Peptides have become the latest rage in skincare. chains of amino acids, linked by specific peptide bonds, work within the skin to strengthen collagen fibres, revive cellular processes and reinforce the skin from within. HydroPeptide, distributed in Australia by True Solutions, is trailblazing the use of peptides in cosmetics and is suitable for treating a wide range of skin types and conditions.
How peptides work
Peptides have traditionally been revered as a way to increase collagen stimulation. Hydropeptide creator, Dr Louise peck, has built on this approach and developed a range that not only targets collagen synthesis but hydration, protection and purification as well.
‘HydroPeptide’s technology allows for a variety of specific peptides, in active concentrations, to be delivered repeatedly to their targeted areas for maximum results,’ head of education at True Solutions Christine Snow explains. ‘While peptides are the driving force, HydroPeptide takes a multifunctional approach with hyaluronic acid, plant stem cells and active botanicals that work harmoniously to nourish and rejuvenate skin without requiring recovery time or resulting in irritation.’
Designed to deliver a universal anti-ageing result, the HydroPeptide range harnesses the power of peptides, which work as messenger molecules in the skin, to stimulate cellular activity and increase hydration. The HydroPeptide range uses encapsulation technology to deliver the peptides deep within the skin’s layers and target the root causes of ageing.
‘HydroPeptide is formulated to address the key issues of visible skin ageing,’ Snow explains. ‘As we age, the body loses one percent of collagen every year. The decline of collagen is one of the most recognised causes for the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Healthy collagen is crucial to the appearance of the skin.’
For all skin types
Importantly, HydroPeptide has a solution suitable for all skin types, and several skin concerns. It offers customisable regimens effective in treating sensitive, acne-prone skin and hyperpigmentation. These targeted solutions are in conjunction with long-term anti-ageing benefits that stem from boosting skin health and stimulating cellular activity.
Indeed, from a glycolic anti-wrinkle cleanser to a rich enzyme mask, the HydroPeptide range seems to offer all the necessities for the modern day beauty routine. For example, the eye concentrate uses seven peptides, within a mixture of hyaluronic acid and luminescent pearls, to help improve firmness, reduce dark circles and enhance texture and tone. Similarly, HydroPeptide’s collagen boosting lip plumper uses anti-ageing peptides to plump the lips, boost the natural lip line and improve hydration and colour.
‘The growing success of HydroPeptide in Australia speaks for itself, but one case that stands out is a client who was concerned with the lines around her eyes,’ Snow recalls. ‘She achieved a 91 percent improvement on peri-orbital lines in two weeks with Hydropeptide’s eye authority solution.’
Signifying the first skincare company to incorporate peptides into every anti-ageing product, Hydropeptide landed on Australian shores just under two years ago. Since then, it has been touted as an effective option in returning youthfulness to australian skin, which is so often damaged by our harsh climate and unforgiving sun.
‘HydroPeptide delivers innovative anti-ageing skincare solutions with patented technology and peptides. It also offers effective solutions for hyperpigmentation, sensitive skin prone to redness, acne-prone skin and dehydrated skin,’ Snow concludes.
