However, clinical substantiation of these benefits is not always provided &#8211; at a great disadvantage and inconvenience to the researcher. It is the objective of this article to provide the reader with examples of skin peptides that are frequently used in personal care, and the associated clinical data that is available on Prospector.<\/p>\n<h4>A Brief Review<\/h4>\n<p>Peptides are molecules that contain two or more <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ulprospector.com\/en\/na\/PersonalCare\/Product\/search?k=Amino+Acids&amp;sug=1&amp;st=31\" target=\"_blank\">amino acids<\/a>\u00a0linked by peptide bonds. Their nomenclature is derived from the number of amino acids in the chain. For example, dipeptides contain two amino acids; tripeptides three; tetrapeptides four, etc.<\/p>\n<p>Although the terms peptides and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ulprospector.com\/en\/na\/PersonalCare\/Product\/search?k=Proteins+%2f+Derivatives&amp;sug=1&amp;st=31\" target=\"_blank\">proteins<\/a>\u00a0are sometimes used interchangeably, the key differentiator is the number of amino acids in their chains. Peptides are shorter chains of amino acids, while proteins are larger, more complex molecules consisting of one or more polypeptides. Peptides play an important part in rebuilding collagen, which degrades as we age, resulting in sagging and wrinkled skin. Because of this function, these molecules are heralded in the anti-aging market with claims such as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u201cMinimizes fine lines and wrinkles.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cImproves skin elasticity.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cActivates collagen production, stimulates repair and renewal mechanisms of the skin.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Peptide Technologies and Resources<\/h4>\n<p>Many approaches have been adopted with peptide technology to provide these benefits topically. For example:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Topical application of <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ulprospector.com\/en\/na\/PersonalCare\/search?incival=4294941426&amp;sug=1&amp;st=31\" target=\"_blank\">Hexapeptide-11<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0has been shown to improve skin firmness after four weeks of treatment:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ulprospector.com\/en\/na\/PersonalCare\/Detail\/761\/28520\/Peptamide-6?st=1&amp;st=31\" target=\"_blank\">Peptamide-6: A Natural Firming Hexapeptide<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Utilizing peptide technology, the assault on aging has ventured beyond the traditional approach of boosting collagen and elastin.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Hexapeptide-33<\/strong>\u00a0which has been shown to have a skin whitening effect and assist in wound healing and wrinkle reduction among other benefits: W3 Peptide<\/li>\n<li>Products that boost synthesis of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ulprospector.com\/en\/na\/PersonalCare\/Detail\/5738\/204089\/Coenzyme-Q10?st=31\" target=\"_blank\">Coenzyme Q10<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 an antioxidant that combats premature aging. <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ulprospector.com\/en\/na\/PersonalCare\/search?incival=4294945840&amp;sug=1&amp;st=31\" target=\"_blank\">Pentapeptide-34 trifluoroacetate<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0is an ingredient that was developed to deliver this benefit:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ulprospector.com\/en\/na\/PersonalCare\/Detail\/305\/212227\/Peptide-Q10-Biofunctional?st=31\" target=\"_blank\">Peptide Q10 Biofunctional<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>Peptides such as <strong>Palmitoyl Tripeptide-8<\/strong> that fall within the emerging class of \u2018neurocosmetics\u2019, which are claimed to address cosmetic issues via the cutaneous nervous system:<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ulprospector.com\/en\/na\/PersonalCare\/Detail\/4501\/125061\/Neutrazen?st=31\" target=\"_blank\">\u00a0Neutrazen data sheet<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>Another peptide that falls within this class is an aqueous solution of <strong>Acetyl Hexapeptide -8<\/strong>, which\u00a0has been described as \u201cthe topical alternative to botulinum toxin A\u201d and has been shown to reduce the appearance of expression wrinkles:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ulprospector.com\/en\/na\/PersonalCare\/Detail\/2670\/107488\/ARGIRELINE-NP?st=31\" target=\"_blank\">Argireline: The First Peptide for Expression Wrinkles.<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Undoubtedly, peptides are exciting materials that play a prominent role in skin care.
