- ArgirelineAcetyl Hexapeptide-8, Acetyl Hexapeptide-3
Argireline is a peptide nicknamed "topical Botox" because it helps relax the tiny muscle contractions beneath the skin. It specifically targets expression lines around the eyes and forehead. It's no match for injectable Botox, but it's a gentle, non-invasive option.
Peptide - Copper PeptidesCopper Tripeptide-1, GHK-Cu
Copper peptides, most famously GHK-Cu, are molecules pairing copper with short amino-acid chains. They signal the skin to ramp up collagen, elastin, and tissue repair. They're among the most powerful yet relatively gentle anti-ageing ingredients.
Peptide - MatrixylPalmitoyl Pentapeptide-4, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1, Matrixyl 3000
Matrixyl is a trade name for a family of famous anti-ageing peptides, most notably palmitoyl pentapeptide-4. They act as signals that prompt the skin to produce collagen and repair itself. They're a gentle, effective option for anyone wanting a softer alternative to retinol.
