Skin aging is characterized by both intrinsic and extrinsic processes and is an inevitable process for the skin. For instance, our skin is affected by many factors: the sun, bad weather and bad habits. Intrinsically aging skin is characterized by laxity and some exaggerated expression lines.
Peptides are powerful tools for anti-aging. They are known to improve skin elasticity, strengthen the skin barrier, and reduce inflammation.
Skin ageing is a cumulative result of oxidative stress, predominantly caused by reactive oxygen species (ROS). The mechanism of anti-aging peptides can be attributed to complex reactions with inactive ROS. Specifically, these peptides scavenge free radicals, chelate proto-oxidized transition metals, reduce hydroperoxides, enzymatically eliminate specific oxidants, and alter the physical properties of the skin by isolating active substances.
In the current cosmetic and pharmaceutical market, anti-aging peptides are classified into four main categories, namely signal peptides, neurotransmitter-affecting peptides, carrier peptides, and antioxidant peptides. Details are shown below [1].
| Categories | Action of Peptides |
|---|---|
| Signal peptides | Increases fibroblast production of collagen or decreases collagenase breakdown of existing collagen. |
| Neurotransmitter-affecting peptides | Decreases facial muscle contraction and thus reduces lines and wrinkles by raising the threshold for minimal muscle activity. |
| Carrier peptides | Stabilizes and delivers essential trace elements necessary for wound healing and enzymatic processes. |
| Antioxidant peptides | Directly reduces free radicals and ROS by their great antioxidant activities or enzymatic effects. |
