New developments in maintenance female beauty and youth appear annually - now cosmetics with gold, then with silver ions, and now with peptides. Do not dare to botulinum toxin injections, try safe methods prevent aging. Are cosmetics with peptides as effective as manufacturers promise? We will find out based on numerous reviews and a detailed analysis of the composition cosmetics. Ready for the effect of Botox without expensive injections?

What are peptides?

Molecules of α-amino acids are called peptides, they are necessary for the process of cell regeneration, and also protect the body from the action of toxins and free radicals. Every person has peptides, but with age they become less, therefore, the metabolic processes of cells are inhibited - tissues lose strength and elasticity. Modernity has learned how to solve the problem of peptide deficiency, experts derive synthetic molecules in laboratories that are identical to human ones.

Numerous studies in Europe and Asia confirm unique action peptides. Therefore, molecules began to be added to cosmetic products.

Unlike conventional creams

Peptide cosmetics 10 times more effective than conventional creams with collagen and elastin, because these protein compounds are too large and are not able to penetrate deep into the dermis. And peptides are nanoparticles that can penetrate cells and stimulate regeneration. Such cosmetics are undoubtedly more expensive due to the complexity of production, but the result is guaranteed from the course of use.

How do they act?

• Restoration of microcirculation of oxygen and blood circulation.
• Normalization of the water balance of the epidermis.
• Stimulation of the natural production of collagen, elastin and keratin.
• Improving the penetration of nutrients (vitamins and minerals) deep into the cells.
• Protective action of the epidermis against toxins and free radicals.
• Activation of cell division and self-healing.
• Peptides are transport molecules that distribute beneficial substances throughout the body.
• Restoring the skin matrix, increasing elasticity.

Nanomolecules have a multi-profile action, bringing maximum benefit to the mature epidermis. Peptides are added to anti-aging serums, day and night creams, and masks of increased action. The main thing is that, along with peptides, there should be no parabens in the composition, which only worsen the penetration of molecules - I will leave a list of allowed cosmetics with peptides for you at the end of the article.

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 result you expect.

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

Achievement of the best result is guaranteed after 3-4 procedures with an interval of 10-14 days. After each injection, you do not have to recover for a long time, the next day the skin of the face is transformed.

I am 44 years old, I did mesotherapy with peptides (two years ago I did hyaluronic acid, but there was no result at all). Now I followed the instructions of my cosmetologist, the doctor convinced me that my wrinkles are quite deep, so I need to carry out mesotherapy with peptides - 4 procedures. There is a 10 day break between treatments. Already after the first injection, the skin brightened, tightened. Exactly one day it was impossible to touch it, there was no pain and swelling. For 4 procedures, wrinkles on the forehead were smoothed out, and nasolabial folds became less noticeable. All this charm cost me 15 thousand rubles. IN next year I will repeat the course, there will already be a 10% discount. Little things, but nice!

Galina, 44 years old, Krasnodar

It is impossible to carry out procedures during pregnancy, during lactation, with diabetes, dermatological diseases and allergies.

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

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

A completely safe option for improving skin condition is cosmetics with peptides. The effect will not be so bright, but nanomolecules will definitely reduce the depth of wrinkles, make the face fresher and younger. I was asked to test some creams, serums, gels with peptides for effectiveness. I bring with peptides - which products are better to use, and which ones to avoid!

Peptides in cosmetology are designed to preserve youth and improve skin condition. And if you are interested in learning more about: “Peptides - what are they?”, Then we advise you to continue reading the article - a lot of interesting information is written about them below.

What it is?

Peptides are a group of substances in which molecules consist of α-amino acids connected by peptide bonds. In the human body, they are engaged in the regulation of physiological processes.

With age, the body loses the ability to quickly synthesize polypeptides. Scientists have found a way to obtain these substances in a chemical laboratory.

After experts found out that peptin is able to penetrate deep into the epidermis and regenerate it from the inside, the substances began to be actively used in cosmetology and cosmetics.

Mechanism of action

Peptides regulate the natural rate of cell division, that is, make the physiological functions of the dermis and epidermis work normally.

Functions of peptides in the skin:

• Stimulation of collagen production.
• Protection of existing collagen.
• Synthesis of superoxide dimismutase to increase the antioxidant protection of the skin.
• Normalization of the process of melanin formation.
• Inflammation prevention.
• Increasing the ability of the skin to regenerate.
• Ordering the work of blood and lymph in the vessels.

Everything about peptides became known only in the 70s of the last century, although what it was was determined as early as 1900. Today they are widely used by those who seek to preserve youth and beauty.

Peptide classification

Depending on the effect that peptides have on the skin, they are classified into 7 groups:

Name	Effect
Stimulants	They resume the production of the intercellular matrix, regulate their decay, and are added to wound healing cosmetics.
Stabilizers	They increase the protective functions of the skin, promote antioxidant activity, normalize the functions of the matrix and mantle of the epidermis.
Blockers	Relax mimic wrinkles.
Regulators of melanogenesis	Normalizes skin color.
Immunomodulators	Stimulate the synthesis of cytokines to increase the immune defense of the skin.
neurotransmitters	I increase the threshold of sensitivity, affect the temperature and pain receptors.
Affecting the microcirculation of blood and lymph	Eliminate the possibility of edema formation, increase the elasticity of blood vessels, normalize the rate of blood movement.

In cosmetology, signal groups of peptides containing 2-3 amino acid residues are used.

Copper tripeptides, nanopeptides and argireline are found in many Italian under-eye products.

The most popular in cosmetology are:

• Palmitoyl pentapeptide-4,
• Palmitoyl tripeptide-5,
• Decapeptide - 4,
• Acetyl decapeptide - 3,
• Oligopeptides - 24 and 34,
• Copper tripeptide - 1,
• Tripeptide - 6,
• Palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7.

When combining peptides with different effects, a more pronounced cosmetic effect can be achieved. Therefore, usually the composition of the funds includes not one group of substances, but several.

On average, the concentration of peptides in cosmetics does not exceed 20%.

What are they for?

The use of products with peptides, depending on the type, allows you to achieve the following effects:

• moisturizing,
• Fight against aging
• Acne and post-acne reduction
• wrinkle smoothing,
• Elimination of excess pigmentation,
• Activation of collagen production.

Preparations and cosmetics with peptides are used not only for the face, but also for the neck, décolleté, knees, elbows and intimate area.

Peptidotherapy is a unique way to solve aesthetic skin problems in medicine and increase the effectiveness of various injection techniques.

Side effects

Peptide cosmetics can contribute to the appearance of side effects. It is impossible to predict in advance how the substance will behave in various pathological cases.

Misuse or overuse causes:

• Moisture retention in the body
• Development of autoimmune diseases
• Slight increase in blood pressure
• Feeling of weakness
• Loss of full sensitivity of somatic cells,
• tunnel syndrome.

In practice, side effects rarely occur, and they can always be eliminated. The recovery period takes no more than 1 week.

Contraindications

Cosmetic products with peptides are prohibited for use by persons with the following features:

• severe obesity,
• Oncology,
• Psoriasis,
• diabetic retinopathy,
• Acute infectious diseases
• Rheumatoid arthritis,
• Allergy to ingredients
• autoimmune process.

Injection procedures using peptides are contraindicated for home use!

To achieve the result and avoid negative consequences, only a qualified specialist is selected.

Procedures with peptides

Due to its high biological activity, Peptid is often used for a number of procedures:

• mesotherapy,
• Biorevitalization,
• Ultraphonophoresis,
• Laser resurfacing.

Mesotherapy

It involves an injection for skin rejuvenation.

Microdoses of substances are introduced to the depth of the mesoderm. This method leads to an improvement in the color of the skin, increased elasticity and eliminates wrinkles.

Depending on which peptoid is included in the meso-cocktail, the effect of the procedure is regulated.

The therapy is carried out in a course of 5 sessions with an interval of 10 days.

Biorevitalization

This is a method used by cosmetologists to saturate the skin with useful substances. For him, a special peptide complex is taken.

Peptide biorevitalization helps fight skin aging, creates a lifting effect and visibly rejuvenates the patient.

The course of biorevitalization consists of at least 3 procedures with an interval of 14 days.

Ultraphonophoresis

Ultraphonophoresis using peptides is a physiotherapeutic procedure.

The process of ultraphonophoresis: photo

Its essence is that the skin is exposed to ultraviolet rays to increase permeability. Acoustic vibrations contribute to the distribution of Peptidz components inside the skin.

With the help of ultraphonophoresis, the functional features of fibroblasts, as well as the process of reproduction of skin cells and pigments, are normalized.

To achieve the effect, it is necessary to conduct up to 10 sessions with a break of 2 days.

Laser rejuvenation

laser resurfacing effective method producing skin rejuvenation.

During the procedure, the layers of the epidermis are evaporated laser beam. This leads to the activation of recovery reactions, and the application of peptides after the procedure enhances the effect.

Peptide preparations

Peptide injections must contain preservatives. They prevent the growth of bacteria, which can occur due to the organic origin of the substance.

The following peptide preparations are common among cosmetologists:

• Dermahil,
• Mezoay,
• Spherogel,
• Biopeptide CL.

Dermahil includes proteins and piptin, which penetrates deep into the skin. The high cost of the drug is offset by a long-term effect. It is non-addictive and does not require repeated administration sessions.

Mesoya- This is a drug in which the active substance is directly a peptide. It is only used in eyelid injections.

DMAE suitable for people of all ages. The visual effect can be assessed after the first application. With its help, the muscles are well toned, and the natural facial expressions are not disturbed.

Hydroline is a similar substance. It contains hyaluron, which helps to saturate the skin with moisture and starts the renewal mechanism.

Biopeptide CL contains triple action biopeptides. This makes the skin tight and effectively fights wrinkles. It is used for the preparation of cosmetic preparations or added to creams or anti-aging masks.

Sferogel in cosmetology

Sferogel thanks to the artificial extracellular matrix, it is able to maintain cells in a viable state for a long time.

The action of Sferogel in cosmetology has been studied and analyzed in detail by Russian scientists.

It contains peptides of partially hydrolyzed collagen. This peptite preparation (bioreparant) is certified and allowed in Russia. Manufacturer: JSC BIOMIR service, official website: biomir.biz.

The drug "SFERO®gel" is sold only through the official distributor of LLC "Berkana Siberia".

Peptides in cosmetology: how to choose and use correctly

Peptides allow women to slow down the aging process, prolong youth. These compounds scientists consider unique. Technologies appeared not so long ago, but have already proven themselves from the best side. It is important to understand that peptides are protein compounds consisting of short chains of amino acids. They are able to have a stunning effect on skin cells, which is comparable to the result of plastic surgery. Nanopreparations are actively used to perform cosmetic procedures, added to face and body skin care products.

In the article, we will consider what peptides are, what side effects you may encounter when using them. We will study the procedures in which the compounds are used, find out the contraindications. Let's make a rating of creams that are advised by leading cosmetologists.

Peptides: a panacea for aging or an invented myth?

Peptides are protein compounds. Their advantage is that they consist of a small chain of amino acids (from 2 to 10 units). Due to this, they quickly and easily penetrate into the deep layers of the epidermis.

Substances appeared relatively recently, but are already actively used in cosmetology. Many girls who have tried the action of peptides on themselves talk about their high efficiency: the skin becomes younger, fine wrinkles disappear, puffiness disappears.

Experts distinguish seven groups of peptides. They have different physiological effects:

1. Stimulants. Responsible for cell regeneration in connective tissues, promote rapid wound healing, relieve inflammation. Often included in face creams;

2. Stabilizers. They are natural antioxidants, slow down the aging process, restore the water and lipid balance of the skin;

3. Blockers. Positively affect the muscles of the face, relax them, block the transmission of nerve impulses. The effect is similar to the use of Botox. The only difference is that with the introduction of peptides, mimic activity is completely preserved;

4. Regulators. Responsible for the production of melanin, even out complexion;

5. Immunomodulators. Increase the resistance of the skin to the activity of pathogenic bacteria and microbes;

6. Neurotransmitters. Gently affect the epidermis, start cell regeneration, suitable only for sensitive skin;

7. Improve blood flow. Responsible for strengthening the vascular network, relieve swelling, increase lymph circulation.

In cosmetology, as a rule, several types of peptides are used. They enhance each other's effect. The concentration of the substance is from 15 to 35%. The result from the use of funds increases several times.

Procedures with peptides

Peptides for injection in cosmetology are used quite often. This is due to their biological activity. The components rapidly penetrate the tissues, starting the process of cell regeneration. Below are the most popular procedures:

Mesotherapy. Using a thin needle, the desired drug is injected into the upper layers of the dermis, which necessarily contains a peptide complex. The procedure is practically painless. For girls with sensitive skin, a specialist can offer local anesthesia. The result is noticeable after 4-5 sessions. The interval between them must be at least 10 days. What effect should be expected? Judging by the reviews, the girls note the following points: not deep wrinkles are smoothed out, the complexion is evened out, a blush appears, the skin becomes more elastic and smooth. Experts recommend the procedure for girls at least 18 years old. The cost is from 3000 rubles per session, it all depends on the amount of the drug administered;

Biorevitalization. The injections are given deep under the skin. The procedure is recommended for women over 35 years of age. To achieve ideal results, it is worth going through at least 4-6 sessions. Women say that in a short period of time you can completely get rid of deep wrinkles and creases on the face, remove scars and scars. Beauticians claim that the aging process at the cellular level stops, the skin tightens, and the contour of the face changes. The procedure is considered quite serious, it is expensive, but the results are pleasantly surprising. The average cost is from 7000 rubles.

If you decide to do injections, tune in to the passage of the whole course. One procedure will not give the desired effect. Remember that the key to success consists of several points: a specialist with a medical education and a certified, high-quality drug.

Choosing an injection

When choosing a drug with peptides, you should pay attention to the reviews of cosmetologists. All of them say that the composition included preservatives. Peptides are organic substances, they need protection. To prevent the appearance and reproduction of bacteria, preservatives are added. The drug must be contained in a container to which there is no access to air.

Experts recommend the following:

1. "Dermahil". In addition to peptides, it contains proteins. Plus in a long-term effect (at least 18 months). In addition, there is no addiction to it, systematic administration and increase in dosages are not required. Minus - high cost;

2. "Mesoai". A quality product used by leading cosmetic clinics. Minus - a limited area of ​​​​impact (area around the eyes);

3. DMAE. The drug has a lot of advantages: it is suitable for patients of any age, the effect is noticeable after the first procedure, it perfectly improves muscle tone, while maintaining natural facial expressions. Minus - in the cosmetic industry, you can often "run into" a fake of this drug.

There is an unspoken rule: an injection should always be advised and prescribed by a specialist. 70% of the success of the procedure depends on this.

Creams with peptides: reviews of women

Despite the fact that nanosubstances are very popular among women, it is quite difficult to find high-quality cosmetics based on them. Below we consider the top 10 creams with peptides, find out the girls' reviews about them.

Resist intensive repair cream. The tool has an excellent composition: peptides, hyaluronic acid, vitamin complex, green tea extract, essential oils, adenosine. The cream nourishes the skin, starts cell renewal processes, and is able to cope with fine wrinkles.

Judging by the reviews, the product is suitable for sensitive skin. It should be applied at night. Many people make the mistake of using makeup cream. Although it does not leave a greasy film, it is not The best decision. Girls note one huge minus - the cream cannot be found even in professional cosmetics stores. It has to be ordered online.

new line. It is produced by the popular cosmetic brand "Bark". Products have proven themselves from the best side. The composition includes lipopetdides, which provide a lifting effect. It is worth paying attention to a sufficient number natural oils. This means that the cream is also suitable for dry skin, it moisturizes the face well.

Girls still note a minus of funds - the presence of parabens in the composition. These preservatives are not classified as natural, so the quality of the cream is significantly reduced.

Mizon peptide ampoule cream. This face cream is produced by a Korean company. The principle of production is the use of only natural ingredients. Therefore, in the composition you will find peptides (in large quantities) and extracts of medicinal plants.

Reviews about the tool are good. The cream does not leave a greasy film, has a pleasant structure and smell. Minus - the effect is not immediately noticeable. You will have to use the tool for at least six months.

"Laura". Russian made tool. The cream is suitable for both day and night care. Plus in the presence of hyaluronic acid, panthenol and vitamins. The price is also attractive (350-400 rubles).

But the reviews of the girls are not always positive. It should be noted that the product is more suitable for skin with fine, not deep wrinkles. Only in this case the result will be noticeable. ladies with problematic skin no anti-aging effect was felt.

Serum "Laura". It should not be confused with Laura cream. The amount of funds is designed for 4 weeks of use. After that, it is advisable to take a break.

The reviews are as follows: “The kit includes a mesoscooter, with the help of which the serum enters the epidermis faster, in addition, blood microcirculation is improved, the effectiveness of the product increases significantly. The whole procedure takes no more than 15 minutes daily. After it, the skin becomes soft, puffiness and bruises under the eyes disappear.

Despite the fact that it is a Russian-made product, many cosmetologists also advise paying attention to it. Moreover, the pricing policy is very pleasing (the cost is 1200 rubles).

DNC. This tool has a gel structure. Pretty light and absorbs well. The composition is also pleasing, because it does not contain a single fragrance or harmful emulsifier. The manufacturer is a Belarusian company. Experts note the “Botox effect”. It is reached after a month.

Judging by the reviews, it really smooths out fine wrinkles, changes the contour of the face. A pipette is placed in the tube, which accurately measures the amount of the product. It is convenient and economical. A bottle is enough for a month of daily use.

But cosmetologists do not agree with them. They ask you to pay attention to the composition. Peptides in cosmetics have a positive effect, but you can also see parabens and thickeners. Here the opinion of experts differs. Many believe that these components should not be included in natural remedies. In all other respects, the cream is not inferior to more expensive analogues.

Skinlite peptide treatment for face and neck. Anti-aging cream-gel is available in small sachets (2 ml each). According to reviews, the serum gives a really good result. But in order for the effect to be noticeable, cosmetologists offer the following application scheme: 4 weeks (2 times a day), a break of 15 days, again 4 weeks (1 time a day).

The girls note that the first noticeable improvements with the skin occur after 2 weeks. The advantage is that the work of the sebaceous glands is normalized, the peeling of the face passes.

Sengara. The cream can be applied not only on the face, but also on the neck and décolleté. Has many benefits. One of the main ones is the natural composition.

1. Use cosmetics containing peptides 18 and 171. They help to achieve a powerful lifting effect. Small wrinkles will be smoothed out, deep ones will become less pronounced;

2. Choose a cream with G8 peptides, 173,176. At this stage, it is important to saturate the newly formed "young" cells with oxygen;

3. The final stage - fixing achieved result. Sengara cream should contain secalosides and peptides.

If all the tools are chosen correctly, the result will be amazing. This is confirmed by the numerous reviews of girls who used these funds.

Idealia by Vichy. All products of this cosmetic company are as natural as possible. Plus, the lines of creams offer night and day skin care.

Girls note that the cream has a light, pleasant texture. A definite plus is the Fusio-Film plates that come with the main tool. They are compressed preparations that, when the cream is added, dissolve and are absorbed into the skin. Their area of ​​action is deep wrinkles.

After attaching the plate, it is worth waiting a bit, the product will dissolve and be absorbed. If lumps form, add another drop of cream.

Peptides in face creams have been used relatively recently. But cosmetics has proven itself only on the positive side, even despite its high cost. The effect is not achieved immediately, as, for example, with injections, but after a month the first results will definitely be noticeable.

Above were creams from well-known manufacturers. All funds are certified. When choosing a product, the main thing is not to fall for a fake. Therefore, purchase cosmetics only in specialized stores. Remember, a low-quality product can cause allergies.

Peptide cosmetics are gaining popularity, so you need to know what to look for when choosing one or another product. Experts give the following recommendations:

1. Carefully study the composition. Peptides in the cream should be at least 25-30%. Only in this case will there be a result that you expect;

2. Peptide pentapeptide 3 actively stimulates the production of collagen, which smoothes the skin;

3. Pay attention to the presence of related substances: hyaluronic acid, vitamin complexes, oils. Interacting with them, peptides have the best effect.
Another important factor: the cream should not have a strong odor. In this case, fragrances were used that do not benefit the skin of the face.

Caution - danger

Speaking about novelties in cosmetology, of course, I want to know about their side effects and contraindications. Peptides are hypoallergenic components, but their use has some limitations.

Contraindications the following:

1. Oncological processes occurring in the body. Peptides can aggravate and progress the disease;

2. Diabetes. In this case, you need an individual consultation with specialists;

3. Rheumatoid arthritis;

4. Psoriasis. Peptides increase itching, the disease begins to progress;

5. Infectious diseases. Even with the usual SARS, it is worth giving up injections and reducing the use of peptide-based creams;

6. Obesity (severe degree);

7. Individual intolerance to the components.

As you can see, there are not very many contraindications.

With regards to side effects from the use of peptides, there are not many cases. This is explained quite simply: during mesotherapy and biorevitalization, synthesized, purified components are used. They quickly penetrate the epidermis without causing an allergic reaction. But still, when conducting injection therapy with peptide-based drugs, you need to remember some changes on the face:

1. Slight swelling (passes away within a day. If the skin is very sensitive, it may take 2-3 days);

2. Redness (permissible within 24 hours after the procedure);

3. Papules. Here you need to focus. Experts say that they should dissolve in the first five hours after injection. If this does not happen, you should immediately seek advice from a beautician.

From the use of creams side effects should not be. If itching, burning, rash, redness occurs, you should stop using the selected remedy.

Peptides are new components that are actively used in cosmetic procedures and for the manufacture of creams, gels for the face and neck. These substances quickly penetrate the epidermis, and "develop vigorous activity." The skin becomes smooth, elastic, wrinkles are smoothed out, the contour of the face changes.

Preparations, including peptides, in cosmetology began to be used relatively recently. Depending on their type, funds are issued:

- to moisturize the skin and conduct anti-aging therapy;

- blocking the function of the sebaceous glands and used to reduce acne and post-acne;

— stimulating the synthesis of collagen proteins and hyaluronic acid;

- have an effect reminiscent of the action of botulinum toxin.

They allow solving many aesthetic problems and many times increase the results of injection techniques.

What are peptides in cosmetology

In the biochemical aspect, they are biologically active molecules of natural or synthetic origin, consisting of several units of amino acid residues. The latter are interconnected by amide bonds. The properties of peptides depend on:

1. The number of these units, which can be up to ten (oligopeptides) or more (polypeptides).
2. Sequences of connecting amino acid residues.
3. The secondary structure of the molecule itself, that is, its configuration in space.

The sequence of connecting amino acid residues in the chain serves as a kind of factor that triggers certain physiological reactions in the body.

Peptides are divided into two large groups: regulatory, many of which are hormones, and signal. The basis of cosmetic preparations are signal peptides with two or three amino acid residues. They are part of the so-called dermal reductants - preparations containing biologically active components that have the ability to penetrate deeply into the dermis, act on cell receptors and, as a result, trigger the entire complex of biochemical reactions of regeneration of the intercellular substance. In addition, they regulate tissue metabolic processes and the formation of cellular proteins, normalize lipid oxidation in skin cells, and have an antioxidant effect.

For example, dermal peptides carry out:

• blockade of melanin synthesis or stimulation of its destruction;
• restoration of the structure of collagen fibers;
• suppression of the function of the sebaceous glands and the elimination or reduction of the formation of acne;
• increased metabolism;
• regeneration of walls and growth of small vessels, regulation of their permeability, etc.

Mechanism of action

The main goal of cosmetic procedures that are aimed at rejuvenating the skin is the regeneration of protein structures, especially collagen. It is signal peptides that stimulate the processes of rejuvenation of collagen proteins: signal peptide molecules are formed in the body from those amino acids that appear as a result of the destruction of the collagen structure by the collagenase enzyme; acting on those already activated by hyaluronic acid, they activate the mechanism for the synthesis of a new protein.

However, after 35 years, the accumulation of free radicals in the skin leads to the modification of collagen protein and the inability to control the process of its destruction by the body, and hence the formation of signal peptides. And even when fibroblasts are activated from the outside with hyaluronic acid, they do not receive the necessary signal to start the process of neocollagenesis, since they do not have their own signal peptides.

In the absence of neocollagenesis, age-related changes in the skin occur, and its ptosis increases more and more. Hyaluronic acid in these cases, as a biorevitalizant, it cannot have any positive result, but signal peptides are also ineffective in case of insufficient fibroblast function. Therefore, peptide injections in cosmetology are especially effective and give a lasting result if they are administered in combination with stimulating the function of fibroblasts and their growth.

Benefits of Peptides and Their Possible Side Effects

In addition to peptides, various preparations with amino acids and proteins are used in cosmetology. Although they are also biologically active components, but:

• the action of peptides in the composition of cosmetics, unlike amino acids and proteins, lends itself to easy reliable measurement of their biological activity and differentiation;
• amino acids are too primitive and do not have a noticeable effect compared to the rest of the ingredients of the cosmetic preparation, and protein molecules are too large and almost do not penetrate the stratum corneum when applied externally;
• the structure of peptide molecules is complex and capable of providing active action on biochemical reactions and, at the same time, their size is much smaller than proteins, which allows them to relatively easily, with regular use, penetrate into the deep dermal layers and function in accordance with the individual characteristics of the skin and biological rhythms;
• synthetic peptides are characterized by a significantly higher degree of purification.

For these reasons, peptide components are the most promising not only for use in procedures, and even for contouring, but also for inclusion in external cosmetics. Moreover, ongoing research supports the use of peptide preparations in aesthetic medicine in order to correct and slow down the processes of age-related nature. They can be used not only by specialists at various stages of professional cosmetic skin care, but also at home.

The use of procedures and external preparations with peptides helps to reduce Negative influence external factors- psychogenic, ultraviolet radiation, air polluted with chemical aerosols, sharp fluctuations in air temperature, etc.

Bioregulation with the help of peptides is also recommended for use in preparation for and after plastic surgery, as well as before and after aggressive cosmetic procedures, such as, or. The use of peptide therapy in these cases is especially justified, since it:

• contributes to the acceleration of regeneration processes;
• positively affects the maintenance of the adaptive capabilities of the skin and the whole organism as a whole at an optimal level;
• significantly reduces the rehabilitation time;
• reduces the risk of negative consequences.

At the same time, side effects of the use of peptides in cosmetology, which are associated with their "pleiotropy", are not excluded. This term means the possibility of an unintended multiple action on different cells in different fabrics and in various pathological situations. For example, in clinical practice, the toxic effect of some cytokines, characterized by positive properties, has been noted. When it enters the bloodstream and certain conditions they had a negative systemic effect on the entire body.

For example, certain diseases with inflammatory manifestations are associated with the unusual (abnormal) activity of certain peptides, which, under normal conditions, on the contrary, have protective functions. In these cases, they can provoke allergic reactions or autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, psoriasis, gout and some others, as well as cancer. And although such obvious episodes have not been officially registered in practical cosmetology, the theoretical risk of provoking them has not yet been completely excluded.

The content of the article:

Peptides are natural or synthetic compounds made up of amino acids. They can be synthesized by the body itself or come from outside with cosmetic and medicines. The main purpose of these structural units of the protein is the regulation of the vital activity of living cells, due to which they began to be actively introduced into cosmetic complexes to control the processes occurring in the skin. How effective are peptides in solving cosmetic problems, how safe are they for health and is it worth buying peptide cosmetics - read the answers to all these and many other questions in this article.

Description and mechanism of action of peptides in cosmetology

Most cosmetic problems arise as a result of disruption of cell activity, lack of nutrients. Premature aging, the appearance of wrinkles, flabbiness of the skin, an ugly color and much more dictate to cosmetologists and researchers the need to search for the best effective means to eliminate skin imperfections.

From the beginning of the 20th century, research began on previously unexplored amino acid compounds, i.e. peptides. Quite quickly, their study led to interesting results. Peptides have a number of important useful properties, have a regulatory effect on the cells of the body, being responsible for the correct course of all intracellular processes.

There are two ways to form them: the combination of several amino acids into short chains or the breakdown of a protein into structural elements. Peptides are not an auxiliary material, but are considered an integral means of the normal functioning of tissues. This was the main reason that peptide compounds were actively added to cosmetics.

It is known that there is a huge variety of peptides that differ in primary and secondary structure, i.e. the sequence of amino acids, the structure of the molecule itself and the spatial molecular configuration. The primary structure is a code, which in turn is responsible for certain physiological processes.

Peptides used in cosmetology are characterized by a high degree of safety of use. They are synthesized by splitting a protein or combining amino acids, so their composition is pure from harmful substances. They do not have a toxic effect, do not cause allergic reactions. The use of these amino acid compounds is not addictive.

The most important distinguishing feature and, as studies have shown, a huge advantage of peptides in the composition of cosmetics over amino acids and protein is that they have optimal size and complex enough structure for rapid penetration into skin and the most effective impact on the biochemical processes occurring in cells. Amino acids are too small and simple in structure, therefore, penetrating into the skin, they are practically unable to have the desired effect. Protein molecules, on the contrary, are quite complex in structure, but too large to freely enter the cells of the skin.

The mechanism of action of peptides is very interesting. It can be described as follows:

• Once in the cell nucleus, peptides contribute to the production of genetic elements that are responsible for cell reproduction. They regulate the necessary rate of division of stem cells.
• The effect of peptides on young cells is manifested in informing, i.e. peptides encode them to perform certain functions and ensure the correct development.
• Mature cells are provided with the necessary proper functioning a set of receptors and enzymes, i.e. peptides regulate their metabolism, increasing the phase of active work.
• By increasing the activity of intracellular systems, cell survival increases. In general, peptide compounds provide the optimal ratio of cells at different stages of their life cycle, i.e. dividing, maturing, actively functioning, as well as dying.
• All this leads to improved microcirculation, improved delivery of nutrients.
• Also, the cells start restructuring their own collagen. Gradually, the activation of the functionality of fibroblasts occurs, which leads to a slowdown in tissue aging. Pigment production is blocked, which reduces the severity age pigmentation. The activity of the sebaceous glands decreases, which has a beneficial effect on the cleanliness of the skin, acne is eliminated, and oily sheen disappears.
• Peptides reduce the destructive effect of interleukin 1, a hormone-like protein.
• As a result, the skin is rejuvenated, many cosmetic problems disappear.

Peptides are injected into the skin in several ways:

1. Mesotherapy. Carried out in a professional salon. A peptide preparation is injected into the upper layers of the skin through a thin needle. Suitable for young skin. It is not advisable to carry out the procedure for girls under the age of 18. The course consists of 5 sessions, between which there is a pause of 9-11 days. The total cost of mesotherapy is from 15,000 rubles. The result is getting rid of fine wrinkles, increasing the elasticity of the skin, improving their color.
2. Biorevitalization. Method of administration similar to mesotherapy. The difference is that during biorevitalization, the drug is injected much deeper into the skin tissues. Characterized by higher efficiency. Eliminates for short terms even deep wrinkles, scars, tightens the contour of the face. The minimum cost of a course of 5 procedures is 35,000 rubles. The method is not suitable for everyone. Indicated for women over 35 years of age.
3. External processing method. This is the easiest way that does not require a visit to the salon. For its implementation, cream, serum or other peptide cosmetics are used. It is the least effective compared to mesotherapy and biorevitalization, but is the most affordable. After treatment of the skin, the peptides are not fully absorbed into the epidermis, but they solve many cosmetic problems, in particular, prevent premature aging. For improved permeability of useful components, special compounds with hydrophobic groups or solvents are being developed.

Peptides in cosmetics: harm and benefit

Cosmetic products with peptides are called "dermal reductants". They are based on biologically active components that are able to freely penetrate into the deep layers of the skin, affect cell receptors, launching the whole complex of their regenerative resources. What else do short chains of amino acids influence, are they always useful and safe - it's time to talk about the beneficial properties and possible contraindications peptides in cosmetics.

Useful properties of peptide cosmetics

The role of peptides for skin health is great, because. without them, many natural processes at the cellular level are simply impossible. Their main functions are:

• Regeneration of skin tissue. Recovery processes are quite fast, because. peptides are able to recognize places where lesions appear, where skin cells are damaged. Also, these structural elements of the protein are actively involved in their direct restoration and eliminate inflammation.
• Strengthening the top layer of the skin. The action of peptides leads to an increase in the tone of the skin.
• Nutrition Improvement. Normalization of the structure and functionality of cells leads to the establishment of their supply with nutrients. The skin receives the necessary amount of oxygen, minerals, vitamins, moisture.
• Improving the protective functions of the skin. A strengthened dermis becomes less susceptible to various harmful effects of external factors, whether it be the action of free radicals or mechanical stress.
• Achieving a cosmetic effect. Peptides are able to relieve the tension of facial muscles, which leads to a gradual smoothing of the skin, the elimination of shallow wrinkles. Collagen synthesis is normalized, which provides a tightening effect. The establishment of blood flow and microcirculation of substances in the cells leads to the elimination of darkening under the eyes, swelling, irritation. Gradually disappear dark spots. A clear rejuvenating effect is visible. Eliminates oily sheen.

In general, the value of cosmetics with peptides lies in the normalization of the vital activity of each cell, the prevention of tissue aging, and the preservation of genetic material. In this regard, peptides are incredibly useful and essential for the rehabilitation of the skin after some cosmetic procedures, such as laser treatment, chemical peels, as well as various surgeries. They bring great benefits and a huge cosmetic effect in the fight against post-acne traces.

Harm and contraindications to the use of cosmetics with peptides

Cream with peptides, peptide preparations for mesotherapy and biorevitalization, given their potential effectiveness, attract a lot of attention from women who want to get their hands on a formula for preserving youth and beauty. However, is everything so simple and safe, are there any restrictions in the use of these miracle remedies - important questions to which you need to know the answer before a salon procedure or buying a drug for home use.

The circumstances are such that, despite the hypoallergenicity and purity of the composition of the peptides, their use is limited by several contraindications.

So, you can not use dermal reductants in the presence of such diseases:

1. Benign or malignant neoplasms;
2. Diabetes;
3. Psoriasis;
4. Rheumatoid arthritis;
5. Obesity;
6. Infectious diseases.

Separately, it is worth mentioning individual intolerance. It is possible that this or that peptide is not capable of causing allergic reactions, but it is not used in its pure form, and for ease of use and increased shelf life, it is combined with other ingredients that, individually or in combination, can cause negative manifestations on the part of the body.

Do not be afraid of an overdose of peptides, because the resulting excess of short chains will be split into amino acids.

Cosmetic preparations with peptides can cause, albeit extremely rarely, some side effects. In the vast majority of cases, this does not apply to products for external use, but to substances that are injected with a needle during a mesotherapy or biorevitalization session. So, injection therapy leads to short-term swelling, redness, the appearance of papules, which usually resolve on their own 4-5 hours after the procedure.

How to choose professional cosmetics with peptides

Before thinking about how to choose cosmetics with peptides, it is worth deciding which brand you can trust and which companies produce professional cosmetics that are characterized by a safe composition and high efficiency.

It is known that professional cosmetics cannot be purchased in ordinary stores. The cost of such funds cannot be low, because Dozens of specialists from various fields, dermatologists, chemists, cosmetologists, technologists, etc. are working on their development, and expensive substances and technologies are used to create them.

If we talk about salon procedures, then the choice of a manufacturer and a specific dermal reductant lies on the shoulders of a cosmetologist who performs mesotherapy or biorevitalization. Once you get to a good specialist, you can rely on his opinion and experience.

Criteria for choosing professional peptide cosmetics:

• Manufacturer. Speaking of products for home use, you need to understand that the acquisition professional cosmetics with peptides should begin with the selection of a manufacturer. On the official website you can get comprehensive information on each company. Manufacturers with extensive experience have a wide range of products.
• Purpose. Choose a cream according to your skin type.
• Functionality. Clearly define what problems the cream should solve, what main tasks it should perform, for example, moisturizing, cleansing, protecting, rejuvenating, toning, whitening.
• Compound. It is important to study the composition of the cosmetic product. A high-quality peptide cream may contain various extracts, refined oils, vitamins, and bioactive complexes. In this case, the amount of auxiliary substances should be minimal.
• Availability of certificates. Do not forget that the evidence of high quality and the efficiency declared by the manufacturer, as well as the safety of use, is the presence of quality certificates.

Varieties of peptides and their characteristics

It is worth dwelling in more detail on such criteria as the composition of cosmetics with peptides. How many types of peptide compounds, so many functions. Some of them are intertwined and duplicated, but still there is a certain distinction.

Here is a list of the most commonly used peptides in cosmetics and describe their main properties:

1. Clotorfin. Stimulates the synthesis of elastin, triggers its mechanism correct assembly which provides a lifting effect.
2. DKI. Slows down the process premature aging, promotes hydration of the epidermis, restores tone. Often used as a preparation for peeling or laser resurfacing funds, because able to prevent the appearance of scars and irritation after these procedures.
3. Palmitoyl tripeptide-5. This peptide complex is the most attractive for cosmetologists, because. it is multifunctional. Perfectly penetrates the skin, quickly activates the synthesis of collagen fibers and mucopolysaccharides. Increases the elasticity of the dermis. Stimulates recovery resources, providing rapid regeneration of connective tissue, vascular walls. Effective in strengthening the skin and in the fight against even deep wrinkles.
4. Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4 (Matrixyl). Refers to regulatory peptides, tk. participates in the regulation and restoration of useful proteins of elastin, collagen, which are the building components of the skin. Significantly improves appearance skin.
5. Acetate hexapeptide-3 (argireline). Blocks the neurotransmitter catecholamine, which is responsible for nerve impulses. It relieves muscle spasm, tension of mimic muscles, which eliminates fine wrinkles. The action of acetate hexapeptide-3 is comparable to that of botulinum toxin, but does not have the same effect. side effect like "mask".
6. Aqua-dextran-nonapeptide-1 (melanostatin-5TM). Brightens the skin, eliminates age spots.
7. Palmitoyl tetrapeptide-3. Effectively absorbed by the skin, tk. the base - part of immunoglobulin G - is attached to hexadecanoic acid. This complex is made from rice and soy. The main action is aimed at neutralizing inflammatory processes and activating protective functions. The beneficial effect is also expressed in moisturizing, increasing elasticity, eliminating dark circles and swelling under the eyes.
8. Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7 (Rigin). Slows down inflammatory processes, optimizes the amount of cytokines, rejuvenates the skin.
9. Acetyl octapeptide-3 (New snap-8). It destabilizes a long chain protein that is responsible for muscle contraction, thereby helping to smooth out wrinkles. The relaxing effect is higher than from the effects of argireline.

Is it worth using cosmetics with peptides

Given the size and structure of peptides, cosmetics that include them in the composition are more effective than sensational products with elastin and collagen in the composition. As mentioned earlier, peptide molecules penetrate better through the stratum corneum of the skin.

Cream with peptides for the face, according to numerous studies by European and American scientists, has a deep effect that can not only provide a cosmetic effect for a certain period, but inexpensive creams, but also guarantee the smooth operation of the cells for a long time.

The highest efficiency is achieved with the timely start of use. Up to about 35 years, the body independently synthesizes the necessary substances. After this age, the aging process accelerates significantly. Maintenance of tissue cells must begin before the start of this period.

Some researchers believe that dermal reductants are unable to exhibit the properties attributed to them. beneficial features and only have a placebo effect. Others are left out.

In the face of controversy, it is worth relying on the reviews of real buyers who have been using peptides for the face and body for a long period. The network has numerous responses from women who preferred the use of dermal reductants to expensive botulinum toxin injections and cheap creams and received the desired rejuvenation effect without side effects.

Creams such as Resist Intensive repair cream, New line, Mizon peptide ampoule cream, Laura, DNC, Echoice, Sengara, Idealia Vichy deserve great popularity.

It is noteworthy that the demand for safe rejuvenation and maintaining the high functionality of all body systems is growing every day. On this moment, in addition to cosmetics, there are developments of peptide preparations intended for internal reception. According to their developers, they are able to slow down the aging process throughout the body as a whole.
