What Are Peptides & How Do They Benefit The Skin?

When formulated correctly, peptides can have tremendous benefits for skin health and appearance. However, not all peptides are made equally. Many ALASTIN Skincare products feature a very special (and proprietary) blend of active peptides and botanicals called TriHex Technology®. 

In studies, TriHex Technology® has been shown to support the production of new, healthy collagen and elastin. TriHex Technology® include the peptides Tripeptide-1 and Hexapeptide-12 that support the removal of damaged, aged collagen and elastin which can clog up the production of new collagen and elastin. It also helps the body’s natural ability to rebuild new healthy collagen and elastin and continue to replenish these proteins to establish and maintain younger-looking skin. 

Yes, certain peptides can help make skin look skin tighter. It all depends on the peptide and the formulation. The regeneration of elastin — one of the benefits of TriHex Technology® — will aid in tightening the look of skin. Plus, peptides found in ALASTIN products that target areas of the skin where laxity (aka sagginess) is a common problem help, too. You can find additional peptides that help tighten the look of skin in Restorative Neck Complex with TriHex Technology and TransFORM Body Treatment with TriHex Technology® .
