Best peptide serum on test - face care test

 

What types of peptides are there? In their simplest form, peptides work as transmitters. Such signal peptides are most commonly used in skincare because they increase the skin's firmness, resistance, and elasticity. An example of these signal peptides is palmitoyl pentapeptide, which is very common. It is responsible for increasing collagen types I and IV as well as glycosaminoglycan. This collagen tricks the skin into thinking that it has destroyed too much collagen during natural cell breakdown and rebuilding. This triggers the skin to produce even more collagen. So-called carrier peptides, which are responsible for the transport of active ingredients, are also important. Copper tripeptide -1 is an active ingredient of this type. It supports the production of collagen and also acts as a free radical scavenger. These arise, for example, from extensive sunbathing or excessive stress. Neuropeptides are found in nerve tissue; they serve as messenger substances for the muscles. In doing so, they inhibit the release of neurotransmitters in the skin.

Argireline (Acetyl Hexapeptide-3) is an external alternative to Botox injections, minimizing wrinkles and furrows with regular use. Enzyme-modulating peptides block the function of critical enzymes in the metabolic process. They prevent the breakdown of the capillary walls and promote the skin's immune defense. A peptide mix called Eyeliss contains swelling of the tissue and permanently stimulates the tightening of the skin. These types of peptides are classified by many independent bodies, such as the Gesellschaft für Dermopharmazie (G.D.), as recommended antiaging active ingredients. They are, therefore, widely used in modern cosmetics and skincare products. We have to say that the functional principle of boosters convinces us more and more. They are highly concentrated substances that can primarily be added to other care products. Of course, you can also use pure. It is still not so economical and efficient because they are usually a tad more expensive due to the high concentration of active ingredients. After the niacinamide booster from Paula's Choice thoroughly convinced us, we wanted to try out the peptide booster from the same manufacturer introduced a few months ago.

Skin Care products

The booster's composition is characterized by 8 different peptides, supplemented by amino acids, antioxidants, and natural extracts. There are so many of them in it that we asked ourselves before using it whether the booster didn't have too many ingredients. That, in turn, would be counterproductive because it would not be possible to assess which active ingredient works well with your skin type and which may even trigger intolerance. However, these concerns have proven to be unfounded. The contained peptides take on different tasks by improving the skin's cell communication and thereby activating other natural skin functions. Palmitoyl tripeptide-1, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7, and palmitoyl hexapeptide-12 are responsible for improving the moisture balance (anti-wrinkle effect). Myristoyl Hexapeptide-16 and Myristoyl Pentapeptide-17 enhance the elasticity of the skin and also have an anti-inflammatory effect. Hexanoyl Dipeptide-3 supports natural skin renewal and thereby smooths the complexion. Azelaoyl Dipeptide-10 inhibits the production of melanin and thereby works against excessive skin pigmentation. The aim of this peptide complex is a more refined complexion with fewer lines and less hyperpigmentation and strengthening the skin barrier and maintaining the natural moisture balance.

Anti-Aging products

From our perspective, the peptide booster is the most effective peptide skin care product that the beauty market currently offers. You really only need a few drops of it - mixed with a good skin care cream or serum - to enrich these products with useful peptides. Of course, you shouldn't expect the Peptide Booster to turn a 3 euro day cream from the drugstore into a super-duper antiaging product. But the chances are good that it will definitely improve its effects. And take an already high-quality moisturizer as a base. You can turn it into a high-quality and, above all, highly effective antiaging product by adding a booster. P.S. Incidentally, the peptide booster from Paula's Choice goes very well with retinol. In this case, we would recommend using the champion before applying the retinol-containing product. Please don't forget that retinol makes the skin more sensitive to light. In this case, permanent U.V. protection is a must-have! Foxbrim is an American cosmetics manufacturer that has primarily dedicated itself to "organic cosmetics." This means that only natural and sustainable ingredients are used, and the products usually have a simple formulation without any additives. Foxbrim has some highly concentrated skincare serums on offer, including retinol, vitamin C, and hyaluronic acid.

We were, therefore, very curious to see how the Peptide Complex Serum fares in our comparison. As the name suggests, the Foxbrim Serum contains a peptide complex primarily aimed at improving skin moisture. This is supported by hyaluronic acid and natural oils (jojoba oil and witch hazel). The peptide serum has an aqueous substance but has a slightly gel-like effect after application. The serum is absorbed within about 30 seconds. Of course, this also has to do with the individual skin type - the soaking time is even shorter for dry and stressed skin. Despite natural oils, the Peptide Serum has a very restrained fragrance and is a relatively simple product. Due to its light consistency, it is not suitable as a stand-alone skin care product - you definitely need a good moisturizer afterward. The Foxbrim Serum is ideal for daily use - for dry skin also twice a day, in the morning and in the evening as part of the respective skincare routine.
