Neuropeptides are a group of peptides—or short chains of amino acids. They act as chemical messengers, known for their ability to stimulate skin’s production of collagen and elastin.
Studies have proven that neuropeptides can produce effects similar to that of Botox and filler. They achieve this by inhibiting the release of neurotransmitters that allow facial muscles to form wrinkles. Neuropeptides also plump the skin and improve its appearance in terms of lost elasticity and volume.
Our hero neuropeptides are GABA and palmitoyl hexapeptide-52. GABA helps diminish the look of lines and wrinkles, while helping improve elasticity so skin looks and feels firmer. Palmitoyl hexapetide-52 also assists with improving skin elasticity and lifts vital proteins in the skin.
