"...Peptides have the ability to send messages and unlock the codes to a variety of skin processes, meaning a small dose of a peptide would offer a potentially dramatic impact on skin's biological activity."
Yet, this is old news to the scientific community who has been researching peptides and their natural potential for more than 50 years. President of Young Pharmaceuticals, John E. Kulesza, states in the article that,
"the underlying challenge we see with many of these peptides is that they are so polar they penetrate the skin quite poorly. To reach those living cells in the basal layer of the epidermis and deeper, we have to first get the peptide through the stratum corneum."
Then, in late 90's came the ground-breaking development of the first landmark signal peptide: Matrixyl. Matrixyl acts as a messenger between cells, shown to stimulate the formation of collagen and elastin. However, it wasn't until the attachment of palmitic acid to Matrixyl, that the results became equivocal to retinoids (think: Retin-A), but without irritation.
Today, peptides are showing an incredibly wide range of promise for collagen stimulation, anti-inflammation, skin brightening, muscle relaxation (for a Botox-like effect), and even eyelash enhancement.
