What is a Peptide Serum? Plus, the Benefits of Peptides for Skin You'll Love
The skincare ingredient on everyone’s lips? It’s gotta be peptides.
Let’s dig into what makes peptides worth the hype, and why you should consider adding them to your skincare ritual.
WHAT IS PEPTIDE SERUM?
Peptides are a chain of amino acids linked together by peptide bonds. Translation? As the building blocks of protein, these powerful amino acids can help revitalize and hydrate the skin.
Peptide serums can help the skin retain vital moisture and feel smooth.
WHAT DOES PEPTIDE SERUM DO?
Peptides can help strengthen and plump up the appearance of skin, which can help it retain its much-needed moisture. For mature skin, peptides also help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, helping you maintain healthy-looking skin.
WHAT TO LOOK FOR IN A PEPTIDE SERUM
When you’re shopping for a peptide serum, keep an eye out for the other featured ingredients on the bottle, not just the peptide complex. For dry skin types and mature skin, look for hydrating ingredients like ceramides and hyaluronic acid in addition to peptides in your product offerings. Or, for oily skin types and acne-prone skin, ingredients like niacinamide can help with brightening and balancing.
HOW TO USE TRULY BECOMING PEPTIDE SERUM
Truly Becoming is a multi-benefit peptide serum that consumers agree hydrates, plumps, and smooths the look of skin. An added perk? It’s all happening in one skincare product offering to keep your ritual simple.
Truly Becoming calms and hydrates, making it a great choice for dry and combination skin types. It’s best used on freshly cleansed skin, before you apply your favorite moisturizer with SPF during the day. To apply, pat in the formula with your fingertips, then let the serum set in and work its magic.
The power of Truly Becoming lies in three key ingredients:
- Poly-peptide complex is a potent amino acid formulation that helps to visibly firm and improve skin tone
- Multi-weight hyaluronic acid is a powerful hydrator, found in multiple molecular weights, to help provide a plump, smooth look to the appearance of skin
- Marine bamboo is a seaweed extract that helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
After one use, 100% of users saw an immediate increase in skin hydration, and 97% of users reported an improvement in skin hydration in just one week. (Oh, and 100% of them saw an improvement in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles in seven days.)
WHEN TO APPLY PEPTIDE SERUMS
You can generally use your peptide serum morning and night to enhance your daily ritual, but it all depends on your personal preference.
A good rule to remember when layering skincare is to apply the most lightweight formula first. Then, allow a little time for each layer to absorb. While you wait, consider its corresponding affirmation: “I am stronger than I know.” For the most soulful experience, we recommend pairing Truly Becoming with our Firm Belief Peptide Cream to your face and neck to moisturize and seal in the goodness of your ritual
