Routine Use of Skincare with Peptides for Maximum Collagen Production

Dream - The presence of hyaluronic acid (AHA) in skincare products is always sought after because it can help rejuvenate the skin, brighten it, slow down aging, and much more. Usually, one product contains both AHA and BHA.

There is another hyaluronic acid called peptides. This formula is quite popular and used in many anti-aging cream products. Peptides themselves are compounds consisting of amino acids.

"Peptides are smaller in size than proteins and are found in every cell and tissue in the human body," said Dr. Erin Gilbert, a Vichy Skin Consultant in New York City, quoted from Skincare.com.

Peptides function by signaling cells to increase collagen production, which is the main component in skin structure formation.

Benefits of Peptides

The causes of common skin problems are wrinkles, dehydration, changes in color, decreased firmness, and dull skin. Including the decrease in collagen production with aging.

That's why peptides are highly needed for the skin every day. It is recommended to use creams that contain peptides regularly, when entering the late 20s.  

"Peptides play a role in maintaining the appearance of youthful skin, regardless of skin type," said Dr. Erin.

This formula is also generally safe for all skin types, although Dream Friends also need to pay attention to the consistency of the products used. Adjust to your skin type.

Make Hyaluronic Acid a Routine, Skin Becomes Supple and Soft

Dream - Keeping the skin hydrated is one way to achieve radiant skin. To achieve this, you can use products that contain hyaluronic acid.

Not only does it add moisture to the skin, but hyaluronic acid also functions to prevent dryness and make the skin look supple and youthful. 

"Hyaluronic acid or hyaluronic acid naturally occurs in our skin. This ingredient is able to retain water and help keep the skin hydrated, supple, and firm," said Dr. Hadley King, a skin and beauty specialist. 

As we age, the natural reserves of hyaluronic acid will decrease and cause the skin to lose hydration. Therefore, fine lines and wrinkles will appear.

“Hyaluronic acid helps the facial skin become more elastic and supple, and of course, it will also help minimize fine lines and wrinkles on the skin,” said Joelle O’Connor, a beauty expert.

Skin Types that Should Use Hyaluronic Acid

"Hyaluronic acid is intended for dry skin and for those who want to have supple skin," said Dr. King.

If you have oily skin, it is better not to use hyaluronic acid or hyaluronic acid in your routine. For those with oily skin, it is important to keep the skin hydrated so that it is not overcompensated and produces more oil as a result.

In addition to paying attention to skin types, you also need to pay attention to the condition of the skin to determine whether to use hyaluronic acid or not. 

“If your skin starts to look dull, flaky, and fine lines to wrinkles appear, it's time for you to use products that contain hyaluronic acid,” said O’Connor. 

How to Use Hyaluronic Acid

Products that contain hyaluronic acid can be used in the morning or at night, or even both. Using hyaluronic acid at night will make the skin more supple. Meanwhile, during the day, it will make the skin more hydrated. 

The content of hyaluronic acid is very good for maintaining hydration and can be used as part of your daily routine. According to Dr. King, it is very important to use hyaluronic acid products with emollient or occlusive moisturizers to lock in hydration in the skin.
