Peptides are a group of compounds formed by joining amino acids together. These elements make up proteins, the basic building blocks of every organism. Peptides take part in the formation of collagen, which is essential for keeping skin supple and elastic. Thanks to their effect on collagen formation, peptides can help soften the look of fine lines, wrinkles and pigment spots. Those who choose to use them can look forward to improved texture and a healthier-looking complexion. In this article we will tell you more about peptides.
The benefits of using peptides in cosmetics
Among the benefits of peptides is their ability to hold moisture in the skin, bringing it the hydration it needs. The result is nourished, soft skin full of life. Peptides can improve the look of the skin by hydrating it and softening the signs of ageing. They are also traditionally appreciated for their soothing qualities, which can help skin prone to blemishes or dryness feel calmer. They actively contribute to the health and beauty of the skin. Peptides can travel deep into the skin and support its natural renewal processes. Among other things, they encourage the production of collagen and elastin, which improves the skin's elasticity and softens fine lines. They also help to reduce the look of pigment spots and to even out the skin tone.
There are many kinds of peptides
Today there is a great variety of peptides, each with different qualities and effects. Below we take a closer look at a few popular peptides that have found their place in cosmetics.
Pea peptide for hair
One of the most effective is the pea peptide, with a well-proven anti-ageing effect. It adds volume and antioxidant protection and helps to slow the ageing of the hair. It forms a film on the scalp and so works to hydrate the hair, giving it a soft and healthy look. Peptides from pea seed extract provide important building proteins for the hair roots. Pea protein nourishes the hair, extends its life cycle, reduces hair loss and supports new growth. This wonderful pea peptide is found in our Vlasorost hair serum.
Argireline peptide for a beautiful face
The Argireline peptide is also called Botox in a bottle. It is a patented solution of Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 with remarkable effects. Controlled studies have shown that Argireline improves the appearance of areas of the face prone to dynamic lines, including around the eyes and the forehead. These studies also showed that the water content of a formulation influences how well Argireline is used, and specifically that a higher water content in a product contributes to better use of this peptide. That is one reason we chose it for our hydrating peptide serum, which contains its highest possible concentration of 10%. The Argireline peptide is also used in our peptide day cream and peptide night cream.
A neuropeptide inspired by snake venom

Another popular peptide is the Neuropeptide. It is known for mimicking the effects of snake venom. The neuropeptide is said to relax muscle contractions in a way similar to botox. Thanks to this it helps to smooth the look of expression lines on the face. This effective peptide is found in our SI KRÁSNA facial serum and also in our SI KRÁSNA face cream.
The Syn-coll peptide supports collagen production
The Syn-coll peptide was specially designed to help the skin naturally stimulate collagen production, which helps to soften and even slow visible signs of ageing such as fine lines and wrinkles. In addition, the Syn-coll peptide also brings extra hydrating ability. Together with dragon's blood - an active ingredient for revitalising and rejuvenating the skin - it forms the heart of our BÁTHORYČKA day cream. Using peptides in cosmetic products is a lovely way to help the skin soften the signs of ageing and enjoy a younger, healthier look. Choose from our range of cosmetic products with peptides today.
