putting the ‘pep’ in your peptides
To help you age gracefully, you should be incorporating peptides into your skincare regimen. Peptides are short chains of amino acids that act as structural components of cells and tissues. When used topically, peptide serums absorb deep into the skin and aid in collagen production, anti-aging, improved elasticity, and reduced fine lines and wrinkles.

So, do they both provide the same function? Is one more efficacious than the other?
