Peptides in skincare: their regenerative benefits.

This paper explores the growing demand for medical aesthetic treatments and skincare products in the UK, focusing on the role of peptides in addressing both intrinsic and extrinsic skin ageing. The UK skincare market is experiencing rapid growth, driven by increased consumer awareness and interest in clean beauty, wellness, and regenerative medicine. Peptides, with their regenerative properties, are highlighted as key ingredients in medical aesthetic skincare, offering multifaceted benefits such as anti-ageing, antimicrobial, and antioxidant effects. The paper discusses the various types of peptides, including signal, carrier, and antimicrobial peptides, and their mechanisms in promoting skin health, improving collagen production, and supporting a healthy microbiome. Peptide technologies represent a cutting-edge approach in treating skin concerns, making them a promising addition to medical aesthetic treatments. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
