Definition: Peptides are large molecules that are the building blocks of proteins. In fact, short bonds or links between the amino acids are known as peptides! Without peptides, skin doesn't remain intact, as they support collagen and elastin - responsible for skin firmness and elasticity. In skincare, synthetic peptides communicate and direct the skin cells to behave in a certain way, they have great managerial skills!
