Peptides-produced in response to genetic
changes.
They are command molecules. They are signaling
molecules.
They sit on top of a little opening on a cell and initiate
chemical reactions
just by inserting themselves into receptor sites, like a
lock in key fashion.
Peptides make things happen inside & outside
the body.
Peptides & Skincare
Why The FDA hates
peptides
Peptides are very active. They have a hormone like
effect.
When you use it on your skin it has a hormone like
effect.
cosmeceuticals-products in between pharmaceuticals and
cosmetics
*cosmeceutical-retinoic acid is a topical form of Vitamin
A
3 main types of skin care peptides
1) Hormone like peptides-you
put in your skin and it acts like a signaling peptide.
It will initiate
chemistry inside of the cell. (palmitoyl-pentapeptide) 5 amino acids stuck to
a palm acid (fatty acid) (brand name
matrixyl)
cytocines. Interlukin.
matrixyl-makes thicker skin
they turn
on the production of molecules that make collagen, elastin,
polysaccarides,
Hyaluronic acid that fatten and nourish the
dermis.
2) neuro muscular peptides-works with muscle & nerves in the
skin.
It will relax muscles & nerves & reduce the appearance of
wrinkles
3) carrier peptides-deliver things into a cell. (copper
peptides)
Caller 1: Cancer
Caller 2: psoriasis
