healing
 
 
Enzyme Inhibitor peptides
Work to slow down the skin’s natural breakdown of collagen 
- Silk peptides - antioxidant, anti-inflammatory 
- Rice peptides - antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, MMPi, potential melanogenesis inhibition 
- Soy peptides - potential photodamage protection, antioxidant 
 
Neurotransmitter peptides
Neuropeptides affect the release of neurotransmitters by the SNARE complex, thus inhibiting the brain from sending signals that encourage facial tension that result in expression lines.
 

Introducing ExLinea®️ Pro Peptide Serum 

pca skin pro peptide

 
An advanced targeted corrective serum, formulated with breakthrough technology for immediate and long-term reduction of visible lines, lifting, tightening, and firming the skin.
 
Introducing New Breakthrough technology Peptide-Pro Complex
Our proprietary technology features a blend of neuropeptides, proteins, amino acids, and marine extracts that work synergistically to promote the relaxation of muscle contractions, inhibiting the formation of facial expression lines. 
 
Benefits:
- Helps deliver an immediate and long-term reduction of visible expression lines caused by repeated muscle movement
- Helps lift, tighten, and firm skin for a younger-looking, more defined facial contour
- Reduces skin roughness for a smoother skin texture
- Boosts hydration and moisture retention
 
How to use it?

After cleansing and toning, smooth one to two pumps onto areas of wrinkling and laxity, concentrating on the lines around the eyes, forehead, and mouth. The product needs to be reapplied every 12 hours to maintain the full benefits. 

Do not apply to the whole face. Follow with PCA SKIN treatment serums and the appropriate PCA SKIN broad spectrum SPF product in the daytime and moisturiser in the evening.

The Results!
