What are peptides?

Peptides are short chains of amino acids that act as building blocks for proteins such as collagen, elastin and keratin. These proteins are the foundations of your skin, providing texture, strength and resilience. Without peptides, the skin loses its integrity, which can lead to a loss of firmness, the appearance of wrinkles, a change in texture and a less plump appearance.

The benefits of peptides for the skin

Used in skincare, peptides can offer a number of benefits, such as:

• Reinforced skin barrier
• Reduced wrinkles and fine lines
• More elastic skin
• Less skin redness, irritation and inflammation
• Fewer imperfections

The peptide core of this formula contains smoothing and brightening niacinamide and a blend of repairing and balancing fatty acids from olive, marula, tamanu, baobab and sesame.

Microbiome-friendly biofermentation boosts the skin's ability to rejuvenate thanks to a diverse nutritional panel of postbiotics, amino acids and minerals.

What is niacinamide?

Niacinamide is the name given to one of the three forms of vitamin B3,, also known as vitamin PP. Like all B vitamins, it is essential for good health, and plays an important role in the metabolisation of nutrients - proteins, lipids and carbohydrates. Used in skincare, niacinamide offers many benefits, such as:

Anti-acne

Niacinamide's anti-inflammatory properties are responsible for its effectiveness in treating acne-prone skin. By reducing the inflammation of pimples, it helps to reduce mild to moderate acne. What's more, its smoothing properties help the skin's pores to tighten, limiting the infiltration of bacteria and the proliferation of pimples. Vitamin B3 helps regulate sebum production, making it a precious ally for oily and combination skin prone to blemishes. A triple anti-acne action, which makes niacinamide one of the top gentle ingredients for treating problem skin.

 Anti-aging

Its antioxidant action and ability to boost skin collagen production give this vitamin an undeniable anti-ageing effect. Indeed, the oxidation of epidermal cells, victims of free radicals, is largely responsible for skin slackening. By curbing oxidative stress, vitamin B3 preserves the skin's youthful appearance.

Niacinamide can also help limit the impact of environmental damage, thanks to its ability to improve the skin barrier. Pollution, UV rays, chemicals and household products are less likely to penetrate the skin barrier and accelerate skin ageing.

Reduces pigmentation spots

From the age of 40, when the sun's protection begins to diminish, brown spots, also known as ‘sun spots’ or ‘age spots’, start to appear on the skin. Niacinamide has the ability to regulate melanin production and therefore limit the appearance of brown spots.
