How it works in skincare

In cosmetics, Encapsulated Peptide4 and Hexa-Peptide work by delivering short chains of amino acids deep into the skin via a microscopic encapsulation system that protects the peptides until they reach their target. Once released, they signal the skin to support its natural collagen and elastin production, helping to reduce the appearance of fine lines and improve overall skin texture and firmness in a gentle, non-irritating manner.
